I know I bought the WRONG car for having a dog, but hey, I just couldn't deal with the soccer mom SUV any more, I had to get the IS I have always wanted!

So, I'm wondering if anyone here transports their full size dogs around in their IS? He's a golden retriever.

I was thinking of just putting a really thick blanket down in the back seat. I want to make sure the seats are protected and the dog doesn't claw the leather..

Any suggestions/ideas?

Get one of those doggie seat belts, not sure how big they make them though.

Thick blanket should do the trick!

This is the best way to bring the dog and he never touches the car seats. You can also use it in any vehicle. Works GREAT!

I need to get some thing like this too. An American Eskimo does not work well with black leather interior. Thanks for the options, Debonair.

I have a painters tarp from Home Depot, it was cheap and thick enough that my Cane Corso doesn't hurt the seats.

cut his/her nails and brush his/her hair as much as possible before getting in the car, then buy one of those things up on previous posts

I have a medium sized australian shepherd. What I do is put her carrier in the backseat and she just sit in there.

1. doesn't mess up the interior
2. she won't be running around
3. loose hair is mostly contained

that's my solution, but if you have a larger sized dog, a carrier might not fit in the backseat.

i have a 17lb dog that doesn't shed. i have him in a doggie seat belt and tell him to not move. the only thing he might do is get up and slobber on the windows lol

great tips!!

Maybe you can ask your dealership if they can special order you one.

That's awesome, looks like there are quite a few options. My dog likes to move around a lot, so I definitely need something that is attached and stays put. I like the schnauzer in the photo, so cute!
