How do you transport your dogs in the rear seat?

[dobermancruiser]

I'm looking for recommendations on what to buy to maintain a clean interior for the times I have to transport our Bernedoodle when he's not in the wife's car.

I don't know how big your Berndoodle is going to get. A large Ruffland fits without having to put down the 2nd row. If you just have 1 dog, you can turn an XL sideways if he's bigger than a large. Keeps all the dog hair, dog drool, toe nail scratches out of your car while taking your pup with you. I replaced the carpet cargo mat with a rubber one, just in case but that hasn't been an issue. You do have to put the 2nd row down for the XL if you're putting a large in there as well.

Also want to add that you can recline the rear seats almost all the way with a Large slantback ruffland. Here’s a Large and an Intermediate (both suv/slantback).

They make plastic molds to match the back of the rear seats and they attach by velcro or hook straps to protect that backseat mesh from fur getting deep into the material. LC seat covers. Pet hammocks...View attachment 42690

Nice.

I wish you’d make an actual second row seat cover for the LC. We bought a Kurgo seat cover for the second row but I really don’t like it. But that’s where the dogs prefer to ride .

If we can find someone local here in Minneapolis to let us pattern their LC for a day, we could design one! but in the meantime, the second row looks VERY similar to the new 2025 4Runner - perhaps it would be a nice fit? Toyota 4Runner Bench Seat Cover

@Canvasback what is the difference with the Utility fabric? there's no details anywhere on your site about it.

Our fabrics in general are an 8oz weight, the Utility Fabric was 10oz, but unfortunately it sold out very quickly and is no longer available.

anyone with Ruffland Kennels.....is it possible fitting two of the large size side by side in the back? I currently have an XL that I have sideways in the back but we just got a new dutch shepherd puppy so I am upgrading to (2) larges. Debating if I can fit two with the side doors or if I need to just go with the front or front/rear doors. Also I would prefer not to have to put the second row down or put the seat backs vertical but would be open to the SUV slant back if it's necessary.
