Dealing With a Dirty Dog in Your Car Protecting your car from the attention of your dirty dog can not only save on the wear and tear of your car but also save you a horrible job later.
There are several ways that you can do this, for example a machine washable boot base or a heavy duty waterproof back seat cover that also contains your dog in the back.
Or if you prefer there is also a front seat cover in a universal fitting that is fully washable.
To prevent those scratches and muddy paw marks to your rear bumper when your dog jumps in and out, there is a complete Boot and Bumper Protector.
This is an all in one rear of car protector that is easy to fit, hard wearing, and will fit most cars.
Strap Your Dog in the Car Seat We have to wear a safety belt so its only right that we also have the safety of our dog in mind while travelling.
There are several ways that dog safety can be achieved and it is up to the individual and their dog as to which one they feel more comfortable in using.
You can check out the different types of dog harness and decide on which sort you think that your dog would be happy with.
Either way you're sure to find something that suits your needs from the great range at Love Pets.
Safeguard Your Dog in the Car Think dog safety in your car, and if your dog is used to being loose in the boot, then for safety you can purchase a cargo guard to prevent them from jumping over into the front and possibly causing an accident.
The cargo guard keeps them safe and contained in the boot and fits most 3 and 5 door cars, is easy to install and requires no tools to do the job.
Maybe your dog would feel less stressed and safer if you kept them in a more contained environment, then the RAC slanted fold flat dog carrier would probably make the perfect solution.
It has a sloping front door and a side door, making it ideal for travelling in hatchbacks.
It can be flat-packed for storing away when not in use.
The Can't Do Without Dog Stuff Safety out of the way, now for the essentials and the incidentals, that can also be indispensable.
Dog travel water bowls are a necessary item and there are various kinds to choose from, a good idea for example is the RAC dog food and watercarrier with a carrying handle that opens up into two food bowls complete with water canteen included.
Or a 25oz stainless steel water bottle in eight vibrant stylish colours, this smart and durable bottle comes complete with a lid designed with the natural drinking style of thirsty pooch.
A matching neoprene sling to carry the bottle for extra convenience, can be purchased separately.
There are many other types of differing designs that work in a similar manner.
You can also get collapsible water bowls, non-spill water bowls and foldable water bowls, each of which are a good idea and it just depends on your preference and your requirements.
Don't forget a travel hygiene bag that holds retractable lead, dog wet wipes, keys, identification, poo bags and more.
Also for when you need to get some air into the car but you don't want the danger of them jumping out of the window, an easy, no tools required, window guard that keeps your dog safe while ventilating the car with fresh cool air.
If you think ahead by implementing these tips, then your trip will go smoothly and be enjoyed by both yourselves and your furry friend.
Remember their toys and treats!
