Over the last few years there have been a few concept cars produced designed to be the dream pet-friendly car for dog owners. The recent Nissan X-trail 4 Dogs springs to mind with its plethora of features, all intended to make it easy to travel with your pup on board. From a system to wash and dry your dog, an integrated ramp, a dog guard and many other options it seems that the comfort of the dog and keeping the vehicle in good condition have all been considered by the Nissan designers. Fortunately, you don’t need to purchase a concept car to get helpful features in your own vehicle. We detail 5 items of factory original quality that you can install yourself to give you the dream pet-friendly car you’ve been thinking about, all at an affordable price.
The perfect fit dog guard for the dream pet-friendly car
The X-trail 4 Dogs comes with a dog guard that is available for other X-trail owners to purchase too. Why not fit an OEM quality dog guard in your own vehicle by installing a Travall Guard for the make and model of vehicle you drive? Travall Guards are factory original quality, so you know you’re getting the best, but at a fraction of the dealership prices. They are also designed for each specific make and model of vehicle to ensure an absolutely perfect fit. This means your dog won’t be disturbed by a rattling dog guard and you’ll be able to relax knowing that your dog is positioned securely in the car.
Organise your load with a boot divider
The addition of a Travall Divider in your car would place yours above the X-trail 4 Dogs as it is not offered in that concept vehicle. This vehicle-specific boot divider allows you to transport your dog and your gear in separate sections of the boot. Or allows you to transport two dogs, giving them each a comfortable space of their own.
Deter a leaping dog with a tailgate barrier
Another great vehicle addition for dog owners is the all-new Travall TailGate. This tailgate barrier is used in conjunction with the Travall Guard and Divider. It acts as a deterrent to stop your dog leaping out of the boot as soon as you open the lid. Choose either a single barrier or a double barrier for those with more than one dog.
Protect your boot’s interior with a cargo mat
A quilted, leather-lined boot may look luxurious in the concept car, but certainly doesn’t give you the practicality that you need when travelling with a dog on board. The Travall CargoMat is a boot liner that perfectly fits the contours of your vehicle. Its lipped edge keeps dirt, debris and liquids on the liner and away from your boot’s interior. It offers super easy clean up after muddy walks and gives your boot that neat and tidy appearance you’ve been looking for.
Say goodbye to claw-scratched paintwork with a bumper protector
The Travall Protector really comes into its own in the battle against dog claw scratches on the rear upper bumper. Made of tough ABS plastic, you can be sure that scrapes and scuffs will become a thing of the past. Easy to install at home, your friends won’t believe it wasn’t a factory fit.
