The ZooKeeper Adjustable Dog and Pet Barrier, for car, SUV & truck

This adjustable dog barrier is held in place by flexible cords looped around the front headrest posts, so no drilling is part of the job. The metal gate spans 42 to 61 inches across and stands 28.75 inches tall, which sets the width of vehicle it covers. It is made for two-door and four-door cars as well as SUVs, vans, wagons and extended cab trucks.

What owners report after fitting the barrier

Installation comes up as straightforward in a number of comments, and some owners note that the barrier holds the dog in the back seat. Two reviewers point out that the front seats still move with the barrier attached.

Metal gate, movable seats and a matte black frame

• The gate is built from heavy gauge metal tubing, with a black matte finish over the frame.
• Width runs from 42 inches to 61 inches, so the same barrier covers a compact car and a wider SUV or truck cab.
• The barrier tilts, slides and reclines along with the seats, and the seats can be moved without taking it off.
• Each seat can tilt forward, recline backward and slide on its own while the barrier stays attached.
• Protective caps sit around the tubing where it meets the seat backs.

Checking the width before you buy

Measure the gap between the two front headrest posts: it needs to fall between 42 and 61 inches for the barrier to span it. The barrier is 28.75 inches high, so check that height against the space between the seat and the roof line. It is shaped for the front seats of a vehicle and is not designed for use in a house or outside a car.

Fitting it to the headrest posts

Thread the two flexible cords around the headrest posts and set the connection points to the width you need; the cords adjust to hold the gate in place. No tools are needed, and nothing is drilled or fixed permanently to the vehicle. Once the cords are set, the seats can tilt, slide and recline with the barrier still attached.
