Along for the Ride in Safety and Style

No road trip or day out is truly complete without the family fur baby, and if they’re along for the ride, they should be prepared and protected. In honor of National Pet Parents Day, Valley Hi Toyota would like to offer some tips and Kurgo® pet accessories to make sure your furry precious cargo can be happily and safely along for the ride.

Better Safe Than Sorry

It can be tempting to keep your dog up front with you, but it’s not always the safest option, especially when they want to sit in your lap. It feels great to have them close, but it’s more important that everyone is safe. To help secure that backseat boundary, there is a Kurgo® Backseat Barrier. The barrier attaches to the backs of the front seats to help keep them where they belong, but rest assured that the mesh top allows you to keep each other within viewing distance. For a little extra security, there is the Kurgo® Heather Booster Seat for your pet to stay tethered in while still being able to keep a lookout during the ride. The booster seat installs easily, collapses for convenient storage, and the integrated tether can be attached to the dog’s harness to be used with a vehicle seatbelt.

How We Love Them

Oh how we love them, and, oh how they can make a mess of the backseat. For busy paws, perma-teethers, and the never-ending shedding, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Secure your backseat from damage with the Kurgo® Wander Bench Seat Cover. The cover is designed to keep your seats from harm, and with the cargo or hammock product options, you can protect your vehicle interior from hair, dander, dirt, and other grimy unintended gifts from your furry friends. While built to last, the seat cover is surprisingly simple to install with top, middle, rear, and under-seat attachments to help keep it from slipping off. Not to mention, the handy pockets are absolutely perfect for storing treats and toys.

Staying Healthy and Hydrated

As we know, a road trip is never complete without snacks and refreshments. With this in mind, we have made sure that the Toyota pet products include a few options to keep your four-legged passengers hydrated and fed without crowding the car. Aptly named, The Collaps a Bowl’s compact design makes it easy to fit in vehicle storage compartments (or anywhere else that’s handy) and holds 24 ounces of water or food. For solid-food nibbles, there’s the Collaps a Bowl Kibble Carrier to hold pet treats and snacks. For even more compact convenience, The Kurgo® Gourd Water Bottle and Bowl are perfect for day trips, hikes, or packing light. The top slides open and has a plastic cup that snaps onto the bottom, creating a mechanism that owners and pets can use so that everybody can stay happy and hydrated.

The Destination Ahead

Sometimes the hassle can get in the way of the fun and at Valley Hi Toyota, we’re committed to making your ride stress-free so you and your beloved buddies need only worry about the destination ahead. With the proper pet accessories for comfort and security, the next road trip can be easier — and mess-free, so there’s no need to leave furry companions at home. With ease in mind, we wish you and your fur babies safe and happy travels.
