Good shelving solution that accommodates one large dog?

[Tummler]

I plan on finally adding a shelf/platform system this spring. I am working on narrowing down my options. I figured the need to transport one large dog (somewhere other than the passenger seat) may serve to narrow my options further than any other requirement I can think of. Therefore, this is probably the best place to start my search.

Anyone have first-hand experience with a shelf system that works well with a dog? If not first hand experience, have you seen a shelving system that you thought may excel at accommodating a dog?

If further limitation is necessary, yes, I strongly prefer running a refrigerator and a bit of a cooking area.

Two drawers with cooking stuff, fridge one side on top, seperating wall and dog other side?!?

I guess some more guidance makes sense…
3rd row out, 2nd row out? Foldable 2nd?
What don’t you like with existing solutions?!
How many people beside the dog?

Hi, we do a bunch of dog-friendly systems. Here's an odd-ball one we did for a dual-large-kennel use case. 200 shown here, but 100 is similar. Of course, we also do a more typical kitchen + drawer set up that works well with all but the largest of kennels.

Happy to chat through options if you're looking to go the "buy once, cry once" route.

How large of a dog we're talking here? Because to some people Husky is large, but then there are actually large dogs like Caucasian Shepherd who weigh on average as much as a grown man, meaning they need as much space, hence no cage big enough to fit into the back of a LC.

Right, I am a bit confused too esp with regard to whether the back seat is an option or not. For instance, our dog (65#) just rides in the backseat of my truck with one of those Ruffwear hammock things most of the time, and I have a drawer system and fridge etc in the back back. I also have a Raingler cargo net between the back seats and front seats as a barrier.

Size of the large dog: 100 lbs

Third row definitely out, second row likely removed (may be nice to keep the single seat.

What’s wrong with current options? For all I know, nothing. I am starting my search later this week, beyond searching this site for a discussion of this topic from the dog angle. I floated this question after not finding anything. I’ll follow up with what I find. The example up thread looks sweet.

EDIT: what I had in mind was a drawer/platform that consumed most of the second row and all of the third row, with dog travel accommodations on the platform covering the second row area.
