ATLANTA -

To catch the attention of dog lovers everywhere, AutoTrader is celebrating National Dog Day by naming a list of vehicles that are most friendly toward the furrier of passengers.

AutoTrader.com released its list today of their picks for “Must-Shop Cars for Dog Lovers.”

And catering to the dog lovers in your community may bode well on the lot — according to the American Pet Products Association, over 56 million American Households own a dog.

The vehicles chosen for the list range from the outdoorsy Subaru Outback to the quirky Nissan Juke and feature dog-friendly amenities such as fold-flat seats, rear lift gate, low ride height, airy cabin and underfloor storage

Vehicles on the list also include:

  • Volkswagen Tiguan
  • BMW X3
  • Volvo V60
  • Kia Soul
  • Honda Odyssey

“It’s important to take your lifestyle into consideration when choosing a car, and for many people, this includes their dog,” said Brian Moody, AutoTrader.com site editor. “Dog owners should be mindful of the features that will make traveling with their dog easier, and if possible, even take their dog with them on the test drive to make sure the car is the right fit for everyone in the family.”

In fact, in a recent survey, 55 percent of the site’s visitors polled who own a dog said they look out for cars and trucks that can accommodate their pet.

Of site visitors polled who have a dog, 75 percent take them in the car once per month or more, and 53 percent take them in the car at least once a week, site officials reported.
