Nissan Australia has created a series of accessories, specifically designed to make travelling with dogs a little easier.
The accessories, designed for the Qashqai, X-Trail, and Patrol, were created to make dogs more comfortable when travelling in the cars boot.
The Dog Pack comes with a rear protection tray (or a mat depending on the vehicle), a reflective trunk lip protector, an over-seat cargo organiser, and an all-terrain dog bed. It also includes a four-piece dog travel set, with is equipped with an easy-store dog bowl, leash, a poo bag holder, and a sealable food bag.
There is also an additional ramp which extends to 1.6 metres, making it easier for dogs to get in and out of the car. Study's have found that all dogs could benefit from this feature, not just those that are old or small. It found that dogs jumping in and out of SUVs can lead to “augmented levels of loading on anatomical structures” that could cause serious joint or bone injury.

Both you and your pet will love our new accessories.”
