What Makes a Vehicle Dog-Friendly?

Like many Colorado Springs, CO drivers, your canine companion may be one of your favorite passengers. When shopping for a car, looking for the right dog-friendly features is a key part of keeping your pet safe and ensuring that your auto stands the tests of time. At Bob Penkhus Volvo Cars, we're committed to helping pet lovers find the automotive features and accessories that are essential for meeting these goals.

When you take your pet on road trips or other adventure rides, you'll probably need to load a lot of cargo in. Having sufficient space for keeping everything inside of the vehicle will give you the ability to haul food, toys, crates, and other essentials without to having install or manage a roof rack. Best of all, there will still be plenty of room for everyone to stretch out while on the road.

Look for vehicles that come with all-weather mats or be sure to upgrade your auto interior with these accessories. You might remember to wipe your feet before jumping back into the car after roaming about, but your pet will hardly do the same. Heavy-duty or all-weather floor mats will keep the original carpeting protected from dirt, mud, and anything else that finds its way onto your dog's paws.
