The Dog Pack includes a rear protection tray or mat (depending on vehicle model), a reflective boot-lip protector, a four-piece dog travel set (including an easy-store bowl, a lead, a waste-bag holder and a sealable food bag), an over-seat cargo-area organizer, and an all-terrain dog bed.

A recent study found dogs jumping in and out of higher-riding cars and SUVs led to “augmented levels of loading on anatomical structures”, and could lead to serious joint or bone injury.

To counter this, the Nissan Dog Pack can also include a ramp that, when extended, stretches 1.6 meters from the cargo compartment’s lip to the ground, making for an easy and stress-free entry and exit from your vehicle for your pet. When not in use, the ramp retracts to fit easily in the rear cargo area or under a seat.

The Nissan Dog Pack can also include a sturdy cargo barrier that separates the rear cargo area from the cabin, ensuring your furry friend doesn’t go on any in-car adventures while you’re on the move.

Nissan customers can simply opt for the Dog Pack, which includes the comprehensive collection of dog-friendly accessories and merchandise. Or they can then add the extendable ramp, the cargo barrier, or opt for the complete offering, which includes the accessories and merchandise, the ramp and the cargo barrier.

Pricing ranges from AUD 339 (P 12,590) for just the Dog Pack all the way to AUD 1,215 (P 45,124) for the Dog Pack + ramp + cargo barrier combo. Sadly, it’s exclusive for the Australian market for now. No news if Nissan Philippines will offer this as an accessory in the near future.
