Make your car dog friendly with a Volvo pet-accessory pack

Practical accessories for pet owners

The right accessories make traveling with dogs easier. From protective grilles to load liners, here’s what every pet owner needs to keep their car clean and their dog comfortable.

Protective steel grille
A steel grille helps keep your pet safe by preventing luggage from shifting during sudden stops.

Load compartment divider
This divider lets you split the boot into two sections – great for multiple pets or keeping luggage separate from your dog.

Dog gate
To create dog-friendly car boots, features like a dog gate or load compartment divider can help make all the difference. These accessories help keep your pets secure during travel and make cars with big boots ideal for owners seeking space and safety.

Here’s how to make the most of your boot space with a dog gate:

Place your dog gate on either the right or left side of the boot (or get two if you have two dogs you want to keep separate). A dog gate helps keep your pet secure in the boot. It also prevents them from jumping out when you open it, giving you more control in busy areas.

Dog harness
If a crate isn’t an option, a dog harness is the next best thing. Secure it to the back seat to help create a safe ride. Available in four sizes, it can also double as a walking harness.

Load liner
Dogs bring dirt, mud and hair into your car. A load liner protects your boot from mess and is removable for easy cleaning. Choose a full-size liner or a half-size one if using a load compartment divider.

Pet bowl
We can all get thirsty during a long journey. Your pet is no exception. Make sure you bring a pet bowl to provide water during your breaks.

Pet blanket
Our pet blankets, which are both water and dirt repellant, help your pet stay warm and comfortable throughout the journey.

Dog leash
This one might seem obvious, but dog parents should remember to pack a dog leash to use when it's time for a break, or for when you've arrived at your destination.
