I figured I would start a new thread about how dogs and Rivians work together. I would guess that at least 75% Rivian owners have at least one dog they take with them on trips. Many have 2 or more and that means on average there is at least one dog per Rivian family on a per capita basis. Here is my 90 lb. Catahoula Leopard dog "SOOKIE" and her cage in a R1T back seat. This is a set up to allow her easy access to the top of the seat and not crowd her in with the seat folded. I though of removing the seat bottom but that is still a big jump up and you loose 2 seating positions when the dog is not tripping with you.


These dogs love going places in the R1T. From L to R: 68 lbs, 85 lbs, 56 lbs.

Best backseat protector for the R1T? is there one folks prefer that doesn't fully block the air vents to the back seat while still shielding the dogs from going to the front seats? I've got 2 60# pittie/rescues plus a 5 month human baby.

I've used this one for our 65 lb lab / pit mix. She loves it specifically because it does not block the vents so she'll lay her head in the middle looking at the vents.

Anybody have any issues with the seats holding up to dog claws? We've got a weimaraner and I have tried to avoid taking her in the R1S so she doesnt accidentally rip it. I see a lot of you use covers, but not that practical since the kids sit in the 2nd row.

Some seat covers have pass-throughs for seatbelts, you might look for one of those. The brand I would typically recommend for that still doesn't seem to have support for Rivians yet.
