Dog slobber and new Outback

[Zen Cohen]

I drove the OB XT Limited and like it a lot, but I have two golden
retrievers that drool, shed, sometimes get muddy, etc. The cargo area tray
is a good start on containing the mess but the sides/seat backs are carpeted
and headliner is fabric. Other than the dog barrier, Subaru doesn't seem to
make anything to protect these areas. Is there anything available that
won't uglify a new car that I can use to protect these areas and keep the
mess contained?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes. Don't use a Subaru to transport a dog. Use a Toyota or
Nissan. You won't be able to tell the difference between
doggie damage and poor quality.

I have a solution for you.
1992 Loyale Wagon for sale soon, get it as a 'dog car'.

In Australia we have a cover that slides over the back of the back seats and
connects around the head rests of the front seats and forms a 'U' type
protective cover for the seats and floor in the back. The doors and windows
are still exposed however. The material is like a nylon, very tough and
waterproof. I too have a golden retriever and an Outback and it all works
fine. I'm sure they would be available in the States somewhere.

Maybe something like this would help:

or something like it. Just a thought.

I put an old heavy throw in the back seat for my dog and just tuck it
in. It works pretty well. He's a lab mix.

Tie your dog to the front bumper.

I was going to mention the roof rack.

Get a Subaru Baja, put them in the bed. Get a shell if you don't want
them to jump out or be exposed to the elements.

The dogs should be placed in the back seat, and fitted with doggie seat
belts. What's more important, your dogs or your car?

I vote car.

I'd love to buckle my dog up, but he's a very tall 80 pound greyhound
and is physically incapable of getting in the "sit" position, because
he's so tight and muscle-bound. One nice thing about greyhounds is that
they don't drool or shed much fur.

Hmm, that's what Zen Cohen (the OP) should do! Trade his Goldens in for
greyhounds! ;-)
