Boot cage for dog?

jagerboy

Anybody have something like this? Have a 3yo basset (who sheds like crazy), and a new(ish) Avensis estate. Looking to confine the dog to an area of the boot, so that I can still use the boot for luggage etc. Don't want to spend crazy money on it though. Cheers.

What about a plastic cover for your boot and/or back seat? The hair just shakes or brushes off. This is an example of what I mean --> http://s147127442.websitehome.co.uk/__oneclick_uploads/2009/06/boot-liner.jpg

Or you could crate your dog in the car, a Bassat would need a decent sized one though so I don't knwo how much room would be left for luggage!

First I got one from Halfords. It was poor quality and broke after a few weeks.

I then got one from www.roofbox.co.uk and its great. Really sturdy & I would highly recommend it. This was the model

Thanks for your help, but @ lorebringer yeah, I have one of those covers for the other car, but a crate would more suitable. @ DBCyc, kinda wanted something more like a crate that wont allow the dog full access to the whole boot. But I do want the crate/gahe to be as big & neat as possible!The search goes on....

Thanks tk123 & TooManyDogs, these are much closer to what I'm looking for. Never even thought of ebay!!

Hey there's actually one in the rewards shop on zooplus - in case you use them and have been saving up your points! I was thinking of getting a crate for our guy after he found his way underneath the hammock and chewed up my lovely mats - the only part of the car that was in pristine condition lol!:mad::rolleyes: I ended up getting a better quality heavier hammock one because I have my laptop bag etc in the back for work and like to have the cargo cover pulled across. Have you thought of a vari kennel - our guy is a golden retriever and they have one in daycare that he sleeps in sometimes - there's loads of room in it for him and they take up less space than the cage type crates. If I was crating him the car it'll be in a vari kennel but he loves gawking out between the front seats so we'll stick to our system for the time being - pupster enters the boot via his ramp and I throw on his seat belt harness which is cliped into the back seat, he then ducks under the open cargo blind thing and into the back seat (it's a split seat so the single seat is down and the double is up), ramp goes in the boot and the blind is closed to hide all my bits and pieces.. He LOVES going up and down the ramp :pac:
