Top SUVs for Dog Owners

There are a few key things you should be on the lookout for when you are trying to find something that is perfect for your four-legged best friend. Perhaps the most important aspect of a vehicle to consider is the size of what you are getting. Obviously, an SUV is going to have all of the space that you need, but you need to also be thinking about the size of your dog. If you own a large breed, then you may want to consider model like the Passport or the Pilot. These are SUVs that can provide more space, especially in the rear, for your pet. Though if you have a smaller pet, then a CR-V or HR-V might have exactly what you need. Other factors include the kind of upholstery you might want, as we would recommend that you avoid darker fabrics because they absorb more heat. You might also want something that is easy to clean, and won’t get scratched up by their claws. We highly recommend things like child safety locks, too, as sometimes your dog can accidentally press a button and open a window.

Now that you know what you should be considering in terms of features in your next ride, you may be wondering if it’s a good idea at all to bring your dog with you. Our opinion is that you deserve to have your entire family with you on your adventures, including your dog that we know you love more than anything else. When you have the right SUV from Honda, it will make everything that much simpler. You can get a power liftgate that allows for easy to access, and there are even additional accessories made just with pets in mind that you can add on. There is even space in these vehicles for a crate, or even a dog harness, so you can make sure that safety is still paramount, no matter where you are headed. The most important thing is that your family is together, and your dog is happy.

Honda understands that when it comes to your dog, you want something that can do a little of everything, while still looking stylish, and keeping everyone safe. Some of our great options include the CR-V and HR-V models, which are on the smaller size of things, so they could be great for smaller dogs that you have. They’ll provide you with excellent upholstery options, and safety tech that will keep you alert to what is happening at all times. We also highly recommend the Pilot and Passport SUVs, as they’re a little larger, and could give the extra space you need if you have a bigger dog and also a larger family in general. No matter which one stands out to you, we’ll be here to help.
