Car rides can be stressful for dogs — unless you’re prepared. With the right gear and a few simple habits, you can make travel safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable for both of you.

1. Use a Backseat Extender for Large Breeds

A hard-bottom extender like the KRODEX Backseat Extender creates a flat surface across your car's backseat and footwell, giving your dog more room to relax and less chance of slipping.

2. Keep Essentials Within Reach

Built-in storage pockets on your seat cover are perfect for storing leashes, treats, toys, and waste bags — making everything easily accessible during your trip.

3. Choose Breathable, Protective Materials

Look for covers with a mesh window to provide airflow and allow visual contact with your dog. This reduces anxiety and keeps them cool.

4. Prevent Sliding with Anti-Slip Base

Slippery surfaces cause dogs to feel unsafe and uneasy. Anti-slip rubber mesh on the bottom of your dog seat cover is essential for stability.

5. Always Use a Dog Seatbelt

A safety belt designed for dogs prevents sudden movements during sharp turns or braking. It’s a must for longer trips.
