    Dog transport? how big of a dog? If it is a bigger dog i would just take out your back seats a little bit and put a blanket around them, or some thick fabric doesn't look bad in my mind. If it's a small dog i would just go to auto zone and get some cheap ones and take them out once your dog is gone out of it

      Big Dog = Horse blanket over rear seat, and keep him back there on the road.

      It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

        Potentially ~55#; right now, ~27#. She doesn’t even really fit very well in the sport seat; something I noticed yesterday. It will be a daily trip, so I think actually the back seat idea might be a better fit.

        Maybe something like this:

        $70


        and these to supplement

        $30


        I saw also that center divider thing, but I’m not a fan.

          Don't spend that much money on basically a blanket. For my dog, I just use an old blanket that I used to use. Works perfectly and I just spread it over the rear of the seat just in case. Don't waste money on that when you can get the same protection for A LOT less.

            i have a 135lb rotti, i just throw a uhaul blanket over the recaro and kinda tuck the edges inbetween the cushion and the bolsters and let it drape over the rest. eventually i am going to have my friend who reupholstered the seats make me a fitted cover out of heavy canvas. just make sure the blanket is dense enough that the dogs claws don't go through and poke a hole in your seat. BTW he rides in the front seat.:pimp:

              Yeah, I think I’ll see if I can get one of those football game quilts that is cotton on one side and nylon on the other, and somehow tuck it into the back seat.

                As a dog owner with leather rear seats in the Landcruiser, the best thing to keep from him clawing the seats is frequent nail trimming and finishing with a diamond file to round off the edges. It's a win - win, your seats are less likely to get poked, and your dog won't tear up his ears when he scratches them with a rear foot.

                And don't overspend on the blanket like someone else said, but those sideboard thingies look like a good idea if your dog is a jumper. My mutt is as laid back as it gets on a ride, so he doesn't move from where I tell him to sit.

                Spend money on either grooming clips & fileboards, or get him done like every 2 weeks. It'll save a lot of other stuff around the house too, and when your dog gets used to the routine it's less than a 10 minute job.

                It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.
