More than half of the 54 million American dog owners consider buying a vehicle based on its ability to accommodate man's best friend, according to Autotrader. For the second year in a row, the car-shopping site has put together a list of the nine best new cars for dogs. "The cars on our list provide key features for pet owners, such as fold-flat rear seats, rear lift gate, low ride height, airy cabin and under-floor storage," Brian Moody, executive editor for Autotrader, said in a statement. A low ride height, which is ideal for smaller and older dogs, must've precluded pickups from the list. Rear climate control was also considered in the new car list, which does not repeat one recommendation from last year. Autotrader cites the expansive rear cargo space and low ride height as ideal for dogs. Source: www.chicagotribune.com
