My Chihuahuwa always rides around in the back seat, When I got him I was most worried about his claws puncturing the leather but seems fine, I think the interior is durable enough to handle a dog

I've had a chocolate lab in the past and know that there is quite a toll on the interior....
I have a rottweiler and this works pretty well http://www.petsmart.com/global/produ...xt=hammock&N=2

There is a big fabric cover that covers the entire cargo area, including the sides of the seatbacks. That would be best. I've seen pictures but it has been quite some time since I saw that post. That would work well because even if you get a Weathertech rubber cargo mat, which I would suggest, the sides and seatbacks are like Velcro with lab hair. I know this because I had SANguru's yellow lab in the back of my X5 and there was dog hair all over the the carpet. It's a son-of-a-beesting to clean up.

Try a combination of the cargo tray liner and luggage compartment grill. It will protect the cargo area carpet and prevent your dog from jumping over into the rear seat (you're on your own as far as the window drool and nose marks go, though) Both accessories are available from the dealer, part numbers 51470002726 and 51470004087 respectively.

Our two criminals suggest a good brushing prior to transport. But no bath, please.

Well, my German Shepherds ride in the back as this is the safest spot for them in the truck. I have a the all weather rubber cargo liner on the floor of the trunk, then the full trunk liner that hooks up around the rear headrests, this anchors it very well (also it has suction cups for the side windows in the trunk area), and then a thick comforter.

Just remember, if your dogs are unrestrained on the back seat, this is very dangerous for them and you if they are flung forward........ you will be visiting your friendly neighbourhood veterinarian and local ICU.

Cheers,
