If you regularly travel with your dog, a dog guard can help create a safer, more practical space for them in your car. It provides a barrier between the boot and passenger area, helping prevent your dog from moving into the cabin while you’re driving.

But with different types of dog guards available, how do you know which one is right for your car?

The most important things to consider are fit, safety, durability and how you use your boot space.

Travall Dog Guards are designed specifically for individual vehicle makes and models, making it easy to find the right fit for your car. Simply enter your vehicle registration on the Travall website and you’ll be shown the dog guard designed for your vehicle.

Why choose a vehicle-specific dog guard?

One of the most important things to look for when choosing a dog guard is a precise fit.

Universal dog guards are designed to fit a range of vehicles, whereas a vehicle-specific dog guard is developed around the dimensions, contours and features of your particular car.

This means you can benefit from excellent coverage between the boot and passenger compartment without compromising more boot space than necessary.

A vehicle-specific design also helps the dog guard integrate neatly with your car's interior, providing a more secure and professional-looking solution than a generic barrier.

Find the right fit using your registration

Finding the right Travall dog guard is simple.

Just enter your vehicle registration on the Travall website and you’ll be shown the products designed specifically for your make, model and year.

There’s no need to work out which universal size might fit your car - the vehicle lookup does the work for you.

Look for a crash-tested dog guard

Safety should always be a key consideration when choosing a dog guard for your car.

Travall dog guards are crash tested, giving you added peace of mind that they have been designed and tested with safety in mind.

A dog guard creates a physical barrier between your dog and the passenger compartment, helping keep your dog in the boot area while you’re on the road. It can also help separate your pet from luggage and other items stored in the boot.

For added confidence, every Travall dog guard is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Consider how you use your boot

The best dog guard setup will depend on how you travel with your dog and what else you regularly carry.

If your dog has the entire boot to themselves, a dog guard may be all you need. But if you regularly carry luggage, shopping, sports equipment or outdoor gear, you may want to consider adding a Travall Boot Divider or Travall Tailgate.

Add a Travall Divider to optimise boot space

A Travall Boot Divider allows you to split your boot into separate sections.

This can be particularly useful if you need to carry your dog alongside luggage or other equipment. Instead of everything sharing the same space, you can create dedicated areas for your pet and your belongings.

A divider can also be useful when travelling with multiple dogs, helping create separate spaces within the boot.

For example, you could use one section for your dog and another for bags and equipment, making it easier to keep your boot organised.

Add a Travall Tailgate for extra separation

A Travall Tailgate can provide an additional barrier within the boot, giving you even more control over how the space is used.

Depending on your vehicle and setup, combining a dog guard with a divider and tailgate can help create separate areas for dogs, luggage and other equipment, as well as creating a safe barrier that prevents your dog jumping out the boot when it’s open.

This can be particularly useful for dog owners who regularly travel with multiple pets or need to carry lots of equipment.

Choosing the right setup for your needs

There isn't one dog guard setup that works for every dog owner. Think about what you typically carry and how much separation you need.

Travelling with one dog?
A vehicle-specific dog guard may be all you need to create a dedicated space for your dog in the boot.

Travelling with multiple dogs?
Adding a Travall Divider can help separate the boot into individual areas, giving dogs their own space.

Travelling with dogs and luggage?
A dog guard and divider can help keep your pet separate from bags, shopping and other cargo.

Heading out on outdoor adventures?
A combination of a dog guard and divider can help you organise dogs, muddy gear and equipment more efficiently.
