Best Cars for Dogs | U.S. News

We didn’t promise a minivan in this roundup of the best new vehicles for dog owners, but it only makes sense that the ultimate family hauler is also perfect for four-legged friends. The Odyssey is one of the best minivans you can buy thanks to its great value and agreeable driving dynamics.

Here’s what makes a minivan so great for dogs: a sliding door with a wide opening, a low floor for an easy jump up and a flexible seating layout so your pup can sit where she’s most comfortable, getting all the attention from the kids (or none at all, if she prefers). Honda equips top trims with the CabinWatch camera system, so you can keep an eye on the rear row.
