So the fiance has a 40-Kg Golden Retriever. As much as I like the dog she's a fur-explosion waiting to happen.

Her last car as was disgusting... fur everything. I'm somewhat of a neat freak when it comes to the cars.

I figure I limit her to the cargo space in the back.I'm thinking about getting the trunk liner to cut down on the fur flying around.

Any advice/recommendations on this?

We have a 50 lb dog and during the hunting season she can get wet/muddy so I have been doing some research on cargo area lines. Not sure where you are from but this company gets high marks from others and they have a cargo liner for the DS...

Ours came with the whole set of rubber liners. The one for the trunk is great in general - I've already loaded it up with concrete blocks, trash and recycling, etc.... easy to pop out and hose off!

Also using the floor one under my daughter's car seat. Perfect fit with high sides - should catch sand coming out of her shoes after the playground

I got both the cargo mat and the second mat for the second row of seats, but we still put down a old sheet under the mats. We also crate our dogs while we travel and they helps to reduce the dog hair.

I've got the full suite of rubber mats - all four seats and the cargo area - wouldn't have it any other way. My Disco would already be trashed without them - muddy boots front and back are de rigueur in my car. Tossed the carpet mats on day one. BUT I have a vault in the cargo area so can't use my cargo mat. Just sitting in the garage gathering dust. Any offers?

Goldens - total hair balls but worth it - keep em in the cargo area and you should be fine. Lots of aftermarket screens to separate cargo area from second row of seats. It can be difficult to find ones that are a good fit. Our panoramic roofs might make that an even greater challenge. Invest in a handheld vacuum that plugs into the car, keep it in the cargo area or spare tire well and you should be just fine...

Which brings me to another question - anybody put a full size spare in their wheel well yet?

We have a little 15lb Boston Terrier. Although they are far from shaggy, their tiny little strands of hair do shed and they are a pain to get out of carpet and other nooks and crannys. But we've had two other fur balls in the past. A Samoyed and a Pom. The Boston is too small to put in the cargo area so we keep her in a harness with a seat belt tether. I also HATE dog hair in the vehicles. So the two best things I've found to keep my nerves from being fried is: Keep the dog contained in one place. Cargo area, or buckle them in the rear seat. Then you just need to simply throw down a sheet. They are better than aftermarket covers imo because they are easy to throw in and pull out and easy to clean. Mats alone are not nearly enough for me. I like the mattress sheet best because you can use the elastic to help secure the sheet.
Good luck!

That's the reality that sucks for our dogs, having to keep them contained in one area for the trip. Best thing we can do is make it as nice as we can for them.

Used to be a detailer and had cars come in with dog hair all over... worst thing to clean up, rather clean up salt stains and just about any winter weather mess you can thing of Lol

Meh...Well we have to stay contained in one place for the entire trip.....why is it so bad for the dogs? Just stop and let them out to pee when you stop to pee and all is good. Sure beats the heck out of staying cooped up at home by themselves.
