18 Things From Amazon For Dogs Who Love Going For A Drive

Top picks for your favorite ride-or-die dog.

1. A waterproof backseat protector that'll make sure your SUV is protected against your furry friend's runny nose, dirty paws and nails that can scratch or damage your seats.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Should have bought one of these a long time ago. Cuts down on all the dog hair I had to clean up after a day at the park. I think Roxy likes it too." —Dave Heeter

Price: $26.96

2. A booster seat so your dog will be able to see out the window while they ride and it'll keep them safe.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I would give this 10 stars. My dog max usually cries in the car because he can't see and he gets bored. So I installed the booster seat today and immediately took him for a car ride he was so good. He loved it, could see outside, was comfortable, and, most important of all, I felt like he was safe in case of an accident. I couldn't believe the quality of the product for the price I did add a little pillow to the inside because my Max is still so small and I want him to be able to see as much as possible while still being safe. This car seat booster is Max approved. He is 4 pounds." —Leah

Price: $26.99 (available in five colors)

3. A mesh barrier to keep your dog from climbing into the driver's seat that still lets them see all the up front action.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Great product for keeping my dog in the backseat, which is great for everyone’s safety! I don’t have a large dog so I can’t say if it will work for a large dog, but worked great for my small/ medium sized dog. It's a great product and folds up real small for easy storage, fits right into glove compartment or middle console." —Dawn*G

Price: $13.80

4. A seat belt strap for when your dog needs to be buckled in when you go for a drive. It hooks over a headrest and to your dog's harness to comfortably restrain them.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Love this safety strap for our 7-year-old pom mix. He is safe whether he rides in the back seat (see picture) or in the front seat. He can lay down, look out the window or sit over toward the middle of the back seat. The strap is easy to adjust and even easier to hook around the head rest, whether it is the front or the back seat. We hook the strap to the harness we use to walk our little one; I would not use this — or any other safety strap — with a regular collar. The strap is made of heavy duty material and, since our dog is not a chewer, we expect it will last a long time. Highly recommended. Easy 5 stars." —EM

Price: $10.99+ (available in 14 colors)

5. A car harness you can attach by feeding it through your seatbelt, because it's been crash tested and will help keep your dog safe. Make sure you get the right size for your dog for maximum safety benefits.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a great safety harness. Very easy to put on a wiggly 50 pound bulldog. Ordered an XL size because he is still a pup and growing. Good heavy construction and the handles on top help a great deal when lifting in a car." —JABH, St. Louis

Price: $115 (available in sizes S-L)

6. A folding travel crate with straps and a fleece mat that'll give your dog a comfy place to stay while you're on-the-go. It's got three mesh windows so your dog can get plenty of sunlight and fresh air.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Easy to assemble and disassemble. Good quality and strong zippers. I use them to transport my three Shetland sheepdogs in my Subaru Outback. They love them and are very comfortable." —Donna Rayner

Price: $51.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors)

7. A licking bowl so any dog who gets a little too excited on the road will have this to distract them. Just put some peanut butter in it, use the suction cups to stick it to the window, and let your dog do some snacking while you drive.

Amazon

Promising review: "One of my dogs gets really anxious when we go out so I've been looking for something to keep her calm. Spreading some peanut butter in the bowl when we leave takes her focus off us and keeps her calm. Works great!" —Matt

Price: $8.99

8. A portable ramp for any dog who needs some help getting into the car. It's lightweight and folds so you can easily store it in your trunk or closet.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This ramp exceeded my expectations. I have a 13-year-old dog with a recent shoulder injury and even though she's only 38 pounds, she hates being lifted which makes it that much harder. I have a two door Jeep Wrangler and since most of the reviews on this product are for SUVs, I had no idea how/if this would work. It's absolutely, perfectly awesome and she took to it within a few minutes of guiding her with her leash. The no-slip tread insures sure footing and instills confidence. It's lightweight, folds in half, and easily fits inside the tailgate behind the backseat. Love, love, love this product!!!" —CarolAnne

Price: $69.95

9. A carrier and carseat to make transporting your pet easier. It's great for any dogs who prefer to be carried.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Oh man, is this an amazing pet car seat! I’ve been looking for YEARS for something just like this. I was even considering building my own from scratch. My poodle is now almost 14 and my pup is 10 months. They are 7 and 5 pounds and they fit perfectly in it. I feel so much better knowing they’ll be safer in the car. I may even buy a second so they both have car seats of their own. It’s sturdy, very roomy, and the top is PERFECT and why I bought it. My poodle hates carriers because he’s tall for his size and hates things touching his head. This has another 5 inches above his head. I’m just so happy with this! Seriously buy it! Tiny tiny con: the smell of the netting, which I’m sure will fade in a day or two. Going to set it outside to air out for a bit." —Amazon customer

