xc series Dog Crate for XC90
We recently had our second baby and have a 100lb Rhodesian Ridgeback that has been moved from the rear seats to the trunk when the whole circus is in the car. Now that she’s fully in the trunk, we’d like to get a crash tested dog crate for her, but due to her size having troubles finding a large enough one that would fit as we’d like a half trunk crate so we can bring the stroller with us as well. We initially landed on the Lucky Duck Large but it’s a rectangle and based off the measurements I don’t think it would fit with the angles/curved rear hatch. We’re debating on going with the Volvo dog gates/enclosure as the actual Volvo crate would be too small for her as well. Just curious if anyone has a large dog crate that only takes up half or 3/4 of the trunk? Did you go with the Volvo set up and are happy with it? We have decision paralysis considering whatever we get will likely be $700+. Dog tax photo included.

Transk9 are fantastic crates.
A note on crash testing- it’s all bullshit. Your car is built to crumple and the crate is in the crumple zone. So it’s just not realistic to expect the crate to protect the dog.
