Hi Everyone,

We are looking for a new car / van hoping for one with a little more space to fit pebbles and egor in.

Does anyone have any suggestions for anything that would have room for the two of them in the boot / back.

Thanks!!

We've got a Renault Kangoo - seats fold down flat without any fiddling about - we leave the parcel shelf in and we have fitted a headrest dog guard to the front seats. It also has sliding doors.

The perfect mobile dog kennel! Our 2 love it and have to be coaxed out when we arrive. And it is a very reasonably priced vehicle. I know they look a bit quirky but I've overcome that as ours is really comfortable to drive, great visibility all round, and I don't miss my Mini Cooper at all!!! (Well perhaps a little bit, but being a pensioner it's probably a more appropriate car.)

I've got a Toyota Avensis estate, can fit 4 in the boot but with the back seats down fit 6 (5 greyhounds and 1 lurcher) Little Roy sits in the front to save him getting squished!

Ford Focus Estate here, for one 26" lurcher and one 20" whippet.  They've plenty of room and were it not for Mayo's travelling quirks (he likes a lot of space) we could fit in another big'un   We're looking at getting either a Skoda Octavia or Superb next - estate version.

Have a look at estate cars as they tend to have level access into the back, so no lip for the dogs to jump over

Ford Focus estate here too.  When we had just the two greyhounds they fitted comfortably in the boot area - now we have four greyhounds and they fit in comfortably with the back seats down.

An estate, far more room in the back than any 4x4

If you don't want a massive estate we've got a Kia Ceed sw (estate) which has the back seats permanently flat with a guard behind the front seats and 4 fit in comfortably. We love it, it's like a tardis!
