My Labrador sheds like crazy and used to leave the back seat absolutely covered in hair. This cover catches everything and wipes clean in seconds. Solid purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Will this cover fit my SUV as well as a standard sedan?
Yes. The universal fit design, with adjustable straps at both the front and rear headrests, accommodates most cars, bakkies, and SUVs. The side flaps fold down to cover the seat edges, which helps bridge the sizing difference between vehicle types.
Is the hammock suitable for large or heavy breeds?
The cover is suitable for dogs of all sizes. The 600D heavy-duty woven polyester is built to handle the weight and movement of larger breeds without sagging or tearing. For very large dogs, just ensure the headrest straps are tightened properly so the hammock holds its shape.
What is the cover made from, and is it safe for my dog to lie on?
The cover is made from 600D woven polyester. It is soft enough to be comfortable for your dog while remaining tough enough to resist claws and heavy use. There are no sharp edges or hardware that your dog would come into direct contact with during travel.
How do I clean the seat cover after a muddy trip?
For light dirt, a damp cloth or a quick wipe-down is usually all you need. For a thorough clean, remove the cover and machine-wash it on a gentle cold cycle. Hang it to air-dry rather than putting it in a tumble dryer, as high heat can affect the waterproof layer over time.
Does the non-slip backing work on leather seats?
The non-slip backing is designed to grip fabric and leather seats alike. On very smooth leather, it helps to ensure the headrest straps are adjusted snugly so the cover has less opportunity to shift. Most owners find it stays in place reliably across both seat types.
Can I use this cover with my dog's harness or seatbelt clip?
Yes. The cover does not block access to the seatbelt slots. You can thread a dog seatbelt clip or travel harness through the cover to keep your dog additionally secured during the trip, which is always a good idea for safety.
Does the hammock completely prevent my dog from reaching the front seat?
The hammock-style design creates a raised barrier between the back seat and the footwell, and the front headrest straps form a physical boundary. While it is a strong deterrent, a very determined dog may still attempt to climb over. Pairing the cover with a dog travel harness gives you the most reliable setup.
How do I store the cover when I'm not using it?
The cover folds down compactly and can be stored in your boot, in a storage bag, or in a cupboard at home. There is no rigid frame, so it takes up very little space when folded. Just make sure it is fully dry before you store it to keep it in good condition.
