PetSafe Happy Ride Tubular Metal Dog Barrier

First off this thing comes with horrible instructions that does not fully tell you how to put everything in. After spending 40 minutes fighting with it in my suburban my dog went right through the side because it’s not wide enough to cover from side to side. Even when you extend the bars it doesn’t go out enough. Absolute complete pile of junk! If I would not of taken so long to open this and put it together I would’ve sent it back!!

While reviewing other similar products to use to keep our dogs safely contained in the cargo area of our SUV. This one had a better price and quality. It installs easily and is very strong. This is a must for 3 bulldogs weighing 50-60 pounds each. I has three double rails that you can extend and place as needed, very important if your second place seating is captain chairs and not a bench so you need to have a partition you can place lower. I like that fact that once you lock it all in place and set up to conform to the interior dimensions, it has quick release clips so each partition remains as set.

Easy to assemble, just follow the instructions. We used this behind the front seats in a Fort Explorer. We ended up making the vertical bars shorter to fit because the seats are not completely flat when down but that was no big deal. We carry two GSDs but they are not interested in pulling it down but it sits behind a liner we have which has 12" sides so the pups don't see the entire barrier. Your mileage in this regard may vary !

The barrier gives our puppy the freedom to move around the back of our suv yet keeps him from jumping into the front. He enjoys being able to look out all the windows and never complains. He always cried when we put him in a kennel.

We had to keep tightening the bolts. Also we were missing one of the six bolts when I called the company itself to get the missing bolt they said I would receive an email to see if they can send me a bolt or replace it. They didn't so I went to Home Depot to get something close to it. It works fine. At least I can keep her in one place! ;)

Didn’t work for my car. I have a Toyota scion and this is too tall to fit.

While the assembly was easy, it’s not such a great quality for the price and my dogs ave been able to slide the bars regardless of how tight the bolts are. Did not fit great in an Escalade. I wouldn’t buy another one.

It seemed intimidating to install at first. Turned out easy and sturdy.

My lab is 82 lbs it works pretty good on keeping him in the back of SUV

This gate works great in my car. Keeps the dogs where they belong. But assembling it or moving it is so terrible. The bolts on the threaded adjuster are near impossible to move. Even with grease. Needs two people. But once in, works great.
