I decided to sell my Rufflands and install a variocage into my Telluride. I had a lot of questions and it’s a big financial decision. I was amazed at the responses that came on weekends and late hours just when I was online. There were answers but no pressure.
A friend helped me to install my cage but now I think I could do it after watching. Seeing her set up when she was over I decided on the corner bowl too, and am still going to order the cover that comes up to protect the front doors as I often use vent locks when I train to let more air in. For this reason I love that the doors also lock! I decided on this set up for safety and also for air flow but mostly for more room for my big dog who had ACL surgery. I want her to be comfortable. I use the 60/40 split and she also has more awareness that her best friend my smaller dog is beside her.
I love that I can open a side door and see them from either side and that they are no longer inside solid walls of crates. And I have more side and head room in my cargo area even though I installed the double XXL than I had with the crates. I can see out my rear window again! Altogether so happy with the kind customer service and the products. Installing the corner bowl today.
And PS my set up doesn’t rattle at all. I heard this may be an issue but it may have helped that my friend who helped install it has one and is an engineer. She made sure the angles and fit of all screws and holes were perfect and threaded well. No rushing and no forcing the set up but making sure it was aligned and thus everything is fit nicely and secure.
I highly recommend this - I have a pricey car, my dogs mean the world to me, so the cost is worth it and looks better in the car too. I was fortunate to have the Rufflands to sell that hold their value to offset the cost too. Still I would recommend it’s worth a small savings account to invest in this set up. I teach dog tracking classes and travel a lot on highways and to other provinces for tracking and sheep herding too. It’s worth it to have a good set up. Thank you.
