We all love our pets. After all, they are members of our family, and we want them to be a part of our lives as much as possible. So, that means we want to include them in our adventures on the road, too.
But without the right gear, this is much easier said than done.
I would know. My husband and I love the outdoorsy lifestyle – weekend hiking trails in summer and fall, trips to the lake house and beach, and winters snowboarding and skiing. Sometimes, it feels like we live in our SUV and are out on the road more than we are at home.
The problem was our car was slowly getting destroyed. I have a 5 yr old Border Collie mix, Bella and a 3 yr old Golden Retriever, Roxie. And our furry friends always come with us on our road trips. For years, we would use backseats and canvas covers made out of cheap quality materials like polyester and the dogs would bring in mud, sand, snow, dirt – you name it.
Traditional car seats and crates on the market for two big dogs just didn’t cut it. They weren’t comfortable with insufficient space to move around freely and didn’t help solve the problem of contending with the dirt and grime the dogs brought along with them. And trying to clean them? Such a time-consuming ordeal.
We tried other options as well, from towels and blankets to canvas covers you can find in different pet stores and online marketplaces. Nothing worked.
We had exhausted our options it seemed – and were EXHAUSTED OURSELVES (after all, taking care of 2 big pups…and the mess they leave behind in your vehicles is no joke.)
That is, until we finally found Car Pet. A friend of mine actually turned me on to the brand. And at first, when I looked at the product on the site, I honestly didn’t get it. It seemed too simple and too good to be true.
Car Pet is literally a carpeted backseat for dogs, yes, but it’s also so much more.
It first comes down to the unique material Car Pet is made from, a luxuriously soft carpet material that is plush to the touch with a non-slip design so it is ultra comfy and safe for your furry friends.
It also offers the ultimate in function and flexibility, making it the perfect solution to live up to the demands of everyday life and the mess that comes with 2 big dogs.
Its highly absorbent material is moisture and dirt-wicking. This means that it can hold onto dirt, sand, snow, and spills from liquids – whatever the pups got into that day.
Unlike traditional dog seats, cages, or crates that are a pain to clean, I can easily toss my Car Pet into the wash, and it is good as new.
Even better, unlike standard carpet material whhich includes plastic on the bottom making them dangerous to use in the hotter months, Car Pet features heat and weather-resistant backing. So, it is perfect to use no matter the season!
I love how as it is one large surface material, it easily adapts to and accommodates my larger-sized dogs. Plus, any excess material can easily be folded down to accommodate other passengers.
And the elegant material of Car Pet gives our car a nice, aesthetic touch – so much better than canvas sheets that were an eyesore and not to mention, uncomfortable.
Simply put, Car Pet makes for a superior experience for all – dogs and humans alike!
I am so happy I switched to Car Pet and saved my car and sanity in the process. If you are struggling with taking your dogs on the road with you without letting your car get destroyed, you should try Car Pet, too!
