Recommend me a dog car guard/ grill - or crate

[Solo2]

I have a VW Polo and need to accomodate new puppy Rollo, in the Polo - in the boot of this hatchback.

Although still the size of a large teddy bear, at 8 weeks and three days, Rollo will grow to be a full size golden retriever. I can't for the life of me work out what size travel crate might fit my model of car and so am now thinking of a dog guard that is easy to fit at the back.

What would people recommend - that's strong and durable and would fit my car and ideally easy to buy through Amazon?

Made to measure dog crates here

I have a VW Beetle with a whippet who must travel in the boot (no space on the back seat). So far we have managed OK with him in a harness which is attached to a permanent metal loop in the boot. Although a dog guard would be easier, at least he is secured in the car and safe.

Thanks Minimu and Unseen The made to measure car crates sound good (although expensive) but the website suggests that it might take up to 3 months from ordering to get one. I'll see if I can contact them directly.

In the meantime, Rollo will have to be in the cat carrier for a bit longer!

We've got one of those universal sets of car bars in the Astra - wouldn't stop a determined dog trying to drive the car, but is enough of a visual deterrent to keep woofbag in his place. In the world's shittest Micra that I have to drive during the week (because hubby cheated and played the height card meaning I get stuck with the purple rollerskate) I've got a harness and a clip into the seatbelt socket which means he can sit on the back seat but be restrained... couldn't get car bars to comfortably work in that car at all. It looks flipping ridiculous - this Scooby Doo sized dog sat chilling on the backseat of a Micra though but he can't get forward and disturb the driver... can however sneak a nose through the gap if I dare try to carry a Macdonalds on the passenger seat at the front!

I drive a Micra, and my dog travels in the boot. We have removed the parcel shelf, and found a dog guard that fits. Our dog is a cockapoo and he fits easily. In fact, we sometimes go away for the weekend, and put a suitcase in with him, and he snuggles up beside it. He does not need much room.

He has eaten the carpet from the inside of the boot though .

I have a dog guard in the boot of my jeep, but when we change cars/keep the jeep (depending on my mood) I have decided to get a proper tailgate guard fitted, so I can leave them in the car safely with the boot open.

Barjo do them as well as the link mini posted.

Although the jeep door splits to open, I darent leave it open, incase someone steals my dogs or they manage to jump out and hang themselves somehow.

...I'll add that the boot of the Micra is full of the myriad of shit that a supply teacher generally carts around in case they're asked to cover some completely obscure topic with no work left!

Have got some cheapy throws with holes cut in them for the seatbelt clips to poke through and it does a serviceable job - dog seems to prefer riding in it to in the boot of the estate car that's our "proper" car - but still would rather sit behind the steering wheel given half the chance.
