At Goldstein Subaru in Albany, it’s not uncommon to see furry friends in the store. Not just when the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society comes to visit, but throughout the week… because Subaru owners love DOGS!
Official Subaru Doggos & Puppers
We like to call these special Subaru riders “Official Subaru Doggos & Puppers.” These dogs come in all sizes, and all ages… and from all over the Northeast. While most do come from the Capital District, we do have the occasional visitor from out of state – like Zeema from Baltimore. Tucker came from the Hawkeye State. Rambo commutes north and back from Manhattan, along with his buddy Halo. Odd thing about Halo – she’s a cat! So, yes, we’re not dog exclusive at Goldstein Subaru.
The Job of a Subaru Doggo
Subaru Doggos accompany their hoomans when it’s time for scheduled maintenance, like an oil change. They also come along when it’s time for a Lifetime Car Wash, something we include with every vehicle we sell at no additional charge.
You’ll also find these puppers helping a hooman choose their first, or next, Subaru. Just the other day, a pair of pups helped choose a Forester for a new Subaru owner. And yesterday, Odin helped choose a Subaru WRX for his hooman – their first Subaru as well.
These canines have important responsibilities as an “Official Subaru Doggo.” They must claim an entire back seat or back of the vehicle. They can insist on their own special seat cover or blanket, as well as a harness to keep them secure. They help navigate to important destinations, like the dog park, Goldstein Subaru, or back to the dog park. These “DPS” systems can fail occasionally, when heading to the vet or similar places, but the hooman has Subaru navigation to keep them on course.
You’ve got a living sub-woofer to sing along with you and the Subaru infotainment system. And these puppers also make sure you stop, stretch and snack frequently during your trip. At times, your Subaru DPS may go off-line and snore, but this is considered normal.
But, mainly, a Subaru Doggo just enjoys the comfy ride, just like their hoomans do.
Pet Friendly is Customer Friendly
We’ve always welcomed well-behaved dogs (and the rare cat) to Goldstein Subaru in Albany, NY. We understand that some owners can’t leave their fur babies alone at home. Pups also know that they need to supervise their hoomans, to make sure treats and walkies are on the to-do list.
Some customers have been bringing in their dogs for years! Sometimes one dog will introduce us to another, like when Rosie introduced us to a pup named Strider. Now, Strider is a year old and just as big as Rosie is! How time flies!
Our customers have commented that they wished other stores were as accommodating with their pets. We’ll just keep that to ourselves, as we want to pups to visit us as often as possible at Goldstein Subaru. We keep treats handy, and hopefully our supply of squeaky toys can keep up with demand.
So, if you’re a Subaru owner and have a friendly, well-behaved dog… we welcome you to visit Goldstein Subaru on Central Avenue in Albany! We also have a Parts Department that can help your pup stay safe in your vehicle – just ask about pet accessories.
