Traveling on the open road is always better with your pet. So, if you’re in the market for a new vehicle, be sure to select one that will please your pet as much as it pleases you!  Not all vehicles are pet-friendly, so it is important to keep the following features in mind when selecting a car for your pet’s safety and comfort.

Watching a dog enjoy a car ride is a true delight. His head is up, the wind is blowing through his fur, and there is an unmistakable look of pure happiness on his face. You can’t help but smile, because you know that feeling of unadulterated bliss.

But what is it about car rides that fills dogs with so much joy?

You may see it quite often as you're driving around town: dogs riding in the back of trucks. You might even know someone who does it. Why not? It seems so convenient to just load your dog up in the back and take them with you.
