Riding around in your
Subaru
with your dog in the backseat is usually fun for both you and your canine friend. After all, many dogs enjoy riding in the car, letting their tongues wag out the window as the wind hits their faces. If your pet is one that likes to roam around the car and get in your way while you're driving, though, then you'll need to find a safe solution
.A dog barrier allows you to keep your pet in the backseat. It prevents him or her from wandering up front and trying to get into your lap while you drive. You just need to select which one fits best for your Subaru Outback.
Jumbl pet dog barrier
Sir Doggie
lists the Jumbl
brand as a top choice for dog barrier abilities. It's fully adjustable so it can fit any size vehicle. With heavy-duty material and a steel frame, you can rest assured your dog won't be able to get through it. Some people have noted, however, that extremely aggressive dogs may be a match for the barrier. Let Jerry find your price in only 45 seconds

Guardian Gear vehicle barrier
The
Guardian Gear
version also uses steel. Caps on the ends of the poles prevent damage to your Outback's interior fabric. You also have the option of opening it vertically or horizontally.Some say the bars are too wide for small dogs. If you have a toy poodle, for example, she may be able to push right through. Use it for medium to large-sized dogs only.

Steel bars aren't included in the
Bushwhacker
dog barrier, so your car feels less like a police escort for your pet. The outer frame is metal, but the rest of it uses tear-resistant mesh. It takes just minutes to install. The downside to this one is that it isn't adjustable. You'll have to be sure your vehicle can accommodate it before you buy it. You also won't be able to reach through and touch your pet to calm them as the barred versions allow.
Rabbitgoo dog barrier
The
Rabbitgoo
brand offers a well-rated dog barrier option. With nearly 4,000 ratings surpassing 4 stars, it's no wonder this choice made the list. It's been upgraded to ensure extra security for you and your pet. Two sets of nuts, screws and fixed plates help keep it in place well.The only downside to this dog barrier is that it won't work if you have fixed headrests. You need to be able to adjust the headrests to get this barrier in place and make it work for your Subaru Outback.
What are some additional pet travel tips?
Having a barrier in the vehicle isn't the only thing you can do to make traveling with a pet more worthwhile. It's also wise to pay attention to the weather when you're deciding whether your dog can stay inside the vehicle or not.
It may be better to put your pet on a leash and bring them inside with you if they're permitted. At the very least, make sure to leave some water in a dish for them, and keep the window down a bit so they're less likely to get overheated.
You should also limit travel time to start. Get your dog used to riding around safely for a few minutes first. Over time, build up their time in the vehicle until they're used to riding for several hours. You'll have a better chance of making it safely to a further destination.
Your Subaru Outback has plenty of space for your pet. With a barrier in place, you can be sure your drive will go smoothly. Just in case, make sure you're set up with worthwhile insurance through
