DC SB owners with dogs

I got 2 labs that stay in the back seat but it sure gets furry.

 

anybody ever take their dogs with them while there wheelin? ive never done it not sure if thell be ok just chillin in the back seat. there little daschunds and i have one of those back seat hammock things if that helps. let me know what you all think.

 

Wasn't a choice but back seat down them on top.

 

have a DCLB, but out dog rides in the back seat. We picked this up and it seems to work well:

Max rides shotgun unless I have a passenger

 

In our access cab taco we use a moving blanket (quilted style) with the seats down. 3 labrador-mixes can settle in OK, plenty of room.

We were using one of those accordion sun shades across the back to attempt to keep the hair off the cloth part of the back rests. It worked well a few times but if they get restless then not so much.

previous truck had a Leer cap and they rode in the bed with a rubber stall mat down for comfort & traction.

but like someone above said, better to harness them in if you can - for your safety and theirs.

Mine go wheelin' with me all the time. I make sure to take them out of the bed on the really steep climbs or more challenging spots since they've almost been thrown out, lesson learnt. I'm almost ready to buy a topper since i can't stand the hair in the cab anymore, but until then they'll continue to ride in the bed around town/off road or in the back seat where i made a platform for them.

 

i have 2 big dogs (both over 65 pounds) and right now they ride in the back in a crate. we only have 1 crate, and even though it's big, they both barely fit. so right now we are looking for another option

 

i have two male great danes one 135lbs. and one 125lbs. they both ride in the bed and love it.

 

My Boxer rides in the back-seat always. I covered the seat w/ a fitted sheet and it works fine for me. Eventhough I have a cap he gets seperation anxiety back there so I let him in the cab. Doesn't shed too bad either.

Gylar - that is a sweet platform you made there, Kudos

 

mine get seperation anxiety also but i just open the back glass for them. one will fit in the back seat but they both cant fit so the ride in the bed. they dont mind it at all as long as they get to ride.

 

Where did you find the back seat pad like this? This will be perfect for when I throw my toolboxes in the back seat area.

 

I just built it using some plywood, carpet and a good stencil. I'm still using it 2 years later.

 

I've only had my dog in my truck once, and it was in the back of the cab with the seats folded down. I quickly learned that doesn't work well without some sort of modification as he slid back and forth like a bowling ball. I used to have him in the bed when I had a truck with leather seats, but he likes it better in the cab.

 

I put my GSD in my cab.

 

get a piece of carpet and put that down. Works great
