Dog Car Barriers

Dog Car Barriers

Whether you’re bringing your canine friend along on a road trip or taking a short drive to the veterinarian, a dog car barrier can be quite useful. The main purpose of the car divider is to keep your dog in the back seat while also prohibiting them from poking their head between the two front seats and distracting the driver. You’ll also need to ensure your pet is properly secured. Sudden stops and turns can startle—and even injure—an unrestrained pet. Of course you want to give your pet all the love and attention they deserve, but once you’re in the car, you need to be able to focus on the road and traffic.

There are several different styles of dog barriers to choose from, from bars to mesh screens. We even sell cozy hammocks to help keep your pup comfortable and secure. One nice thing about using a car divider instead of a plastic crate, is that you’ll have a clear view of your tail-wagging buddy in the back. Help them stay in place with a car harness or seat belt. For long-distance car rides, you’ll want to take some extra steps to make sure your pup stays comfortable. We recommend padded booster seats and quilted seat covers. And lastly, if your pup needs a bit of assistance entering and exiting the vehicle, check out our steps and ramps. Petco has you covered with all the right products for traveling with your pooch.
