National Dog Day with Autotrader

Our favorite holiday is here! National Dog Day is August 26th, and we plan to celebrate the best way we know how: Adventuring!
Getting on the road to explore your town, state, or country with your favorite furry companion creates the best memories and the most entertaining stories… we promise! Whether you are adventuring this summer or into fall, Autotrader knows exactly what you need for your next road trip because they love adventuring with dogs, too!
Road Trips with Your Dog
Having the right vehicle for your upcoming dog-friendly road trip is essential! As we all know, it is essential that your dog is comfortable and safe in your car, whether it be a short drive or multi-hour road trips, they should be able to rest easy from destination to destination. Our car is equipped with a few plush dog beds for the trio to lay comfortably on. This is especially important as they get older. We also always pack plenty of water, treats for a mid-ride snack, and even something tasty to chew on during pit stops.
You may also want to consider your next adventure vehicle to have up-to-date safety features that have pets in mind. Dogs that are loose in a car can cause some chaos and lead to a distracted driver, so finding a car that can allow having dogs safely in the back seat and away from the airbag deployment is essential!
Find your Dog’s New Ride
When you’re looking for the right road-tripping vehicle for you and your dog, look for features that will benefit your pooch. Here are some questions to think about during your search on Autotrader:
Is it easy for my dog to get in and out of?
Are there places to attach a crash-tested harness? Or places to anchor a crate?
Is the upholstery appropriate for my dog’s needs? And for the wear and tear that comes with our four-legged friends.
Are the windows tinted to keep the sun from beating down?
Are there enough air vents to keep my dog cool?
If I have big dogs, is there enough space for them to be comfortable?
With these questions in mind, you’ll be sure to find the right fit on Autotrader, as they provide fantastic suggestions to get you on the right track!
Need an Adventure Companion?
Many of us may have an already established loyal companion to travel with or even a newly rescued pup that has joined the pack, but for those who are looking for the perfect road-trip companion, Autotrader can help with that too!
