5 Best 2021 Chevy Pet Friendly Vehicles

To the Dogs: Chevy Leads The Pet Friendly Pack

Around the world, the demand for vehicles that can comfortably fit the whole family, including pets, is on the rise. Pets have always played a central role in the lives of most American families, and that is a tradition that Chevy intends to continue.

Our pets are a part of our families, and we consider them in most of the important choices we make in life, such as where we decide to live and what car we choose to drive. But as much as we love our pets, very few vehicles are built to accommodate our beloved four-legged family members. Luckily, there are some notable exceptions.

What Makes A Vehicle Pet Friendly?

When it comes to choosing the ideal vehicle that are safely suitable for pets, there are several factors to take into consideration. Chief among these is safety. Let’s face it, our pets are often more unruly than kids and tend to cause a certain measure of chaos wherever they go — after all, that’s part of their charm.

Unfortunately, it is precisely that charm that can lead to catastrophic consequences on the road. Features such as lane-departure warning, pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking will help you drive safely despite any temporary pet-related distractions, and rearview cameras ensure that you can safely back out of the driveway, even with your companion blocking your view of the rear window.

Obviously, space is a significant factor, and whether you choose to secure your pet in a vehicle pet crate or not, there would have to be adequate cargo space. Foldable rear seats make the lives of pet owners easier, and it also helps if the interior floor and seat covers are easy to clean in case of inevitable spills, and of course, pet hair.

Which Chevy Models Are Best For Pets?

Chevy offers a whole bevy of models that are perfect for the entire family, including beloved pets. Whether you are going to the local doggy park, or on a weekend family road trip, or a vacation, Chevrolet has the ideal vehicle for you. Options include the Equinox, the Traverse, the iconic Tahoe, the Suburban and the Cruze, to name a few.

2021 Chevrolet Equinox

The Chevrolet Equinox is widely hailed for its family-friendly – and pet friendly – credentials. It offers more than enough space to comfortably accommodate the whole family, including pups of any size. It offers a generous 29.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the second-row seats up. Should you require more space, the rear seats easily fold down, increasing the space to an impressive 63.9 cubic feet.

2021 Chevrolet Traverse

The Chevrolet Traverse will easily and safely accommodate your whole gang, including pets. A host of driver-assist features help ensure a safe trip thanks to Chevy’s Smart Slide technology, which provides easy access to the third row. A SkyScape two-part sunroof also lets everyone feels the breeze, even in the back. Fold down the third row to free up 57.8 cubic feet of space, or both, to give you 98.2 cubic feet. That’s big enough even for a large pet crate! The hands-free liftgate makes for easy loading and unloading.

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

The iconic Chevrolet Tahoe is the ultimate family carrier. Forward collision alert, a rearview camera and rear parking assist take care of all your safety concerns while the generously spacious interior lets everyone enjoy the trip in comfort. Second-row and third-row seats are easily foldable, revealing enough space for even the largest of pets.

2021 Chevrolet Suburban

The Chevrolet Suburban is the way to go if you have a large family – or large dogs! Regardless of the size of your dogs, the Suburban is the ideal vehicle for sharing adventures as a family. Sporting 100.3 cubic feet of cargo space, your Suburban will easily accommodate even the largest dog breeds. At the same time, a handy conversation mirror will let you keep an eye out for mischief brewing in the back without having to turn around. Chevy has added a floor liner and all-weather mats to ensure dog hairs and spills are easily cleaned up. The programmable lift gate also makes rear access a breeze.

2021 Chevrolet Cruze

Chevrolet’s most compact pet-friendly offering is the hatchback Cruze, but don’t let its size fool you: it is a worthy contender when it comes to accommodating pets. Perfect for those who prefer a smaller vehicle that can still accommodate four-legged companions, the Cruze has foldable rear seats that unveil ample space. Plus, the rear lift gate and low ride height provides easy access to the back.
