People aren’t the only ones whose ears perk up when they hear “Ride.” If your four-legged friends enjoy the road as much as you do, bringing them wherever you go is natural. However, making some simple preparations for your pets and having the right Chevy accessories on standby is essential.
Keep Things Covered
Even well-behaved pets can find car rides stressful. Their nervousness can lead to scratching and biting at the upholstery, so protecting your seats with seat covers will keep your car’s interior looking its best. It’s money well spent since they’re just as handy for safeguarding against dirt and damage if you have kids!
Make Sure They’re Secure
You don’t want your pets to be injured while you’re driving. A crate or carrier is the best way to do this, especially if they’re already crate-trained, but a harness that connects to the seatbelt is good for animals who actually enjoy the ride. It isn’t just for their safety; it will also prevent them from distracting you.
Don’t Forget the Essentials
If you’re going to the grocery store and back, you probably don’t need to bring much of anything for your trip. However, if you will be on the road for a while – perhaps headed towards a vacation spot – be sure to pack food and water for your pet and any medications they may need.
You don’t want to forget toys, bedding, and plastic waste bags. Also, remember that, like you, your pets need stops to stretch their legs and take a potty break!
