VW Stories
"Charlie’s First Long-Distance VW Trip"
Charlie, a seasoned road-tripper and rescue dog, had spent countless hours in the passenger seat of his owner’s 1973 VW Bus. His family had always taken short trips, but this time they were planning a long-distance adventure from New York to the Adirondacks. With the trip being a bit longer, they needed to ensure Charlie's comfort and safety for the ride. Before they hit the road, they did a thorough check of their VW Bus to ensure everything from the engine to the brakes was in good condition. They also made sure Charlie had a cozy, secure spot in the van, with plenty of water, snacks, and breaks along the way. The trip was a huge success because they had planned ahead: the car was roadworthy, Charlie had a comfortable ride, and the family was able to enjoy their time without worrying about safety. This trip highlighted how important it is to prepare both your vehicle and your pets for longer trips. Ensuring your car’s performance is top-notch before embarking on a road trip, especially with a furry passenger, is key to having a smooth and enjoyable experience.
"Benny and the Importance of Regular Maintenance"
Benny, a Labrador, had been on several road trips with his owner’s classic 1965 VW Beetle. On one particular trip, the engine started to sputter in the middle of a long stretch of highway. It was a little stressful for Benny's owner, but thankfully, they had taken the time to perform regular maintenance on the Beetle. They had recently replaced the oil, checked the brakes, and ensured the battery was in good condition, which ultimately kept them safe on the road. Benny’s owner was a firm believer in regular maintenance, and this incident reinforced that belief. While the breakdown didn’t turn into a major problem, it was a reminder that taking time to properly maintain your VW (or any vehicle) is crucial to avoid unexpected issues. Benny’s owner recommends always performing a pre-trip inspection to ensure you’re fully prepared for the road, especially when traveling with your dog.
"Lucy’s Road Trip and the Importance of Comfort for Your Dog"
Lucy, a Border Collie, loved to travel, but her humans learned a valuable lesson on a trip across several states in their 2019 VW ID.4. During the first few hours of the drive, Lucy seemed restless and uncomfortable. It was clear that long car trips could be a bit overwhelming for a high-energy dog like Lucy, especially when the car wasn’t set up with her comfort in mind. After stopping for a break, they rearranged the back of the VW to create more space for Lucy, adding her bed and a few toys to keep her occupied. They also planned more frequent stops, allowing Lucy to stretch her legs, get some fresh air, and hydrate. By the time they reached their destination, Lucy was much more relaxed, and the trip was enjoyable for everyone. This story emphasizes how important it is to consider your pet’s comfort during long trips. Not only should the car be equipped for safety, but also for comfort, especially when taking extended trips. Providing your dog with a familiar space and ensuring they have opportunities for exercise and hydration can make all the difference.
