Dont have dogs but im sure you can use the 3rd row cupholders to hold dog food. Other than that, maybe a weathertech cargo mat.

We have two dogs. Got two leads that plug into the seat belt receiver and to their harness so they stay in the seat and maybe safer in crash.

Weathertech cargo mat to keep the carpet nice, and I keep a collapsible water dish and a bottle of water in the rear door cargo net.

On a similar note, man I wish the cargo area side windows were powered like in a minivan, I'd use them all the time.

Another thing we did for the dogs is have an aftermarket 2 way remote start with 1 mile range installed. It has reporting of the temp inside the truck. The idea was that if we noticed the car got too hot or cold we could press the start button and run the car to help out the temp. In the end we have not really left the dogs much in the car and never for any time where they would have any problem with temp. So for us not so helpful. Might be in a climate where the temp can get real high or low fast.

I have a husky liner (repurposed from my 4Runner, fits fine ). I am also looking for a barrier so that they can't jump into the second row (they've already done this and almost destroyed a door panel). I love that there are vents back there, helps keep them cool on road trips. I also wish the rear windows were powered

When we travel I fold the back seat forward making a platform for a flat board on which I place a semi-large doggie bed. Our two small dogs share the bed and the view.

same here, plus a platform that matches that hight, also great for storing stuff. and I add better tint to block the heat a little better
