How to pet-proof your vehicle for your next road trip

Pet-proofing your vehicle tips

If you have a road trip coming up with plans on bringing along your pet, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Today we are going to give some tips on how you can pet-proof your vehicle for your next trip. Keep reading to learn how to do so.

How to prep your vehicle

Before you do anything, you will need to clean out your vehicle. Make sure there are no loose objects your pet will chew on. Vacuum up any dirt, food particles or other substances. All this will help you have a nice clean slate before you start adding more to your vehicle.

Items for your vehicle

The number one thing to get for your vehicle is a seat cover. This way you won’t get fur everywhere on the upholstery. Plus, if your pet makes a mess, the cleanup will be easier. Another suggestion is to invest in clear plastic wrap to put on your windows. This way you can still see out your windows and not have to worry about cleaning up nose prints later. To keep your vehicle smelling great, drop some essential oils on your seats to clean out any odors. Last but not least, have a secure spot for your pet so they do not move around everywhere. Use either a crate or have a harness attached to the seat belt.
