Dog Car Carriers - Important Considerations For Dog Lovers

Dog car carriers and dog car seats provide your dog with a safe and secure place within your car while travelling, and will limit your pet from wandering about inside your car which can be dangerous for both you and your dog. If you are travelling with a child you would not consider driving without the child being securely strapped in. Why then do some dog owners not give the same consideration to their pets?
When choosing dog car seats there are a few important things you need to consider:

* You should make sure that the seat comes with built in storage trays for treats, toys, food and water.
* The cover of the seat should be easily removable for washing. Don't forget that it is likely you may return to your vehicle after your dog has been wet and as you are no doubt well aware, the smell of wet dog is difficult to remove.
* Try to ensure that the seat is easily removed from the car and has the ability to double as a bed for use in a hotel room. This means that the one product will suffice and you will not have to carry with you a separate bed and car seat.
* Many dog car seats on the market nowadays are made from material that repels pet hair, dirt and moisture and it makes sense to try to buy one that is made from that particular material.
* Dog car carriers also come in a more enclosed fashion similar to a small crate.
* With these type of dog car carriers your pet is completely enclosed and you should ensure that the carrier includes trays for treats, water and food.
* These are great for small dogs and should have two access points, one to put your hand in hand to comfort your pet and a larger one to easily let your dog in and out.
* These auto pet carriers tend to come with a click and go base for easy access, so that each time you need to remove or put your carrier into the car it is a simple operation.

With the vast array of dog car carriers on the market now there is no need any more to suffer from separation anxiety when you can bring your most beloved companion with you on your trips knowing that he will be safe in your car and not cause himself or you any harm.
