So many Americans rely on new Honda vehicles due to their reliability, efficiency, and affordability. Honda SUVs in particular - like the 2017 Honda CR-V and 2017 Honda Pilot offer especially accommodating cabins and cargo areas.

Your Dog: Your Best Friend. Your Loyal Companion. Your Co-Pilot.

Even if you don't drive a Honda Pilot (maybe you prefer the CR-V) you may still want to travel with your dog. What a great idea. But wait - with all the safety features we enjoy in modern vehicles, and with the amount of love we have for our pets, aren't we forgetting something? Pet safety. It's important.

How to Keep Your Dog Safe On-The-Road

When you travel with Fido, it's important to keep him or her properly restrained. There are many ways to help with this. Check out available dog "hammocks," or pet barriers that prevent your dog from climbing from the back seat into the front. Or, try a cargo divider that keeps your pet safely in the rear cargo area. You can also find seatbelt buckles that hook onto a dog's harness, keeping them safely retrained during emergency situations. (Just be sure to use a good harness that will not cause choking, and never use these with a collar alone!!)
