Hi Greytalk,
We recently adopted a previously homed greyhound who has for several years ridden exclusively in an SUV. Apparently she looked forward to her roadtrips and was not in the least bit nervous in the previous owner's RAV 4.
When we adopted her a couple of months ago and tried to put her in my Camry for the first time, she became very anxious, and has remained that way on subsequent rides to the vet, etc. She trembles all over, won't get up on the backseat and insists on standing on the floor in the backseat, which is very unsafe. She really doesn't want to get into the car at all, but will do so if someone else is riding in the back with her.
I've decided to buy a different car, and I'd like recommendations on a grey-friendly vehicle that is NOT an SUV. We don't expect to travel with her a lot; I'd like to find something that we can take short excursions in. It must be fuel-efficient, but large enough for the dog to lay down comfortably in the back. Does anyone have suggestions for any hatchbacks or other types of cars that are comfortable for their greyhounds to ride in?
Thanks so much.