Price: $39.95 (available in two styles and five colors)

10. A pair of waterproof door protectors because they'll make sure your doors don't get dinged up and drooled on.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered these because my dogs like to drool down the door as they look outside. I won't be using the Velcro since this is a leased car. It is easy to use the plastic that slides into the window slot. I believe this will work perfectly. It is a good addition to the seat cover that I just ordered also." —T.P.

Price: $17.89 (available in three colors)

11. A cargo liner that'll keep fur from getting everywhere in the back area of your car while you cruise.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a great product. I have a 2017 Toyota RAV4 and this fits in the back and covers the entire area. I use it with the middle seats down because I have two Great Danes to fit in the back! It clips on the headrests and is long enough to pull out the back to cover the bumper when they jump in/out. I just tuck that part (4 inches?) up and into the car once I am closing the door. I haven’t washed it yet but am glad that it is to take out and be washed." —Deborah

Price: $35.99

12. A metal barrier so your dog can stay where they're supposed to and you can still see them from the rear-view mirror.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Very happy with this product, I was expecting it to be cheap and flimsy, I was already planing to customize it to make it work. I have a older Jeep Cherokee so it’s really big in the back. This pet separator works great, the only thing is I wish I came with one more bar. Other than that it’s worth buying, I’ll be getting more of these for my other vehicles." —Amazon customer

Price: $54.95

13. A bumper protector for guarding against scratches when your dog is hopping in and out of the car.

Amazon

Promising review: "Best investment ever. I got it to protect back end of my car when dogs jump in and out. This prevents scratches from their nails (I have large dogs). Also, it keeps all the dog mess contained...dirt, hair, etc." —S. Fuller-Benge

Price: $24.99

14. A set of stairs to help your dog get in and out of the car with ease.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I was very surprised at the quality of these steps. They are much more that I expected and my two 50+ lb. dogs love them. They protect the paint on my vehicles and seats. One of my dogs was injured last year and has problems getting into vehicles, but not with these steps. He walks right up them and then comes down. I no longer have to lift him. I would recommend them to friends and family." —Sujgirl

Price: $73.99

15. A Nylabone key ring teething chew because your dog needs a set of keys, too. This toy will give them something to chew on while they go for a ride.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Great for puppies and aggressive adult chewers. The texture of the keys is a little different than the circle and the puppy's seems to enjoy them. I use them with my older dog to play fetch inside the house. He can easily get the round thing in his mouth and the puppy uses them when teething. Puppies that are teething need something soft as well something hard. The more different textures the better but they don't need everything at one time. Make sure you change up there chewing items every day so they don't get bored. I have no complaints about this product and it's well worth money." —Joseph and Angela

Price: $10.39 (available in sizes S-L and two flavors)

16. A paw cleaner that'll get dirt and mud off your dog's paws so your car doesn't get paw prints all over it.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Works perfectly for muddy paws! Bristles are soft and my dogs don’t mind it. Easy to clean. Wish I would have ordered this sooner!" —Jared A. Carpenter

Price: $8.99+ (available in sizes L-XL)

17. Calming chews made with organic chamomile so your dog can relax and have an even better time in the car.

amazon.com

Promising review: "My dog has been extra clingy and whiny in the evenings as he is getting older. A friend told me it could be anxiety and that I should try these chews. My dog is very picky about what he will eat, and he goes right for these chews. Fifteen minutes later he is relaxed!" —Amazonian

Price: $30.96 (available in two flavors)

18. A quilted seat cover that'll keep your upholstery safe and your dog comfy.

amazon.com

Promising review: This product is amazing. I was purchasing a new vehicle and wanted a nice quality cover to protect my new leather seats. The material is very lux but also protective. It was incredibly easy to install and took less than 10 minutes. My dog loves it. No more sliding around on a towel. When I twist and turn the car, she's solid as a rock. And it's conveniently washable. Another plus. I LOVE this car seat cover. Highly, highly recommend." —Michael Singleton

Price: $39.95+ (available in two sizes and three styles)
