While exploring your options for a vehicle, it's not often that you take a moment to consider how your furry friend may enter into the equation. That's why we at Capitol Subaru want to discuss the efforts Subaru puts into making their vehicles a pet-friendly experience for them as well. Subaru has increasingly included designs geared towards the safety and well-being of man's best friend for many of their models. By actively incorporating these adaptations, Subaru aims to enhance the safety and well-being of your dog while hitting the road. The goal is to prioritize the security and contentment of every occupant in your vehicle, including the four-legged variety. Read on to explore all the substantial strides Subaru has made to create a pet-friendly driving experience so that your furry friend becomes a regular and happy passenger within your ride.
1. Above All, Safety Comes First
Even though furry friends may not come to mind when considering a Subaru vehicle, safety certainly will. With four IIHS Top Safety Pick Awards in 2024, Subaru proudly presents their dedication to ensuring the safety of their drivers and passengers, which is more than their competitors Ford, Nissan, and Chevrolet combined. You can depend on your Subaru for its safety and reliability, and enjoy the comfort of extra peace of mind when hitting the road. And don't hesitate to take advantage of all Subaru's safety features such as the Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and the STARLINK Safety and Security which also provides protection to all who ride in your vehicle, two- or four-legged.
2. Accessorizing Your Vehicle
Innovative solutions by Subaru include custom-designed kennels that fit snugly into your car, which eliminates any shifting while driving. Furthermore, these kennels have a collapsing design so that it has the flexibility to offer additional space when more cargo room is needed. More accessories presented by Subaru's pet accessories lineup are specially crafted seat covers that combat pet hair and offer protection against water and dirt, a specially designed pet harness, and a cargo pet ramp for easy entry and exit of your vehicle. Visit our online pet accessory store to discover our full collection of products designed to enhance the experience of your furry friend.
3. No Matter How Big or Small
Let your fluffy companion experience the joy of traveling together with you no matter if they are a cuddly Yorkie, an energetic Corgi, or a majestic Bernese Mountain Dog. If you are a dog owner with middle-sized furry friends, they may prefer a spacious ride like the Subaru Ascent for room to roam. Compact pals might enjoy the comfort of the WRX or the nimble BRZ as satisfying options. Not to overlook the more generous breeds like Huskies or Great Danes, the Subaru Forester and Outback offer open storage spaces that provide a perfect vantage while traveling around town.
4. Pet Loving Reputation
Subaru actively contributes to dog-friendly research and extends support to ASPCA through donations while also passionately engaging in National Make a Dog's Day by sponsoring underdogs who need to find their forever home. These are all tied to the Subaru Love Promise, which specifies Pets as one of the core pillars of this promise. By recognizing the importance of dogs in our everyday lives, Subaru strives to make a positive impact for all pet owners, and devotes time and resources to the overall well-being and care of your entire family.
5. Past Actions Prove the Facts
Subaru collaborates with pet-friendly partnerships such as with the Center For Pet Safety, and has provided sponsorship towards dedicated crash-test safety studies that focus on the well-being of your four-legged companion. In addition to these demonstrations of commitment, Subaru has contributed over $30 million to the ASPCA and supported various animal welfare initiatives including the rescue of 74,000 animals across America. Such unwavering demonstration towards community improvements is just another example of why so many families choose Subaru time and time again.
