Pros: really portable, easy to fit
Cons: pricey
"This dog guard was a great buy. Fits into our Ford Focus really great using the extensions and would be easy to remove and use in our Punto with just the main piece. Was really easy to fit, only taking about 10 mins.
Would have been a bit too pricey at the original price but at the price I paid I think it was a bargain.

"Tried another dog guard from Argos which just fell over when you touched it. This product is excellent. It was easy to install and can be transferred easily from my partner's car to my car. Very strong - will not move. I feel that my dog Poppy is now safe to travel in the car. Excellent product"

"I absolutely loved this dog guard from the start. It fitted easily, and more importantly it stayed put until such times as I wanted to change car,and then it was simplicity itself to remove and re-fit. Yes, as other reviewers have mentioned, it is a bit more expensive, but when I add up the cost of all the other, cheaper dog guards I have tried, the ones with the poles which never stay in position and take up half the dog's space in the boot, then the price doesn't seem much at all. thankyou for making my life with my dog much easier!!!"

Pros: easy to fit, aloows the centre seat belt to be used
Cons: price
"Easy to fit but unable to do this exactly according to the instructions or there'd be little of the Guard above the level of the seats with a great gap to the roof. But it works and we can still use the centre seat with its 3 point harness in our Galaxy. Too expensive even at the sale price. It does mean we don't need the cage anymore which is a bonus."

"I have a Mondeo estate and this guard fits it perfectly, doesn't waste boot space and my dogs can't knock it over or anything, it's very discreet and even means I can still have the load cover fitted at the same time! Easy to fit and very good value."

Pros: easy to fit, versatile, good quality
Cons: usual price is somewhat higher that other designs.
"I actually purchased the guard for my son and not for myself, so this review is based on his feedback which was very positive. He said that it was good quality, very easy and quick to fit (he has an Astra) and in many ways a better option than those guards with legs that need to be tension-fitted to the floor and ceiling of the boot space. I must admit that I thought the usual selling price was a bit steep but I have rated the value good because I purchased it online on a special offer."

"Was over the moon with my purchase. In the past I've bought universal ones, spend ages putting them up only to fall back down when dogs get in. This however is ideal took 10 mins to put up in the dark and is still there weeks later. I have a Nissan x-trail and it fits in perfect. I also have 4 lively Springers and it hasn't moved, brilliant buy for that little bit extra money !"

"I recently bought this and fitted to my Renault Clio. This dog guard certainly lives up to the reviews that I read before purchase. The guard fits my Clio perfectly without the need for the extenders to be fited. A bonus is that we can use it also in our other car - Vauxhall Astra using the extenders. We fitted it in 5 mins and no chance of our boisterous terrior puppy knocking it over as it fits perfectly. Well worth the money and a lot cheaper than getting one from Renault or Vauxhall."

Pros: quality., easy fitting
Cons: price too high.
"Very good quality dog guard and easy to install. The optional side guards are a good idea and can be fitted if your dog is particularly determined to climb over.
The fitting to headrests is very secure and avoids the need for metal legs intruding into the rear load bay. The only niggle is the price, which seems high.

Pros: easy to fit
Cons: bit pricey if pay full price
"Having spent 2 hrs trying to fit a different dog guard from another company, 10 minutes total fitting time from opening the box was brilliant. This is so easy to put together and fit into my VW Golf hatchback. With no legs to assemble, it gives my large dog, loads of room in the bootspace. I used both side panels to give a couple more inches as I have a determined dog. Would definitely recommend but feel it's a bit pricey for what it is. Overall tho, a great buy."

"Does what it says it does with no fuss. No too bad to install; ended up doing it in the dark the night before a long trip. I was worried about rattling, but there is no noise from the back. Great that it doesn’t interfere with the retractable shelf in our estate. Good flexibility so we can move it to other cars, and can keep it when we upgrade."
