In our previous posts we covered the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/best-cars-for-dogs-subaru-outback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Subaru Outback (opens in a new tab)\">Subaru Outback<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/?p=2452&amp;preview=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nissan Rogue (opens in a new tab)\">Nissan Rogue<\/a> &#8211; check them out on The Travall Life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for a luxury SUV that\u2019s great for carrying four-legged cargo and looks awesome there are many options. Read on to find out why we think the Q8 is a serious contender for one of the best luxury SUVs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Launching in 2006, the Q-line has since been well-received by drivers seeking a perfect mix of luxury, style and utility. As Audi\u2019s answer to the Mercedes GLE and BMW X6, the Q8 is a great all-rounder SUV. The all-wheel-drive has a whole bunch of useful features, resulting in a vehicle that is comfortable both on and off road. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Why is the Audi Q8 one of the best cars for dogs?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We get the impression that Audi put dog owners front and centre when they designed the Q8. It\u2019s a vehicle that\u2019s sure to put a smile on any dogowner\u2019s face and have your dog\u2019s tail wagging. Our favorite is the car\u2019s ability to lower the trunk height by approximately 2.5 inches using its air suspension. This is great for smaller or older dogs who might need a little help when it comes to making the jump up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Q8 also has a generous 205-liter trunk space, which is a fraction less than you\u2019d find in the Q7. However, we\u2019re more than happy to forgive that in favor of it\u2019s attractive sloping roofline. Besides, if you find yourself struggling for room in the trunk, the Travall Guard is a simple, yet stylish solution. This premium pet barrier and luggage guard allows for luggage to be stacked higher against the rear seats and is available for around half the price of dealership options.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We should also mention the cabin refinement which, as you\u2019ve come to expect from the German automaker, is outstanding. This is great if you\u2019ve got a nervous dog on board, who will find it easier to relax in a quieter environment, allowing you to focus on the road ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Accessories to consider<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re going to be driving with your dog, it makes sense that you\u2019d want to protect the Q8\u2019s luxurious interior. This is where Travall\u2019s range of stylish accessories, designed specifically for the Q8, comes in.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"309\" height=\"309\" class=\"wp-image-2476\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Guard.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Guard.jpg 309w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Guard-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Guard-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Guard-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 309px) 100vw, 309px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Travall Guard for Audi Q8<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.com\/products\/travall-guard.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Travall Guard (opens in a new tab)\">Travall Guard<\/a> prevents any dog-induced damage to the rest of the vehicle as it stops your pet from escaping over the back seats. Unlike universal guards, it guarantees a hassle-free installation, with no rattling or the need for vehicle modifications. It will also look right at home in the Q8&#8217;s stunning interior, due to the subtle grey, bite-resistant powder coating and premium steel construction.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mats-1-1024x817.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"328\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mats-1-1024x817.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mats-1-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mats-1-768x613.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mats-1-1536x1226.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mats-1-2048x1634.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.com\/products\/travall-mats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Travall Mats (opens in a new tab)\">Travall Mats<\/a> are another great accessory for the Audi Q8.

Like all Travall products, the all-weather mats are vehicle-specific, so are uniquely contoured to fit the Q8\u2019s footwells. They also feature a raised outer lip to contain water, mud, snow and whatever else your boots might pick up in the dog park.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZwvLD-bjV6w&amp;feature=youtu.be<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third entry in our best cars for dogs series, we\u2019re taking a look at the latest and greatest in Audi\u2019s Q-line, the Q8.
