7 Ways to Pet Proof Your Car

OKEMOS, Mich. – Our pets are like family, so it's important to protect them like family when traveling in the car. Do you have any last minute road trips planned? No matter what size pet you have, there are many ways to keep them safe while you focus on the road. From covers to barriers we found these 7 ways to pet proof your car. Take a look at why these pet proofing tricks help protect your furry friend in the car!

Dog Barriers 

Dog Barriers are a great way to keep your larger pets contained in the back of your vehicle. The barriers help keep your animal from roaming free inside the cabin. With the use of a barrier, you can be focused on driving, and know your pet is protected and secure. 

Pet Covers

Not only do pet covers help keep your pet safe in the back seat, but they also keep your car clean. By using pet covers you can keep pet hair, wet paws, and drool off of your seats!

Front Seat Barriers

Front seat barriers are great to have for the pet that tries to get up front. These barriers fit between the two front seats, so your pet can enjoy the back seat without dangerously jumping up front. 

Window Gate 

Dogs love smelling outside the car window. However when you drive at fast speeds it can be dangerous for your dog to have their head out of the window. Window gates give your dog the open window freedom while keeping them safe inside the car.

Pet Safety Belt

Keep your pet safe with a seat belt. Many safety belts can easily be clipped to the seat belt in your car. They help your pet stay safe in the seat, keep them from roaming around the cabin, and help prevent injuries. 

Pet Car Seat

Car seats are perfect for smaller dogs. They allow your small friends to see out the window, while being safe in one spot. Pet car seats come in different shapes and sizes, so they can fit your pet perfectly.

Door Protectors

Door protectors can help prevent accidents with pets when they are roaming about the cabin of the car. They keep your pet from locking or unlocking the door, or accidentally opening a window. They are also a great way to prevent scratches or other damages to your interior.
