Driving with pets can be fun – both for you and them. But you don’t want to go anywhere without putting in some safety measures first. This guide goes over the benefits of adding Hyundai accessories and other things you can do to keep everybody safe.
Make Sure They’re Contained
At home, your pet may be eager to sit next to you – or on top of you – but that can be dangerous in the car. This is why you should use a carrier for smaller dogs and a crate for the larger ones, as this will prevent them from being tossed around. This will also keep them from roaming around and creating a distraction. Even a harness that attaches to a seatbelt can immediately improve safety.
Safeguard Your Upholstery
In addition to keeping your pet safe, you probably also want to shield your upholstery from dirt or slobber. You can do that with waterproof seat covers. All-weather floor mats are also a great way to trap foul substances that can get into your car.
Don’t Forget Important Items
For longer trips out on the road, it’s a good idea to pack a bag for your four-legged friend. This should include food, a dish or other container for water, and perhaps treats or toys. If your pet has a bed or a favorite blanket, be sure to bring that along as well; besides keeping them comfortable, the reassuring scent will keep them calm during the drive.
