Every weekend I want to go out for fun with my family and bring my dog ​​with me, because the dog is also a part of the family. Sometimes I need to drive when I want to go far, so the dog needs to take a car. The dog is too big The dog cannot be held, so it must be placed in the parking space, but it feels too confining to the dog and the dog will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, I often hesitate whether to take the dog out to play next time, but I don’t want to take it because the dog will be uncomfortable. No one is at home to take care of you! So how to choose a car that your dog likes to ride in is very necessary!

Steps/Methods

1. The car window has an anti-pinch function

2. The elevator door will automatically open again if it encounters an obstacle during closing. In fact, the car window also has an anti-pinch function. Once an obstacle is detected during the raising process of the car window, it will automatically stop the upward movement and lower to release the obstacle.

3 Many models are equipped with electric windows as standard, but not all electric windows have anti-pinch function; some models have anti-pinch function for the front windows but not the rear windows; or the four windows have anti-pinch function but not the sunroof. During driving, dogs like to stick their heads and paws out of the car. If you don't pay attention, it is easy to pinch the dog. In fact, the purpose of car window anti-pinch is mainly to prevent children from being pinched, but it can also be used on dogs.

4. There are many and large storage spaces

5 Dogs are greedy and want to eat whatever they can and cannot eat. Therefore, we have heard of dogs eating foreign objects by mistake. Therefore, large and small items in the car, such as tissues, coins, cosmetics, etc. , aromatics, coins, invoices... Do not place them in places easily accessible to dogs to avoid being eaten by greedy dogs and suffocating. It should be noted that these items must be stored in storage boxes (preferably with locks). Today’s dogs are smarter than you think. It is easy to rummage through boxes. Once it opens the storage box and finds something of interest There is nothing you can do to stop me while you are driving.

6 leather seats + dark interior

7. If your dog is in the hair loss period, it will be full of dog hair. Therefore, be sure to buy leather seats; in addition, dogs usually do not wear shoes, so it is easy to stain the seats when riding in the car, especially for shallow interiors. It does not take too long for the seats to become "deeper and shallower". If your family doesn’t object, choose dark interiors that are easy to care for.

8 wide opening doors

When getting in or out of a car, people usually subconsciously turn sideways to get in. Therefore, in order to reduce the lateral space, many vehicles do not open the doors at a large angle. But dogs are different. They are used to jumping straight ahead instead of sideways. The small opening of the car door makes it very inconvenient for dogs to get in and out of the car, and they may even be reluctant to get in the car. Furthermore, some small dogs with fragile bones jump out of the car sideways, and their legs do not land normally. If you are not careful, they may fracture..

Hatchback tailgate

When traveling with a full load of passengers, larger dogs need to ride in the rear compartment. If it is a sealed trunk, it is equivalent to "confining" the dog, which is unbearable. Therefore, try to buy a hatchback tailgate. Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and MPVs have hatchback tailgates, which meets the requirements. Currently, there are many hatchback versions of sedans, so try to buy such models.

There should be more space in the front row

Many cars have extended wheelbases to take care of rear passengers. There is a specific term for buying this type of car: "rear-seat buyers." But in order to take care of your dog, you may need to move from the "back row" to the "front row" and become a "front row buyer" because most dogs like to sit in the front row. As the name suggests, "front-row buyers" are buyers who pursue control and driving comfort. The front-row seats must be large and thick, and the space must be spacious, not only for people, but also for "dogs".

Install a child safety lock

Dogs are very curious and love to play. When they see buttons and other objects, they can’t help but bite them twice to play with them. However, if they bite the car door while driving or bite the car window on the highway, it will cause serious harm to them. Not fun anymore. Therefore, child safety locks must be standard. Even if they are not available, you should install one yourself.

Stand-up medicine kit

When traveling to remote places, let alone pet hospitals, you can’t even buy regular dog food. Therefore, it is best to buy a medicine box. In addition to the medicines commonly used by people, it is also more suitable for dogs. As for the medicines that need to be equipped, it varies from dog to dog. It is worth mentioning that not only people can get motion sickness, but dogs can also get motion sickness. If you experience motion sickness, medicine will come in handy.

Pedestrian protection device

Families who raise dogs usually regard their dogs as members of the family. If they are hit by a car, they will feel very sad. Be considerate and when purchasing a vehicle, try to choose a model with pedestrian protection devices, especially the front bumper, preferably a collapsible type, which can minimize the damage to dogs in the event of a car accident.

Notes

For a family, cars are equally important as dogs, and there is no priority. It is irrational to change a car to accommodate a dog, or to buy a car without raising a dog. Dogs and carsThey can coexist peacefully, after all, they belong to different categories. But having said that, if you get a dog first and a car later, you still have to consider the dog factor to avoid regrets in the future.
