Curious what car is going be best for your pets?

Canine lovers will enjoy this information.  AAA released a list of several vehicles that are nice choices for dog owners who like to travel with their animal(s) in tow.  A line of experts that has test driven hundreds of cars, trucks, vans and everything in between has come up with a list of vehicles with amenities that make traveling with a dog or puppy that much better. 

At a nearby Toyota dealership in Chicago, the 2010 Highlander, Sequoia, and RAV4, for example, are all big enough to carry a canine.  With the 2011 Toyota Avalon, Chicago drivers may find a good choice for the non-animal traveler, or perhaps the person who has a small dog capable of fitting in a large purse.  But, one model found on lots goes beyond all of these for top canine comfort.  The Toyota Venza has a list of features that are helpful if you can’t leave man’s best friend at home.

The Venza is a vehicle that is somewhere between a station wagon and a crossover utility vehicle.  Toyota offers so many pet accessories that it makes you wonder if the designer didn’t have a dog or two himself.  If you purchase a Venza, a pet ramp can help your dog get in and out comfortably via the rear tailgate.  Waterproof seat covers help keep your Venza’s interior clean and dry in case of an accident.  Also, you can opt for an adjustable harness/booster seat system to keep your puppy in one spot during your trip.  There’s even a pet barrier you can adjust and a dog tether to keep your dog from becoming a front seat driver along with you!  These are all accessories, so you’d have to look into adding these into the purchase price of the auto.

These are just some of the great features of the Toyota Venza, along with those features you look for that don’t have anything to do with traveling with an animal.  In Chicago, Toyota vans, trucks, cars, and SUVs come with many safety, performance and design features that make driving a Toyota a great choice!
