I have two pups. One sheds a ridiculous amount merely because he's old and that's what happens. He makes the inside of the Jeep so filthy. The seats will be covered and the worst is the carpet that just traps the hair. HOWEVER, I love my pups. Dogs and Jeeps are a great combination. PLUS, Jeeps are meant to get dirty in many different ways. Let your pup cruise in your Jeep. It's not that big of a deal. Perhaps the hair will actually make you wash your Jeep -- that's my biggest excuse.

My German Shepherd sheds like crazy especially going into Summer when he loses his winter coat. There was hair all over the back and with the top off it would blow all over the place.

My remedy: Ripped out all the carpet.

Solutions:

The cheep option: (as a joke!)
1. Get a corrugated box
2. form it
3. punch vent holes
3. place the dog inside
4. duck tape the top
5. load the "package" in the back of your Jeep
*repeat those steps in revers order when you get to your destination

The practical option
1. get a dog crate!
- it is much safer for the dog to be in a dog crate when you drive!
2. place a nice blanket in the dog crate
3. load the dog crate in the back of your Jeep
4. get the dog inside the crate
*repeat those steps in revers order when you get to your destination

If you keep the dog is in the crate, you will have less dog-hair in your Jeep

thats funny that you posted that pic, i just saw that crate in a pet store when we were out of town. i think that would work because it looks like the dog gets in from the side, so i can fit it sideways it the jeep. Were my crate opens from the end and is to long to close the tailgate!!

Poor dog!?
Are you serious?
Did you know that in case of an accident, dogs that are not in "Dog-Crate" are more likely to get killed!?


Dogs can't wear a seat belt you know...
but you can, and you should secure the "Dog-Crate" to your Jeep!
