Default How do you put dogs in an A8 ?

Since Audi isn't building a stationwagon version of the A8 (see my previous message), how are you dealing with taking dogs in your A8s ?

I have a labrador and a German shepherd and they make a mess whenever they get into the car.

Any suggestions ?

Default I have a GINORMUS 140lb female shepherd and she fits just fine.

To cut down on hair, I have dog blankets fitted with elastic to tuck around rear seats.

Default Someone on this board previously recommended this

If I didn't have another car for taking our dog to the vet, I'd order one in a flash!<ul><li><a href="http://www.householdgoods.com/dog-hammock-dog-car-seats.html">Doggie Hammock</a></li></ul>

Default I have a collapsable (sp) crate that I got at petsmart.

you can build it once inside the car if it's too big to get through the door. i put a blanket down on the seats.

i can fit a medium sized crate in the back of a 335xi, and i could fit the same one in the back of my old Audi A6 Avant.

check the interior dimensions, and I'm sure you could find one.

i have a boston terrier, and the crate is too big for her, but works. i'm not sure you could fit a large crate in, and put both woof woofs in.
