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.

With the summer months upon us, we are at the height of pet travel. With most pets traveling by car, it's time for a reminder about the dangers of leaving your pet in a parked car. The temperature inside a car can skyrocket after just a few minutes. Parking in the shade or leaving the windows cracked does very little to alleviate this pressure cooker.

For most pups, the best part of a car ride is feeling the breeze in their furry faces as they stick their head out the window. Despite the feel-good nature of this pleasurable experience, it's actually a dangerous habit.
