With some helpful videos showing great Hints and Tips

At Škoda, we love dogs and we know that choosing the right car for your dog is as important as choosing the right car for your family. That is why we have partnered with key dog charities and organisations to support their invaluable work and promote important safety tips for travelling with dogs in cars.

Škoda was the official automotive partner of Crufts 2024

Škoda was proud to have officially partnered with Crufts again for 2024. They attended the show with a Škoda Dog stand this year, which gave all visitors the chance to see Škoda's latest, dog-friendly Škoda cars, which were fully equipped with accessories to guarantee a safer and more comfortable journey for you and your loved dog or pet.

Dogs for Good partnership

Škoda have also partnered up with Dogs for Good, an amazing charity that brings people and dogs together to help make life possible for people with a range of disabilities.

Dogs for Good staff are always out and about, from driving dogs to training sessions, taking them home to their volunteer families, visiting puppies in their volunteer homes or taking Community Dogs to support sessions for disabled people. So, we have donated two Škoda Kamiqs to support and expand their vital work.

To learn more about the incredible work Dogs for Good do, and how you can help, visit their website or social channels.

How to travel with dogs in cars

Škoda, want to make sure that you travel safely and comfortably with your dog in the car.

To help, Škoda has a wide range of dog accessories for pooches of every size including dog car harnesses, dog guards and even a rear seat dog hammock.

Ingram Škoda can order these Genuine Accessories and fit them to your car if required.

Check out our Happy Hounds Spotify playlist

by Anna Webb and Škoda

Many dogs struggle with travelling in the car and get stressed in and around automobiles. To celebrate its sponsorship of Crufts 2023, Škoda is working with canine behavioural expert Anna Webb to help relieve this stress by creating a Spotify playlist, named Happy Hounds, specifically curated to soothe anxious dogs on car journeys.

The music on this playlist will be scientifically proven to relieve a dog’s anxiety in the car, thanks to its slow BPM (beats per minute), calming tones and repetition. It will be supported by science and Anna’s expertise after 20 years in the business.

Ingram Motoring Group Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Ingram Motoring Group Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of finance providers and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
