With end-of-year clearance sales in full swing, consider taking a portion of this year’s tax return and treating Fido to a comfortable ride in the 2016 Mazda3, named a best dog-friendly vehicle by Autotrader. For many of us, bringing Fido along for short errands or even weekend trips is standard protocol.  After all, leaving your dog behind is simply not an option for man’s best friend.  The folks at Autotrader tell us that 56% of car buyers shop with their four-legged pets in mind.

What Makes The 2016 Mazda3 A Top Pooch Patrol Vehicle?

For starters, the 5-door 2016 Mazda3 features a hatchback, making it perfect for loading and unloading your four-legged canine companions.  The cargo space is 20.2 cubic feet.  You can easily fit a pooch or multiple pooches the size of a Jack Russell Terrier, up to medium-sized breeds like a Shetland Sheepdog or even a large breed Golden Retriever, or any mix in-between.  However, for Irish Wolfhounds and Great Danes, you may need a taller vehicle!  If you decide not to stash Moxie the Doxie in the cargo hold, your beloved pet(s) can easily ride in the second row of seats, within easy reach for reassuring pats and treats.

 

Car Accessories For Pets Are Widely Available

To make your vehicle even more pet-friendly, check out all the accessories that are available to make your dog’s ride even more comfortable.  For instance, you might wish to consider investing in rubber mats, pet barriers or seat cover hammocks.  There’s no reason to leave Fido at home when your vehicle is a 2016 Mazda3, equipped to safely transport your pets.

 

Stop by Cardinale Mazda Salinas at the Salinas Auto Mall and check out the 2016 Mazda3.  Visit our website at www.CardinaleMazda.com for a complete listing of our new and #CertifiedPreowned inventory.  Our Sales team and Finance department can help you put Fido in the driver’s seat – for a photo op, of course!  We’ll leave the driving to you.
