Nissan Thinks of Toutou

With the influence of an American clientele very attached to their pets, Nissan launches a range of dedicated accessories.

Nissan is well aware that in the United States, there are two ways to love animals. By hunting them, which explains a nice range of pick-ups, or by showering them with gifts. When they do not become real fashion accessories for starlets seeking visibility, the dog or cat is an integral part of the family for 97% of households.

Today, more and more cars include a “pet” mode that ensures an ideal environment for a pet left alone in the cabin. But it is surprising that the interior accessory goldmine has not yet been seriously addressed by manufacturers. Apart from useful cargo area dividers to prevent Fido from smashing into the windshield during emergency braking, there’s little to nothing available. Nissan is the first to step forward with several very interesting proposals for owners, which of course is also lucrative for the Japanese brand.

Highly profitable options

The wide range primarily includes front and rear seat covers to protect the seats from scratches and drool. These covers are especially well-suited to the vehicle’s configuration and feature several panels and zippers. It’s thus possible to avoid obstructing the functioning of the 60/40 split rear seat or the Isofix child seat attachments.

The catalog also includes a dog harness, cargo area protectors, and even a ramp with a storage case to avoid tiring out the poor animals. Of course, the transport cage for pets weighing up to 11 kg has not been forgotten for the younger or more unruly ones.

All these items are already available in the United States for most models in the range and should not take long to arrive in Europe for the models we share with the Land of the Rising Sun.
