If your dog travels with you regularly, it pays to kit out your car properly. A dog guard separates the boot from the passenger area, and a car seat cover catches hair, dirt and claw marks. Here you'll also find boot nets, window ventilation grilles, boot cushions, a car seat bag, a car safety harness and a folding dog ramp for easy getting in and out.
Restraints That Really Hold
Unsecured, your dog becomes a danger to itself and everyone else in the car in an accident or emergency stop. An adjustable dog guard between the back seat and the boot keeps larger dogs in the back, and a boot net is the lighter alternative. If your dog rides on the back seat, a car safety harness connected to the seat belt keeps it secure. Small dogs travel well in a car seat bag fastened with the belt. A collar is not suitable for buckling up, so always use a harness.
A Clean Car and Easy Access
A seat cover for the back seat or boot protects upholstery from wet fur and mud after a walk. Models with a bumper flap prevent scratches when your dog jumps in and out. A boot cushion makes the journey more comfortable for your dog. For large, heavy or older dogs, a dog ramp is a real help because it is gentle on the joints and saves you from lifting. Window ventilation grilles let fresh air in while you drive without your dog sticking its head out.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to restrain my dog in the car?
In the UK, the Highway Code says dogs must be suitably restrained so they cannot distract you or be injured if you stop quickly. How you do this, whether with a crate, dog guard or safety harness, is up to you. What matters is that it is secure.
How do I get dog hair out of my car?
The easiest way is to keep it off the upholstery in the first place: a seat cover catches most of the hair and can be shaken out or washed. For leftover hair in the fabric, a rubber glove or a lint brush helps. Brushing your dog regularly also reduces the amount of hair.
How do I teach my dog to use the ramp?
Lay the ramp flat on the ground first and let your dog walk over it with treats. Then increase the incline step by step until it walks confidently into the boot. A non-slip surface and calm guidance on the lead give it confidence.
Car Accessories for Journeys with Your Dog
With the right car accessories, your dog travels safely and your car stays clean. An adjustable dog guard or a boot net separates the luggage area from the passenger area. On the back seat, a car safety harness secures your dog to the seat belt, and small dogs travel in a car seat bag. Seat covers for the back seat and boot keep hair and dirt off the upholstery, and versions with a bumper flap protect the paintwork. A boot cushion adds comfort, while window ventilation grilles let in fresh air. For large and older dogs, a folding dog ramp makes getting in and out much easier. That way you arrive well secured and with a clean car, whether on the daily trip to the dog park, a visit to the vet or the long drive to your holiday with the whole family.
