I don’t even have my 991.1S yet but I’ve spent the last couple of days looking for a dog seat rear cover.

It’s too bad all the generic ones on Amazon don’t fit due to a lack of rear head rests.

I’m surprised no one has made them yet. There’s a very apparent market here.

Great picture.

Funny, as I'm searching for used 991s, I immediately exclude white interior, to be more dog-endurable.

I'm thinking for road trips I'd pad the back seats for comfort, but frankly as soon as I get out of a car (even just to let her out), she's jumping on both front seats. I just dont want to fight the nature of an active black dog vs white interior.

Otherwise I find the white interior beautiful.

Ugh- just so sad when they leave us. My condolences, it is so hard to get over them.

We use a safety harness that clips to the seatbelts for our dogs (one small, one large)

Has enough play to let them lie down or sit up comfortably, while keeping them from becoming a hazard to themselves (or the driver!).

From Newport CA to Chicago IL in back seat with our little guy. No problem. He did tell me to turn off the sports exhaust.

Here's Maya in our 991.2 GTS. She goes on longer trips with us and is real comfortable back there. She's pretty small so it works easily with our car. I used blankets and a little foam to give her a flat soft platform.

Trying to convince Ms. Saydee she’ll like the GTS just as much as the Raptor. Both she and myself are a little apprehensive.

This is an awesome thread, I love to see dogs enjoying a 911, particularly medium and larger breeds. I was considering doing a road trip from Michigan to Florida in my 991 C2S with my 54lbs Labrador, Holly, but instead decided to put the car on a transporter and Holly flew down with me. She loves car rides but is accustomed to riding in a GMC Yukon or the backseat of my A8L with an Orvis seat protector that clips around 4 headrests and covers the backseat, like a hammock. I didn't think I could create a space comfortable for her in the 911. It is incredible seeing what can be done with some foam, blankets, and creativity! I think Holly and I will have to get the 911 sorted out on some short trips then go for the big road trip spring/summer when I bring the car back north. This thread is a great resource hopefully I'll have some pictures of Holly motoring with me in the 911 to share soon.

Note, he has a proper dog seat cover now.
Which dog seat cover are you using? I’ve yet to find a decent one for the 911

I just land up using large bath sheets - they're easier to clean and fold up to a nice soft surface...

The LargePuppy and I are going to be driving to Tail of the Dragon this summer for the big gathering in June.... beautiful weather in a 911, driving with my bestie... it's a dream come true!
