Bentley Wants to Make Its Vehicles More Luxurious for Your Dog

Some doggos roll in Bentleys

At first thought, you can probably picture a Bentley as a powerful and luxurious machine with a big engine and an interior finished in the best materials money can buy. The British outfit is known for the little things that matter, down to the plush quilted seats finished in soft, supple leather, deep-pile carpets that rival the ones at your grandma’s house, and metal finishes and fixtures that feel heavy and cool to the touch. 

It’s not exactly the kind of car you’d think that you'd want to transport a dog in. However, Bentley knows that some of its clients do, and for those who have four-legged friends, the automaker has launched a Pet Accessory Range for the Bentayga SUV, which ensures their doggos get as much luxury treatment as their owners.

According to the ultra-luxury brand, nearly one in three Bentley owners regularly travel with pets, and in the context of Bentayga owners, it can go beyond trips to the vet. For these special owners, Bentley has designed an exceptional experience, combining comfort, safety, and practicality for their four-legged companions.

Bentley dogs get all the fun

These accessories start with equipment designed to keep the four-legged ones in the trunk in style. The Bespoke Dog Guard and Moveable Luggage Divider is designed to carve out a private suite for the little rover while keeping the groceries, shopping bags, and the golf clubs neatly separated.

If that’s not enough protection, Bentley also offers a Quilted Load Space Liner, which is handcrafted, padded, waterproof, and designed to fit the Bentayga’s load space perfectly to turn it into a first-class suit for on-the-go pups. It also has an integrated Bumper Protector, so your pup’s paws won’t leave a mark on your Bentayga’s paint job when getting in and out.

Bentley has also developed accessories for those whose dogs prefer to ride in the backseat. It offers tailored rear Seat Protection Covers and Seat Extenders with Quilted Door Cards, which will allow your pup to sprawl out in style while the leather seats stay scratch-free. For those who like to venture out on muddy adventures, Bentley offers all-weather floor and boot mats that are tough enough to handle the equally muddy shoes and paws, but still elegant enough for a Bentley interior.

It’s all part of Bentley’s 360-degree experience

The Pet Accessory Range is an additional pet-focused complement to Bentley’s wider Vehicle Protection Range of accessories, which are designed to keep up with its owner’s lifestyle and peace of mind. Specifically, they say that dog owners could benefit from select accessories, such as the roof rails, which could help them keep the trunk and rear seats free for doggo transportation. 

At the same time, Bentley says that the Bentley Drive Vision system, which features front and rear dashcams, can not only record the journeys that dogs and their owners take in their Bentayga, but also add another layer of peace of mind.

The Pet Accessory Range joins Bentley Home, Bentley Residences, and Bentley Experiences in what the company calls its “luxury lifestyle ecosystem,” which aims to extend the benefits of the Bentley lifestyle to every member of the family, paws included.

Final thoughts

Owners consider their furry friends to be a part of the family, and according to statistics from the American Pet Products Association, dogs are the most popular pet in the U.S. Americans spent $136.8 billion on their pets in 2022, and these days, a whole industry exists to ensure that dogs get the same kind of attention and care that their human caregivers do, whether it be refrigerated dog food made with human-grade ingredients, toys that help stimulate their brain development and function, and specialized wellness and healthcare.

In Bentley’s scenario, quilted trunk liners and bespoke dog guards might sound over the top, but in the grand scheme of things, it feels just quintessentially Bentley. Bentley owners don’t just want practicality; they want their shiba inu, poodle, or great dane to enjoy the same kind of comforts that their owners get.
