Nissan: Greater Safety on the Road

Whether it's a dachshund or a Golden Retriever: When you take your dog along for the ride, it's not just about finding the right spot—it's also about securing them safely. Nissan is marking International Dog Day by expanding its line of accessories to include a matching harness and smart transport solutions.

For many families, the dog has long been part of the crew. Whether on a weekend getaway, a trip to the countryside, or a long vacation drive, the four-legged friend naturally comes along. But when it comes to finding a place for the leash, blanket, and water bowl, one question stands out above all others: How can you keep your dog safe and comfortable in the car?

That’s why Nissan is expanding its line of genuine accessories to include a safety harness for dogs. It’s available in various sizes and is therefore suitable for both small and larger dogs—from dachshunds to Golden Retrievers. The harness connects directly to the seatbelt buckle on the back seat via an integrated strap. Your four-legged friend stays secured during the ride without turning the interior into a makeshift transport area. This should put not only the owner’s mind at ease. For the dog, too, a secure harness means less restlessness during the ride. At the same time, the back seat remains a clearly defined travel space—an advantage especially when passengers are traveling alongside the dog.

After all, when you travel with a dog, there’s usually more than just the dog. Leashes, toys, blankets, water bowls, and food need to be within reach but not scattered loosely throughout the cabin. For these everyday needs, Nissan offers new rear-seat organizers. They attach to the front seats and provide numerous pockets and compartments. The material is durable and easy to clean—a feature that quickly becomes essential when dealing with wet paws, sand, and spilled water. The organizer not only creates additional storage space but also keeps the backs of the front seats free from dirt and scratches.

Nissan also focuses on organization in the trunk. Foldable trunk organizers with a sturdy construction and built-in dividers prevent groceries, sports equipment, or dog accessories from getting jumbled up with every turn. The organizers can be stowed away to save space when not in use and offer a flexible way to neatly organize luggage when needed. All genuine accessories are specifically tailored to the respective Nissan models. From safely transporting your dog to additional cargo capacity options such as roof racks or roof boxes, the Nissan accessory lineup offers practical solutions for a wide variety of needs. (aum)
