Highland 20045 Black Universal Pet Barrier

Highland 20045 Black Universal Pet Barrier

I installed this in my Mazda3 5 door wagon the day it arrived (which was very fast I might add). It fit perfectly. The height of the barrier was just low enough to fit in my wagon, so it didn't require a lot of adjusting that way. The bars slide out on the sides to fit the width of the wagon nicely. I've had my three Boston Terriers back there numerous times now. No escaping possible! I had looked through different pet stores for a barrier like this, but they were 3 times the price! This is a great deal.

I installed this in a Ford Explorer and I am very pleased.I had an old style wire barrier that was heavy and cumbersome to use.
This is lightweight and sturdy.My shepard mix dog weighs in around 100 lbs. and does not like being caged and he cannot knock it down.
Saves all the work cleaning dog hair off the seats.Well worth the price around 30.00.

I bought this barrier even after reading the negative reviews about it not working well out of the box. Sure enough my akita got through it in about 3 mins. The main issue is with the vertical cross bars not staying in place.

My solution was cheap and easy and does not require you to be a "handyman" as other reviews have stated. I found #8 hose clamps (found in plumbing section of hardware store) makes this barrier rock solid and neither my akita or pit can get through it. $2 fix and only thing required is screwdriver. Hope this helps any of you thinking about this product.

It also provides great visibility while driving and can't beat the price!


Highland 20045 Black Universal Pet Barrier (Automotive)
We adopted an energetic 2 yr. old lab. We travel frequently by car and we tried 'Dog Whisperer' techniques to keep our guy in the back, but it was not working. The Highland Pet Barrier is perfect. It fits easily into our Honda CRV or our larger suv's, Grand Cherokee. It's legs screw in or out to adjust the height. The horizontal arms slide out trombone like and then can be locked to fit the car's width. We attached bungee cords around the back seat head rests to allow us to 'angle' the barrier, placing the legs snug against the seat base, giving our pooch the entire back cargo area. It works wonderfully. No more dog trying to drive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. And the price was terrific! I saw some at 3 times the price. Shpg. was very prompt. If you're considering it go for it.
