The Best Toyota Vehicles for Dogs

What makes a car good for dogs?

There are many different features that help make a car the best option for dogs. For starters, the Toyota’s interior should be plenty spacious and flexible, including with a roomy cargo area or fold-flat rear seats in a smaller SUV or sedan, while adding tie-down points in the cargo area can allow you to secure your dog during every drive. Making sure your car’s interior is durable is also important, so you should steer clear of leather interiors, even with seat covers, because there’s a high chance of your dog’s nails scratching the seats.

Look for a new Toyota with SofTex-trimmed seating surfaces as they are more durable and easy to clean, and it’s also a good idea to make sure your car has rear-zone climate controls to keep your pet comfortable, regardless of weather. Having a Toyota that’s lower to the ground is recommended to ensure your dog can jump into the car themselves, especially if you have a bigger dog that you’re unable to lift. Be sure to choose something with a hatchback-style or a rear cargo door that opens wide enough to let your dog in.
