Škoda and dogs
Handy tips on driving safely with furry friends on board, plus news about our canine partnerships.
If you’re a dog owner, you know that your four-legged friend is a part of the family. We’re here to help you choose the ideal car for your family, and to help keep your pet safe on the road. We’ll also tell you more about the fantastic work of our partners.
Our partnership with Dogs for Good
Dogs for Good is a charity bringing people and dogs together in extraordinary ways to help people with disabilities lead more fulfilling lives.
To do that, the Dogs for Good team is always out and about, whether it’s driving dogs to training sessions, taking them home to their volunteer families, visiting puppies in their volunteer homes or taking dogs to support sessions for people with a range of disabilities.
We’ve helped Dogs for Good reach out to even more people by donating two Škoda Kamiqs.
It’s official: dogs prefer electric cars
Less stress, less woof. A study carried out by TV vet Dr Scott Miller reveals that dogs are ‘more relaxed’ when travelling in an electric vehicle than a fuel-powered car.
Keeping your pet safe on the road
Škoda Pet Packs help keep your dog safe and your car looking good.
Check out our Happy Hounds Spotify playlist
by Anna Webb and Škoda
If your dog is unhappy in the car, perhaps some soothing sounds would help? Together with canine behavioural expert Anna Webb, we’ve put together a Happy Hounds playlist which is scientifically proven to relieve canine anxiety.
The tracks feature slow BPM (beats per minute), calming tones and easy-going repetition. We think they sound great to human ears too!

At Škoda we think a lot about how we can help our working four legged friends, and are a firm favourite with the emergency services, providing bespoke Škoda models such as the Škoda Kodiaq and Škoda Karoq – which all provide the pawfect environment for hard-working dogs.

The competition attracts over 20,000 dogs competing for the coveted title of Best in Show as well as international agility, flyball and obedience events. The visitors can also explore the trade show, which is centred around dog related goods and services and where you will also be able to meet team Škoda!

The highly skilled staff spend their days training dogs to help people affected by disability, autism, dementia and other conditions and mental health challenges to live happier, healthier and more independent lives.
BorrowMyDoggy
Founded in 2012, BorrowMyDoggy connects dog owners with trusted local people who would love to look after their dog. They make it easy to arrange walks, playtime, overnight stays or holidays. The aim is to help dog owners when they need it, give dogs more exercise and playtime, and to allow people without a dog to spend quality time with one.
