Review on Bushwhacker® Shelter Restraint Carrier Barrier by Ruby Thomas

We have two fairly large dogs so we bought two of these for my Ram 2500. If you're like me and don't like the look of the cap, or maybe you can't afford it, then this is the perfect solution. When I inspected the parts prior to assembly, I was impressed with the quality of the materials. The gray fabric is very durable and reflects the sun's rays instead of absorbing them. (I was looking at another truck canopy from another supplier and it was black which absorbs sunlight and makes it hot for dogs! Hey?! Does that make sense?! Not to mention it's more expensive and not as portable was like this.) The mesh is great and not only provides great ventilation (obviously) but also blocks some of the sunlight and provides some shade. I can say they used a high quality and durable cushion covered in the same durable gray fabric that reflects sunlight as the roof. Inside it looks like a thick yoga mat. I also liked that the tent poles that support the roof can be pulled out and replaced if they break. The instructions are very easy to read and follow. This is a great design and very easy to assemble. It only took me 10 minutes! The metal tube gives it a very strong structure. I pre-installed it in the truck and was very satisfied. They are very tight and very safe. The next test will be if they can handle highway speeds during our 8 hour hike. Another review said yes. On the plus side, knowing how strong and reliable they have been in the truck, I have no doubt they will. Having said that, I'll be sure to post an update so you know my own experience. So far this is an amazing product and I would 100% recommend it. I would also like to mention that they have excellent customer service. Unfortunately, and through no fault of their own, the box had a small hole in one of the corners and the leash/line was missing. I emailed them about this on Sunday and the first thing they did on Monday morning was email me to apologize and let them know they had already sent a replacement. Wow! As a side note, this is a very affordable solution to giving your dogs the shade they NEED while traveling. DO NOT let your dog(s) suffer in the hot sun! I had no idea this product existed but now that I know and have it I will spread the word. Especially when I see a dog panting in the back of a truck with no shade, idiot!
