I have a V70 and a destructive Labrador pup. I do have a cage in the back at the moment but this isn't really tall enough and other sizes aren't suitable. What I could do with is an open top pen with sides high enough to prevent him chewing the upholstered sides in the boot, and a gate at the front to stop him jumping out. Anyone any ideas?

Many thanks

Paul

I brought the 31" version of one of these. Fits great, and still leaves me about a 1/3 width of my boot space.

It is roughly the height of the boot opening. Depth is from the load cover right up to the boot door and width about the 2/3rd of the boot.

It fits my 2 dogs in comfortably. A northern Inuit & jack Russell. They have been on loads of road trips and holidays and seem really happy in it.

Did look at one of them Volvo dividers and doors but this was much cheaper and portable

On a lighter note,i once had a black lab who ate two, three piece sofas before he was one,so i took him out in my recovery truck,and he ate the knob off the gear lever,but i cried when i lost him.RIP Henry,thanks for the memories.
