If you have an active lifestyle, chances are your pet does too. Whether you’re driving to the park, heading to a weekend getaway at the lake, or bringing your furry friend on a road trip, we’ve found a few must-haves for every pet on the go!

A family car needs to be safe and comfortable for every member of the family. You wouldn't put a child into the car without a car seat, or a teenager in without their headphones. You shouldn't put a dog in without the following:

1. Pet Car Seat Cover

You love traveling with your pets, but you don’t love the hair and dirt that can build up in the car. Protect your interior -- and your sanity -- with this handy car seat cover!

Specifically designed with dogs in mind, this seat cover is waterproof, scratchproof, shed-proof and drool-proof (we’re looking at you, St. Bernard owners of the world). It is made from easy-to-clean material, too. Simply hose the seat cover off every now and again and let it dry. Maintaining a tidy vehicle just got a whole lot easier!

2. Portable Dog Ramp

If your pooch is too large to comfortably lift into the car, consider a portable dog ramp. This foldable ramp is great for any breed and is especially helpful for older dogs who can’t jump in and out like they used to.

This ramp will not only ensure your pet enters and exits your vehicle safely, but it will also prevent those pesky nail marks on your bumper and running boards. A win-win!

3. Collapsible Travel Bowls

Collapsible bowls will be your best friend when you stop for a lunch break. Simply pull them out, pop them open, and fill with food and water!

Collapsible bowls are a durable, lightweight and space-saving option for driving or hiking with your canine companion.

4. Calming Treats

Is your pup notorious for throwing a travel tizzy? Help sooth them during car rides with these natural calming treats. We bet you’ll both be grateful!

5. Puzzle Toys

Long rides can get boring for your pooch. Help keep them entertained with interactive toys! Puzzle toys are a great option – you can place treats in them, and your dog will need to perform specific actions to release the tasty morsels. Trust us – this can fill hours with entertainment. Plus, an occupied pup is less likely to chew on the armrest!

At Hartje Tire & Service, we want all passengers in your car to be safe and comfortable, even the four-legged ones!
