Honda Motor Co. says its Honda Element sport utility vehicle, assembled in East Liberty, will offer dog-friendly features starting this fall.
Honda said that the vehicle will likely contain a cushioned pet bed in the cargo area with an elevated platform; pet restraint systems; a rear ventilation fan; and a spill-resistant water bowl.
Executive Vice President of American Honda John Mendel says the components are intended to transform the Honda Elements into the "ultimate dog car."
According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association Inc., 39 percent of all households own at least one dog, with an estimated total United States dog population of 74.8 million.
