\"Dog<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is your car pet-ready? These are our must haves for travelling with your dog\u00a0writes Suzanne Keane\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wheelsforwomen.ie will be welcoming a new team member in a few weeks \u2013 this four legged furry reviewer is mostly interested in how the boot carpet smells and how chewable the plastics are. In anticipation of this new arrival we’ve been researching how exactly to \u201cpuppy proof\u201d a car!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Boot Liner<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As someone who is quite car proud the last thing I want is for dog hair and muddy paw prints to destroy the boot carpet \u2013 A tailored lining is best and make sure there\u2019s a high lip around the outside to catch any nasty spills! If you\u2019re dealing with wet and dirty pooches regularly you can invest in a liner that has full height sides to cover the entire boot.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Bumper protector<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      An ideal add on to a tailored boot liner the bumper protector will ensure your bumper doesn\u2019t get scratched\/damaged when Rover is climbing in and out.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Dog Guard<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you\u2019ve got a hatchback or estate the boot is the ideal place for your dog to travel. Just pop out the parcel shelf and you\u2019ll be able to keep an eye on them from inside the car. To make sure the dog can\u2019t climb into the back seat you\u2019ll need to invest in a dog guard \u2013 these are usually adjustable with telescopic legs to make them fit perfectly or speak to your dealer about a dog guard tailored to your car.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Harness\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If your furry friend is going to travel in the back seat rather than the boot you can invest in a harness to keep them safe in the event of a collision and to stop them from running around the car and being a distraction. These harnesses normally hook onto the seatbelts and make sure to buy the right harness for your dog\u2019s size<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Carrier<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If your dog is very small they may be more comfortable travelling in a carrier\/crate. Just line it with their favourite blanket and make sure it\u2019s fixed in place and can\u2019t move around.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            If you\u2019re travelling long distance with your pet it\u2019s important to ensure they get regular water\/walk breaks to avoid stress and never leave them unattended in the car. Always remember safety first and it\u2019s important your dog is comfortable as well as safe on the road!!<\/em><\/p>\n
