Best Cars for Dog Owners

From Burrows Motor Company


Many of us feel that our canine friends are more than just a pet, they're part of the family. We all have different opinions and needs when it comes to buying a new car. You might be looking for something packed with the latest gadgets, or safety technology, leather seats or even a hybrid model! Here are a few things to consider when you are looking for a dog-friendly car:

  • Space - is there enough space on the back seat or in the boot for your dog to travel comfortably?
  • Suspension - like us some dogs can get travel sick. So it is a good idea to choose a car with a good suspension.
  • Safety - can the car be fitted with a dog guard? Is there a child lock and central locking available to prevent accidents?
  • Windows - cars with electric windows that can be operated from the front are a good idea for letting in some fresh air when it is warmer.
  • Water - on long journeys and hotter days your dog will need to keep hydrated. So you need to think about where the water bowl will fit in the car without spilling and being easily accessed.
