BushwhackerDeluxe Dog Barrier 56" Wide for Trucks, Large SUVs, Full-Sized Sedans – Backseat Divider, Mesh Net Screen Shield for Cargo Area Behind Front Seats, Vehicle Gate for Dog Safety and Travel

I have owned several different vehicle barriers for dogs. Based on my initial impressions, I think this will be the last one I have to buy! I have a 70lb border/golden mix who thinks he's a 10lb lapdog, and a 30lb Australian shepherd mix that might as well be a cat b/c of her ability to get in and out of things. Back to barriers: had the metal one w/ horizontal rods (horribly annoying, as it rattles whenever the vehicle is moving, and my dog could poke his head through and pant and drool all over the back seat of my Jeep). $80 wasted on that. I've had a few of the mesh ones with bungee cord type ropes to secure it. Those sag, and no matter how tight you pull it and secure it under the seats and up above the headrests, the dog can still get over it and underneath it, in between the seats. Totally ineffective. Even though they are cheap it's still a waste of money. Don't even bother. I also have the hammock-type ones that go across the back seat and attached to the front seat headrests and the back seat headrests. Those are great at protecting the seat but they do not keep the dog from jumping all over inside the vehicle & going to the front seat. So,the Paws &Claws deluxe barrier: I had ordered this particular barrier last week, right before this past weekend, when my smaller dog decided to eat a full box of donuts from the front seat and also chew the plastic top off of my shaker bottle, to eat my morning breakfast shake. Needless to say, after all this in 1 day, when this barrier arrived Monday, I could not wait to try it out!!! I installed it in my 3/4 ton pickup truck, and unfortunately one of the pieces of velcro partially ripped right away as I was stretching ilthe barrier: b/c you have to pull it really really tight to get the rods in the couplers and have it be sturdy but I think I can fix that velcro. There's a lot of velcro that holds the rods in place and it seems very sturdy so I installed it anyway. It installs easily and securely to the headrest and bottom of the seats. The straps addre adjustable, with metal he says that have teeth in them so it will hold the straps securely whereas other barriers I've had the straps constantly slip and then the barrier sags. My dogs could not get over it, under it even though one of them tried to figure out how to get underneath it. Mesh seems very sturdy! Not just cloth: it seems to be treated with some plastic so it's pretty sturdy. Much better than other barriers I've ordered. I got the 56 in wide barrier and it works well in my full-size pickup truck w/ bucket seats. Yay!!!!!! Now I don't have to worry about my dogs getting in the front seats w/ muddy paws or eating food or drinks that I've left in the front seat. Seems like it will also contain most of their shedding hair to the back seat, and I have the seats covered so it will be much easier to keep my truck clean in the front. I think I'll see how this one continues to work and then probably order the smaller one for my car.

We have a Jeep Cherokee & two dogs that we take with us everywhere. We go to the dog park at least once a day with them.The Pros:Easy to InstallSturdy & quality materialKeeps the dogs and yourself safer in case of an accident or having to slam on the breaks. The dogs won't fly & knock you in the head.Keeps pet hair off the backs of the front seats (our dogs like to run around and rub against the back which embeds dog hair in the car seat fabric)Keeps pet hair much much more contained to the backThe Cons:The air vent on the middle console is now blocked by the solid fabric across the bottom. This is a problem for someone in a warmer climate who is transporting their dog after a fun run in the park. Our dogs are always tired and panting after the park and I like to blast the AC for them. one of their favorite places used to be sitting with their faces against the air blowing out the middle console. I'm going to see if I can either use a flexible hose of some sort and somehow tie it to the airvent and bend it down and under the screen. If that fails I may just cut some slits in the fabric. It's more important that the dogs get cooled down that to have a nice looking screen. If the middle section had some mesh material here it would solve this problem not just for me but I'm sure for nearly everyone who has an SUV or Van and the middle console has airvents.One other con... the bottom clips aren't long enough to clip. The top two clips went around the head rests just fine but the bottom two are too short. I have the bottom two somewhat secured around a bar I found when I stuck my head to the floor and looked up under the seats (Make sure you don't attach these clips to any of the moving pieces of the seats), when I found a secure place to attach them, the clip ends were too far away from each other to clip together. The material is taught enough that I just wrapped the clip under and over again. It's not 100% but it works.I gave it 5 reviews despite the cons because I've come to realize there's no such thing as perfect when it comes to dog restraining/car devices. I've tried using a harness which has a seat belt that attaches to the harness and then locks into the seatbelt but my dog hates the harness, I don't like putting it on him in the hot weather (it's padded for his protection but also adds warmth) and even on the tightest setting, the leash was still too long and my dog still ran around on the seats and got hair everywhere & bumped us with his nose.All the pros were really important for me and they hit the mark on those. I just need to figure out the airvent situation and I'll be as happy as my dogs after a day at the park.

It was easy to assemble and install. Very good quality and fits just right in our GMC Sierra pickup. We took a long road trip with our two German Shepherds yesterday and it was great. Once they realized they couldn’t stand on the console to watch where we were going, they both settled in and slept. It’s much safer for them and us

Fits 2016 Toyota Sequoia Platinum with the captain chairs and middle console really well. Giving it 4 stars due to the rattling sound that starts after some miles and bumps, as other reviews has stated. Also only 4 stars due to having captain chairs. As expected when it's installed you cannot move the captain chairs enough for anyone to climb in and out to back seats. Well small kids can slide through to the back seat but that's it. Otherwise keeps the dogs in th back very well, and the mesh doesn't effect the clarity of looking out the rear window to much. Overall very satisfied for what it's designed to do.

Great product. The Bushwhacker product does cost a little more than others, but you get what you pay for. Sturdy and well made build, easy assembly, quick and easy install (or removal). I used this back seat barrier in my 2023 Ford F-150 Tremor SuperCrew Cab.

I highly recommend this item. This is a good size pet barrier and is worth the money. For dogs it would be perfect. We have cats so you will need to fill in the sides with hard pillows or something to keep them from getting through the small open spaces. There also isn’t any place in the barrier that you can reach your hand through and give your critters a reassuring pet. (I am going to make a little velcro flap so that I can pet them while driving) This worked well in our Honda Odyssey 2010 van and our Ford F-350 truck. It did not fit in a Ford 1998 Explorer though.
