How to Transport & Protect Interior from Dog? (Doggo Megathread)

[LightningBlue]

Want to throw my 100 LB German Shepherd in my truck but don’t want her destroying the interior. Those of you with dogs; what’s the solution? I usually take her out in the Jeep, but I’m getting rid of it soon and won’t have the “who cares” vehicle anymore.

I have a German Shepherd as well, I'd recommend getting a nice seat cover that's waterproof like this one: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petco...yjNMrn5RYeqas007wbFbKWmuvnHRQeCRoCIRgQAvD_BwE
Cuts down on the amount of fur getting everywhere in your vehicle and keeps your seats clean and then you just wash it when it needs it.

I'm leaning in this direction: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DCT6SP...&pd_rd_r=94db0285-3092-11e9-aa46-c39cdcdc9328

I want to protect the door panels as well as the seats. In fact, I may even go so far as to put seat covers UNDER the dog hammock, to ensure that dog hair doesn't get into the seams and joints of the seats.

That could be a great option. I’m concerned with the quality of it though. $32 doesn’t buy much assurance lol

One thing I really love about the F150 over the Ranger is the flat floor when the rear seat is folded up.

Good thread, I am looking for how to transport a dog as well.

For big dogs I'm thinking a canopy and carpet/pad in the bed might work? That's once canopies are available.

I think I’m leaning this way aswell. Getting dog fur out of a vehicle is impossible. Plus my dog likes to scratch everything

Again a low cost option from Amazon. I would need to check the DIN of the material to see if my little sidekick would rip through it or not. Local Petshops have these ranging from over $50-75.

Edit...

Overall reviews look legit with car/truck info and mix of praise and nitpicks.

I got this one off Amazon.. works good.. It has a nonslip backing so the cover won't move and is quilted and fairly thick. Nice for under $30

Not bad! What about doors and windows? I used to have a malalmute, lots of drool and scratching.

We use a similar type of hammock for the dogs. Got it off Amazon. it has two holes to access the seatbelt latches. We use the full body harnesses on the dogs and a short seatbelt attachment to buckle them in. Keeps them from moving around too much. It sorta helps to keep them off of the windows and doors.

Have you checked out the Duluth Trading Company version? Not sure if it covers sides.

I’ll check it out. Duluth makes some good stuff.

Dog fur on your big Mac is the American way.

I've seen those, pricey, but look well made. Would have tried them if I didn't already have others.

I have 2 that are similar to the Amazon one for both of our Shepherds, got one for each vehicle.
