Best price: £69.99

After the initial, tricky installation, this guard won us over with its unique feature that gives you access through the guard even after it’s fitted. The sliding panel enables you to secure a dog in the boot before opening the tailgate, to stop them running on to the road. Once the guard was built it was secure.
