We treat our four-legged friends as part of the family - so why should that be any different during road trips? When traveling with pets, especially during long drives, it's important to make sure that they are safe and comfortable. If your pet will be accompanying you on a road trip in the near future, read up on these tips to ensure their safety and protect your Nissan.
Before the drive: If you'll be in the car for a while, make sure your pet has been fed and walked to make sure he won't have any accidents inside your vehicle. If your pet is energetic or gets anxious during car rides, let them burn off some extra energy with a long walk or a game of fetch - it'll help them be calm during the drive. By doing these things before you depart, it'll make for a much smoother trip.
Prepare your vehicle: Does your dog shed? Does he have the tendency to move around inside your vehicle? Consider investing in accessories that can protect both your Nissan and your pet. Seat covers will keep your vehicle clean, and harnesses ensure your dog's safety. Depending on where you're going, also consider bringing towels and a water bowl.
During the trip: It should go without saying, but NEVER leave your dog in the car - especially in the middle of a hot Phoenix summer. If you'll need to leave your pet unattended in your vehicle for even a few minutes, it's probably for the best to leave him at home.
If you return from your road trip and find that your dog has left hair or mud behind, rest assured knowing the experts at Trophy Nissan can get your car back to looking like brand new! Schedule a wash or a full detail service on our website.
