Keep Your Vehicle’s Interior Spotless with a Dog
For all the animal-lovers out there, having your canine-friend accompany you on road trips makes the experience so much greater for you and takes your dog on an adventure he/she is sure to find stimulating. But how do we deal with the mess that so often comes with our pets riding in our vehicle?
Consider this practical advice to have a safe, enjoyable ride with your pet while keeping your vehicle’s interior clean.
Seat Covers
Although this may not be the most aesthetically attractive option, seat covers prevent your seats from being covered in dog hair and from sharp nails tearing into your seat’s fabric.
Dog Crate
Dog crates are another option that impedes the spreading of fur and sharp claws from damaging your vehicle’s interior. Additional benefits of dog crates are:
- Prevents the animal from distracting the driver;
- And stops the dog from getting injured should a vehicular accident occur. In this scenario, a loose dog could be seriously injured or even ejected from the vehicle.
Clean-Up Kit for Accidents
Unfortunately, mishaps can happen. In the scenario that your pet takes a washroom break in the back of your SUV or vomits from motion-sickness, you’ll be happy that you have a clean-up kit in your vehicle. These can include paper towels, wet wipes, carpet cleaner and plastic bags.
Scent Fresheners and Cleaners
Sometimes your beloved pet can introduce an unwelcome odour to your vehicle. Upon returning home from your trip, take immediate action to keep your vehicle smelling fresh. This cleaning process includes:
- Vacuuming to remove excess hair and dander;
- Cleaning mats that were in your animal’s space;
- Washing any blankets and covers used to protect your seats.
