Not really a surprise consider that we also run DogCars.com — thanks to Kim and Keith! — we have a more than passing interest in getting people to take their pets with them when they hit the road, and do it safely.
Seems everyone’s pretty interested in that now, especially car companies, who have figured out that pet-lovers are worth chasing. Point of fact: We caught Honda completely unaware in 2007 when we named their Element the first DogCars.com Best In Show DogCar of the Year.
Didn’t take them long to see the opportunity, though, and they’ve recently released a special Element with a package of dog-friendly options. Toyota jumped on it, too, aiming the Venza at dog-lovers.
Toyota and Honda: You’re welcome!
It’s not just the car companies, though: The after-market accessory folks are hot on the trail of canine travelers, too.
Our Dr. Marty Becker broke it all down this morning, with a “Good Morning America” segment on dog-friendly cars and all the latest in canine travel accessories. Check it out!
That’s awesome that you guys chose the Element as your first Best In Show DogCar of the year! I own an Element myself, and it truly is a great car for any dog-lover that likes to travel with their dogs.
