Anyone have any input to best truck topper for dogs? Want good ventilation but also access to bed. Doesn’t seem like thats an option.

Ideally provides shade and better temperature management during winter.

What do you guys like?
 
I have an ARE topper. It has a screen in the middle of the side doors I can open or close. Side windows open up so I can access the bed of the truck too. It was the best option I found. Picture isn't my truck but off the ARE website that shows side windows. I have a sensor in the back of my truck inside dog kennel that provides temp information to my phone. No guessing on temps.

I have an ARE as well. It is remarkably well built. My dog does not spend a ton of time back there, but it does have screens on the sides for ventilation as necessary.

(Later addition) I did get the factory carpet interior when I ordered it. My dog does not ride in the back, just gear.

I also have an ARE canopy. Not happy with it at all. It is either dusty inside when it is dry or leaking water when it rains. Mounting rubber seals have been replaced all but side windows. Good thing my dogs are not transported in the cap.
 
I have a Leer 100 R I believe. Side windows tip up for box access, slider windows with screens for ventilation, The installer did his best to plug all holes in box for dust prevention and also installed the tail gate dust proof seal, You will never stop all the dust especially with side windows open even a little bit which they should be with a dog or dogs in the back. Make sure to get the carpet lining, condensation can be bad,
 
I sealed all manufacture holes in body to prevent dust leakage and like you I purchased a tailgate dust proof/dust resistance seal. There would be no reason to open side windows. My dogs are not transported in the back. I do have the carpet lining on the roof and sides. My previous Leer cap was much better keeping out the dust and water. I think They are now under ARE. Brentbullets thank you for your suggestions. Monty
