Tips for Traveling With Your Pet

When you bring your furry friends along for a trip to the park in Grand Prairie or on a road trip outside of Texas, they’re likely to leave behind a bit of themselves, whether that is fur, slobber, or a hairball. Here are some tips on how to keep your Chevrolet SUV clean whenever your pet joins you for a ride.

Start with a clean cabin

Before you begin your efforts to pet-proof your car, spend an afternoon giving your vehicle a thorough cleaning, getting rid of dirt, fur, and dander. Lint rollers can help you remove all traces of your pet so that you can start fresh.

Put down heavy-duty floor mats

Floor mats made from durable, non-slip rubber are designed to catch liquids and any other spills or accidents. If your pet gets sick from car rides, or if they just tend to leave a mess with slobber, heavy-duty floor mats can protect your car’s carpet.

Use seat covers and stain-resistant fabric guard

Seat covers protect your seats from cat and dog hair and scratches. By covering your cloth or leather seats with seat covers, you can help prevent damage and remnants of dirt, hair, and water from affecting your cabin’s upholstery. Another way to protect your seats is by coating them with water- and stain-resistant fabric guards.

Make sure your car is ready for a road trip with your pet. Schedule a maintenance appointment at Graff Chevrolet in Grand Prairie, Texas.
