The trouble is, that although I love them both, the two aren\u2019t always that lovely together. I admit that in certain areas of my life I can be a bit of a neat freak &#8211; the car is one of those areas. So for quite a while I&#8217;d be looking for ways to keep my car clean and tidy yet have my dog with me too. If you&#8217;ve also been looking for fail-safe ways to dog proof your car, read on!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>My dog keeps me grounded. He\u2019s the one member of my family who always seems pleased to see me when I get home from work. He\u2019s the one that brings my blood pressure back to normal levels during stressful times. He&#8217;s very often the one who makes me laugh. So naturally I like him to come with me whenever possible. My car gives me joy in a very different way. It&#8217;s my Goldilocks car &#8211; not too big, not too small, but just right. It has transported me to some wonderful places with memories that I treasure. Fortunately I\u2019ve found some simple additions to the car, that keep it as clean and pristine as it can possibly be with a dog on board who tends to shed and drool. Importantly, they help to give my pawsome friend a comfortable ride too.<\/p>\r\n<h2>A dog guard designed for the vehicle you drive<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The first essential to dog proof your car in my book is unquestionably a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.co.uk\/dog-guard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Travall Guard (opens in a new tab)\">Travall Guard<\/a>. \u00a0With this dog guard in position there\u2019s no chance of my dog climbing over the seats in the car, leaving hair, mud and wet paw prints on the upholstery. \u00a0My dog is securely positioned at the rear of the vehicle &#8211; so he is comfortable and so are my other passengers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_7542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7542\" style=\"width: 1376px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7542\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Dog-in-car-with-TDG-installed.jpg\" alt=\"dog proof your car\" width=\"1376\" height=\"1032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Dog-in-car-with-TDG-installed.jpg 1376w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Dog-in-car-with-TDG-installed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Dog-in-car-with-TDG-installed-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Dog-in-car-with-TDG-installed-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dog securely positioned in the car with the perfect-fit dog guard from Travall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>A cargo mat that fits the contours of your boot<\/h2>\r\n<p>The second must-have item is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.co.uk\/boot-mat-liner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Travall Liner (opens in a new tab)\">Travall CargoMat<\/a>. \u00a0With my dog at the rear of the vehicle, I don\u2019t particularly want to be vacuuming the boot after every trip. \u00a0Adding the rubber boot liner has made life simple.
