<p>Reviving this thread AGAIN to give an update and say thank you to DMD and SAX for your suggestions!</p>
<p>The crate is working beautifully. </p>
<p>And, Sax, the Primo Pad you linked to came last week just before one of our weekend trips with Ddog. And he didn’t chew it! No gagging…no damage. We’re thrilled. Of course, we’re somewhat limited in what we can put in the back now…the crate takes up lots of room in the cargo space. But we can squeeze stuff in without it being chewed to pieces. </p>
<p>The Kong works well too…although we need to get the REAL one. We have a cheap imitation with a larger hole in it. He gets so aggressive with sticking his snout in there that he ends up with nasty scrapes. We call it “Kong Nose.” Dogs are so funny. Anyway, we’re out to get the real version today at Petco. </p>
<p>Thanks again for your help! I think we’ve solved our problem. CC is terrific!</p>
