Does anyone know if the fiat doblo dog guard will also fit the family version (2005 pre face lift), with the 3rd row of seats taken out. Or has anyone with a doblo family come up with another solution. I've a largish dalmation and all the available dog cages I've seen don't really seem big enough.

There's a genuine Fiat one on ebay, don't know if you've already looked at these.
I can't see why it wouldn't fit with the rear seats out as the floor and roof space should be exactly the same.

Managed to get a brand new genuine Fiat one of ebay for £30.01 + P&P.
Just fitted it - perfect, even the dog seems happy with it.
