Dog box alternatives

[Dan Newcombe]

Barjo are quite good but expensive and don't actually save a lot of the dirt getting into the car as they are a cage - don't rattle though and dont close off the back of the car quite the same as a solid walled box.

Trans K9 do half boot boxes as well so you don't lose all your storage space - however you are still blocking your spare wheel if it is under the floor (as you do with any boxes / crates) - i know from experience.

I had a trans K9 and although it did stop you using the boot for pretty much anything else, it had dogs in it every day for 3 years and i still only lost about £100 off the new price when i sold it. It also stopped a lot of the dirt getting into the car itself.

What happens to the dog if you are in an accident? If you run into the back of another vehicle at a fair speed where does the dog end up, probably through the windscreen after it has broken your neck!

And your insurance possibly void too for not having the dog properly restrained

Not to mention breaking the law too

Teach the dog just to sit nicely in the boot without a cage, been working for me for several decades

That is one bloody old dog. any tips on getting one that is only a few years old to just sit in the back?
