New Nissan Accessories Help Make Your Vehicle More Pet-Friendly

Animal accessories for vehicles are a massively growing market. According to Forbes more than 66% of all U.S. households have a pet, with 97% of people believing their pets are an essential member of their family. That’s why Nissan has taken charge and is providing owners with meaningful accessories that are a perfect fit for not only their Nissan vehicle but also their pet-owning lifestyle.  

Personalized Pet Products 

Most accessories pet owners purchase online or at in-person retailers are often very generalized. For instance, a seat cover/protector will say medium, large, or extra-large and is just meant to fit rear seats around a certain size. This can lead to frustrations when the protector isn’t tight enough over your seats or is too tight. It’s even worse if you purchase a cargo protector that isn’t a secure fit and slides around, sometimes forcing you to forcibly close your tailgate. However, Nissan is now offering the perfect solution.  

Which Vehicles Do These Accessories Fit? 

For owners with an Altima, Frontier, Pathfinder, Rogue, Sentra, and Infiniti QX60, Nissan has created a genuine Pet Seat Protector that will fit perfectly and a genuine Pet Cargo Area Protector for the Murano, Pathfinder, Rogue, and QX60. The company also made a Pet Carrier for animals weighing up to 25 lbs, a Pet Ramp, and a Dog Harness. The Pet Ramp is especially helpful for aging dogs or owners who have adopted skittish dogs with trouble jumping in and out of a taller SUV. 

A Product Planner Who Understands Pet Owners’ Needs 

In the company’s press release, they highlighted Rachel Edwards, Nissan Senior Planner of Accessory Product Planning, also the proud parent of a 4-year-old Boxer named Cooper, and Charlie, a 3-year-old Boxer/Australian Shephard mix. Ms. Edwards has found the time to volunteer for the Middle Tennessee dog rescue since 2017. So, she definitely knows what it’s like to have less-than-ideal gear in her car. When speaking about the Pet Seat Protectors that allow you to still fold down the seats in their normal 60/40 split form, Edwards said, "Accessory engineering did a great job of customizing them to fit the seats and the cargo area. You can just unzip one side and lay that seat down." 

A Concept Turned Reality 

All of these products follow the debut of the well-received X-Trail 4Dogs and Rogue Dogue pet accessories, which were made to keep pets safe and comfortable in the cargo area of a Nissan crossover and SUV. According to Nissan, tons of people asked about these products and wanted them for their cars.
