Best car for dog owners

Practicality with an uncompromised look is a difficult balance, especially when you’re trying to cater for those with 2 legs and those with 4. You’d be forgiven for prioritising the needs of those who throw the ball over those that chase it, but let's be honest, if the car isn’t right for Buddy, you’re probably barking up the wrong tree.

Best car for small dogs

Come rain or shine, man's best friend will always need a daily walk, at the least. Part and parcel of this contract is the unavoidable mud that even on a hot summers day, Buster will somehow find. Fortunately, the Ford Puma is equipped with a MegaBox in the boot that features a waterproof lining and drain plug; perfect for washing down your 4 legged friend before they hop into the back seat caked in mud.

Situated in the lower load compartment, this innovative MegaBox enhances the loadspace without compromising the overall space of the boot. Additionally, for your benefit, the Ford Puma embodies a host of smart features and innovative technology that will put you in complete control. From the advanced 8" touchscreen display to the efficient EcoBoost Hybrid powertrain.

Best car for large dog owners

When you’re venturing further with your companion, you wish for them to be as comfortable in the back as you are in the front. The all-new Ford Kuga has been designed to increase comfort throughout and deliver first-class roominess. Being longer and wider than the outgoing model allows the second-row to be completely adaptable to your needs. Whether you wish to bring the entire row forward for 67 litres more boot space, move them backwards for best-in-class legroom over 1 meter long or fold them flat with ease thanks to the remote release function.

In the front, the Kuga Hybrid is offered with FordPass Connect embedded modem technology that turns the vehicle into a mobile WiFi hotspot. Whilst outside a distinctive new design is more sculpted and simplified with premium proportions, completing one of the most beautiful and versatile SUVs yet.

Best car for active and energetic dogs

It feels like for the past 18+ months all we've been able to do is go for a walk, which must have been like heaven for dogs across the nation. However, if you feel like you need to heighten the sense of adventure, the Ford Focus is here for you. The revolutionised and much-desired model has allowed Ford to develop premium handling, class-leading aerodynamics and a raised ride height (on the Active model). All of which opens the door for you and your comrade to discover new ground.

An increased boot capacity combined with extra leg and shoulder room creates a more comfortable journey. Whilst the sleeker and more stylish exterior allows you to arrive in style with a powerful stance out on the road.

Additionally, for a VIP finish, you can discover the high-end Ford Focus Vignale.

Best car for dog walkers

If hounds end up becoming an occupational hazard, you’ll need a vehicle that combines flexibility in design with reliability in performance. The Ford Tourneo Custom does exactly this. 30 different seat configurations across the 3 rows, may not sound like the biggest selling point to a dog walker, unless you have unbelievably well trained customers, however, it does showcase the versatility. And with the ability to remove seats to create even more loadspace, we think it opens your eyes to the possibilities. Then, the 2.2-litre Duratorq diesel engine and advanced traction control provide the unrivalled performance in your business van that others can only aspire to.

In addition to travelling in style, you can take advantage of the dual-zone air-con for maximum comfort and an enviable six-speed manual gearbox partners with the powerful engine to push the van confidently forward with front-wheel drive. Refined in design, dependable in performance.

Best car for families with two big dogs

When one dog just isn’t enough you need a vehicle that offers room for two. With Ford being a market leader in cars and vans, you’ll find more than sufficient space within the range. Yet, for those that are thinking more than just a day trip to the countryside, the Ford Ranger steps up to the game.

Featuring incredible towing capability, 470nm of torque power and trailer sway control for industry-leading safety, the Ranger not only looks the part but drives the part. The award-winning pick-up has also been reimagined with a number of limited edition models, including the Stormtrak and Wolftrak, all of which sit proudly within the range that features the Raptor and Wildtrak.
