Taking your dog in the Jeep.

In my JLU I use this hammock thingy I got from Amazon. It keeps my two 70lbs dogs in the back and protects the seats.

Aargh, I'll never be able to look at a Chili's restaurant sign without thinking this now.

Do yourself a favor and avoid the produce dept.

2-door Jeep with rear seat removed. Perfect for 2 border collies

my doggo stands on my center console, which gives him a good view out the front windshield.

In my JLU I use this hammock thingy I got from Amazon. It keeps my two 70lbs dogs in the back and protects the seats.

Hammock-style covers can be pretty useful.

I once had an 85lb Golden Retreiver have explosive diarhea in the back seat of a previous auto, while I was eating a delicious lunch at a Vietnamese place. I think he only weighed 75lbs afterwards.

Most of the restaurant and staff came to the front window to laugh as I started the cleanup, but the majority of the excitement was contained by the hammock. The dog had stayed crouched, much chagrined, at the one unaffected corner, so was pretty clean; just got a quick wipe down. I bagged the mess and folded the hammock into a plactic bag to hose down later. Windows down for a few days after though. Got a durian ice-cream shake for the ride home, so barely noticed.

But that's why Little Dog is in a bucket-style seat now. Make sure they are waterproof.

Duluth "mud room". Protects the seat, rear seat back and front seat back. One of the things that separates this from other brands is that it also has sides to protect the door panels. Heavy canvas type material. Easy in, easy out. 80lb labrador, no problems.

Seats folded down, and in addition to the usual ‘protect the upholstery’ coverings — a memory foam dog bed with side bolsters all around so the dog doesn’t slide around, large enough that he can lay down and sleep comfortably on long road trips.

We have a rear seat hammock and harness:

I think my dog is more excited to go wheelin than I am.

Pretty much the same setup. I've got a blanket down on the floor to minimize mud/dirt cleanup. There's also a dog bed that pretty much covers the dogs' riding room. It goes wall to wall, and with it against the front seats, the back edge is about halfway back. My wife put it back there one day being funny, and the dogs immediately laid down. Clearly, they approve of a comfy spot to lay while they ride, so that's how we do it now.

And yes, on a side note (someone mentioned it) they are tethered to the Jeep for safety.

I’ve tried netting between the front seats with moving blankets on the rear seats, folded down, dog bed tossed in. I’ve tried the hammock setups with side door protection. I’ve tried the strap that belts the dog in to the seat belt to limit movement. All of this and what I’ve seen other in this thread are good solutions. Dog size is everything.

What I didn’t account for was the anxious nature of my 80lb Labrador. She insists on being up front! So much so that while netted in the back she ate through several portions of the net in seconds AND completely through the rear seat belt straps. Both of them! Elapsed time to accomplish the destruction? The five minutes it took me to drive to our vet for her annual visit. OMG! She’s otherwise the mellowest dog but rides in the Jeep flip her out…SMH.

Kurgo rear seat hammock for my German Shepherd. She's only a little over 50 pounds, so she's not one of these 90 pound monsters. I've had her and her chocolate labrador friend in the backseat lying down or standing up with no issues. It comes with a retention strap you loop the seatbelt through and then secure to a harness to keep the dog from flying in the event of an accident.

Example!

I use the Dirty Dog Pet divider with Hammock. Been very pleased with it. It also come with door protecters too. I like the net divider can stay up and the hammock comes down quickly if need be.
