Travelling with a dog in the car will be safer for all concerned if you install a barrier to prevent them from roaming freely. We test a selection to see which ones are barking up the right tree
TESTING PROCESS
TO PUT THESE
dog guards to the test, we had the help of Luther, a nine-year-old blackLabrador-Staffordshire bull terrier cross. Weighing 35kg, he promised to be a challenge for even the sturdiest of barriers.
We installed each dog guard in a Skoda Superb Estate using only the instructions available in the box. After adjusting them to suit our test car, we used our own body weight to see how weak or strong they were. And as always, price was factored into the final rankings.
