My Dog has a fear when travelling in my ZS EV.

[Selwyn]

We have a strange issue. Our Sprocker Bitch (13 Months) refuses to get into the rear of the car, even runs away given the chance. When we arrive at destination she is often shaking. We also have a Volvo XC60 D5. She runs up to the vehicle and very happy to travel in the car. I am wondering if she is being upset by the electrics i.e. Motors, Batteries, magnetics etc ? I cannot find anything on the internet.

Interesting. Before our cocker crossed the rainbow bridge she was regularly a passenger in the boot of our MG4 power along with our beagle with no issues. She's no longer with us and we now have an S6 but the beagle is and he's very happy with his accommodation.

Dogs are very sensitive to things, what is under the boot in your model?

 

[Selwyn]

I am not sure, but maybe rear section of the battery.

Not up to speed with your vehicle, is the motor under there?

Has this always been an issue?

Has she been watching u tube videos, about EVs.

Might have something to do with high frequency sound waves of the electric motor only the dog can hear?
We have two cats, every time I turn on the air fryer the the kitten legs it out the door, the old fellow couldn’t be bothered but then his hearing isn’t the best??

Check out Graham Hall on Chennel 5, "Dogs Behaving Badly". There was an episode where a dog refused to get into the back of a car.

Maybe some sort of vibration or resonance, or an unusual smell, both could only be detectable to a dog, or maybe she just doesn't like the colour.

 

[DBedford]

maybe the Plastic leather... the motors at the front

Howcome, the MG ZS EV is a front wheel drive car.

We have 2 cockers and they are quite happy (as far as I can tell) in the boot of both Mrs P's ZS EV and my Kia EV3

I leg it out the door when the wife turns on the air fryer!!!

 

[Selwyn]

Thanks for the input, appreciated, looks like the Volvo for Walks ! Shall try her in another MG ZS EV and see what happens.

I can't imagine trying to get our Ferocious Mexican Hunting Dog (Chihuahua) into the boot in the first place ..... I get a dirty look from him when I try to sit in the passenger seat, but as long as I have his faux fur rug on my lap for him to sleep on, all is fine ..... at least he feels safe when the wife is driving ......

I developed a morbid fear of travelling in my daughter’s car when she rescued the old duffer last night. Her diesel was low on charge so I went to pay as she charged up (amazingly quickly I thought ).
I was OK once I was revived and regained possession of my card and senses. FORTY quid for some very smelly charge stuff

 

[Selwyn]

Going to try herin another identical car to see what happens
