My daughter uses a hammack-like device for transporting dogs in her Audi A4 sedan. I don't know how you fasten it into the car or whether it would even be adaptable to an SC but I know that she got it at a pet boutique. The car interior seems to be fine so it must be effective. I have a Greyhound myself so I haven't really given a lot of thought to squeezing him into my SC. Good luck with the Schnauzer.

No but I'll tell you this, the passenger air bag light turns on if he gets in my wife's car!!LOL!! He is for sure the economy size!! I knew he was going to get big but I wasn't expecting over 100lbs. He is my second wiem, my first was only 75lbs and lived 15 years. I got him to watch over the wife and daughter when I am out of town....which is a lot.
Here's a recent pic of him at home in Virginia!!

My dog Milo, a 45# Wheaten Terrier, rides up front. I tried the rear seat and he just wasn't having any of that. I bought a microfiber blanket that matches my Camel interior, slit two tiny holes in it and pop the headrest and slip the rods through the slits and it is great! It is also easy to launder and cost me all of $39. I saw a lady in Napa, CA last Summer who had the same sort of thing where she tied two strips around her headrests for her two Dalmatians.
I checked out the usual suspects when I was looking for something - al the catalogs and online sources and just did't find anything I really liked or thought would work.
Milo wears a harness that is secured with the seat belt running through the back of it and loves to ride with the top down. Everyone loves that wheat colored shagmeister - he makes a great interior accessory.

I also have a Wheaten Terrier and she rides politely in the front seat on a microfiber slip cover I got that fits most bucket seats. It has elastic to slide over the back of the seat and under the front. Best of all is the seat part is paded so her nails don't dig into the seat. I sometimes even put a doggie pillow with more filling ontop of the seat cover for extra protection.
I also have a 53lb. Field Spaniel who tends to slim things and I wanted no part of that in my SC. He was used to riding in the back seat in a soft crate so I got one to fit my SC back seat to match color of interior and he jumps right in and is happy as a clam! Yes, it is a tight fit but I researched and got one that pops open so it can be molded to fit the back seat without having metal bars to hold it up. Easy to set-up and take out (I usually do with the top down).
All dogs should ride in such style, huh??!!

I love the idea of a forum for dogs of the SC!! Anything with dogs goes over big. Also nice to see another Wheaten owner here. Actually my female, Chessie, is my second Wheaten so for about 3 years I had 2 Wheatens before my male Wheaten passed. A two Wheaten home was a real trip - and sometimes I would take care of a friend's Wheaten so I would have 3 Wheatens under one roof!!
My front seat cover is several years old and it doesn't have the tag saying who makes it, however, I think it came from the place which makes the donut beds which is called Bowser. They have great sueded material - I have a couple of their beds also.

I remembered a few older threads on this topic that might have some ideas.

Another reason a dog is better than a wife? Put your dog in the trunk of a car and then put your wife in the trunk of another car. Let it sit for four hours, open them up and see which one is more glad to see you.

Big Dogs and SCs
We may adopt a large handicapped Labrador mix. She has a club front foot and the other three limbs are not normal. I haven't tried to get her in my SC yet. I don't think she could comfortably get into the back seat. The passenger seat may not be big enough for her either. Thinking their may be a way to make something for the floorboard that would extend the front seat so to speak. Any ideas? Anyone else have a large dog and how do they ride in your SC?
