🛡️ Subaru Safety Tips for Traveling with Pets
Subaru is known for its award-winning safety features, and that extends to your pets too. Here’s how to keep them secure:
Use a crash-tested harness or crate that attaches to seat belts.
Keep pets in the rear seat or cargo area—never the front seat.
Crack windows for ventilation, but avoid letting pets hang out.
Never leave pets in a hot car—even with the windows down.
Subaru’s climate control and remote start features help regulate cabin temperature while you set up camp.
🐕 Ease Into the Adventure
If your pet is new to camping, start with short trips. Let them explore your Subaru, the tent, and the outdoors gradually. Subaru’s smooth ride and quiet cabin help reduce travel anxiety.
Pro tip: Bring familiar items like their bed or a favorite toy to help them feel at home.
🌲 Respect Nature and Fellow Campers
Subaru owners love the outdoors—and we all share a responsibility to protect it. Be a courteous camper:
Keep pets leashed unless in a designated off-leash area.
Pick up and properly dispose of pet waste.
Prevent excessive barking or disruptive behavior.
Let’s leave no pawprint behind.
🏕️ Create a Cozy Campsite with Your Subaru
Your Subaru can double as a basecamp for your pet:
Lay down a pet bed in the cargo area.
Use the rear hatch for shade and shelter.
Hang string lights or use lanterns for a calming vibe.
Some Subaru owners even convert their vehicles into pet-friendly campers. Ask our team about Subaru camping accessories to enhance your setup.
