Carrying dogs in a Scooby saloon
 

Hi all,

Its looking like I will need to chauffer my two (medium size) dogs using my Scooby, now initially I thought I would need to change my saloon for a wagon in order to do this on a regular basis. However I got thinking and realised I might be able to carry them in the boot with the use of a dog guard with the rear seats folded down. 1 problem, is that the rear seats don’t fold down! I believe that wagon seats do fold down, so could in theory fit these in order to run with the set up I describe. I am not sure if the rear seats folded will give enough natural light though.

Clutching at straws I know but have any other saloon owners got round this? (I suspect not!)

I may have to bite the bullet and swap for a wagon!

not just remove the back seats for a while until you sort something out?
I dont think Wagon rear seats will work in the saloon, and I know for difinite Saloon seats wont sit into my wagon without major work!!!

I went to pets at home and brought a rear seat sheet. Its just a thick sheet that covers the whole of the back of a saloon and rises up inbetween the front sears to stop the dogs trying to get into the front.

That worked for my Basset Hound...

Now I have a Wagon though. Its a good short term option but for frequent journeys it gets annoying setting it up repeatedly.

That's the main reason I bought a wagon, is it a hammock you bought? As I belive that's the best option for you ATM.

Yes, its like a hammock but saggy enough to rest on the seats rather than suspending the dog.

Legacy GTB has a dog guard roll as standard! :-)

Looks like a good idea and may be just the ticket :)

How did you attach it inside the cabin as there are no headrests? Did you rest it on the back seats?

I think that's more like this

I was thinking more like this one

Mine rides shotgun with her head out the window.

My wife stays at home.

Pop my shepard on the back seat job done,

I got a wagon instead of a saloon for this reason . But if you worried about them jumping all over the place in you saloon then I can recommend the dog harness with seat belt attachment .

Thanks for all the input its been helpful - at least i am now confident i wont need to switch to a wagon :)
