Dog platform surface ideas

recently built up the dog platform to replace the back seat. I put some industrial carpet back there, but my old boy is having a hard time with traction. Any ideas on more grippy surfaces i can put on?

 

Search for a used tacoma bed mat, or failing that, a high traction gym mat.

 

Carpet tape to hold the carpet to the platform. Assuming the platform is solidly installed.

 

I built a dog platform for my AC, topped with carpet and I also have a cheap blanket on top as well:

 

Put the hook side of velcro on the platform and the loop side on the bottom of your dogs paws. Should work perfectly.

 

The platform is solid. Industrial carpet stapled to it. It just has no grip. I like the gym mat idea.

 

OP: this post is useless without a photo of the "old boy"....

 

Dog tax, pay up op.

 

Are you using the platform as a ramp for him to get in as well ?

 

Old man still loves trucks

 

Nah not as a ramp. I basically lift his rear end in

 

I stapled marine carpet to my platform.

I also cut my platform slightly short so my dog jumps on to the floor of the back and then steps up on to the platform.

 

How thick is the marine carpet? Im thinking the workout mat will give his nails purchase because it can dig in?

 

This stuff is awesome.

I think we have a winner

 

Yoga mat?

 

The carpet I used was fairly thin. It looks like the carpet in the picture in post #1 (minus the Toyota logo).

I was able to wrap the platform and staple it on the bottom.

 

Yah my carpet is thin so he slides around
