The Toyota Rav4 is a compact crossover SUV that is extremely popular here in the UK. It offers excellent boot space, higher visibility and all with the fuel economy of a compact car. However, as much as we’d love to, we’re not here to discuss how great the Rav4 is. We’re here to discuss the different Toyota Rav4 dog guards that are available and what your options are.
Before we delve in, it’s important to note that you don’t have to own a dog to enjoy the benefits of a dog guard. Dog guards are ideal for many applications that involve the need for separating the items in your boot from your passenger seats. Dog guards can be used for less distracting and more enjoyable travel with other pets, shopping bags, luggage, camping gear, fishing tackle and anything else you need to carry in your boot! Let’s get into your options…
Universal Dog Guards
A very popular choice among many as they are readily available across major retailers. The universal dog guard might just be the perfect solution for you and your Rav4. Here are a couple of things to consider:
Cheap
Universal dog guards are fairly inexpensive due to being manufactured from lower-quality materials and because they do not require a lot of research and development.
One-size-fits-all design
Although the one-size-fits-all design has its advantages and means you can transfer your dog guard to any vehicle, the fit is sometimes not the greatest and the product can often rattle.
Dog Guards Direct From Toyota Dealers
Toyota is well known for their reliability in the cars they manufacture so you’d imagine their own branded vehicle-specific accessories are reliable and of a high-quality too.
Toyota has a couple of options available on its website including the dog guard divider and the half height dog guard. Both of these are designed to fit some of the bigger Toyota models including the Rav4. The fit and quality of these products will be good,but this comes with a hefty price tag with guards starting at £200.
