What kind of car seat protection for dogs you need is very dependent on how your cars seats are arranged. Do you have bucket seat or a bench seat? How about a center fold down arm rest or cup holder? We’ve researched quite a number of seat covers to come up with a solution that fits most cars.
You can get a good seat cover for a reasonable price. It can save you thousands in your car’s value. You still need to train your dog to ride with you in a safe manner. A little time on your part can certainly achieve this.
The first seat cover in the list is for buckets seats. It’s designed to fit most cars. After that, there are covers for bench seats, back seats, and with arm rest slots.
In addition to seat covers you need the protection of car seat belt restraint for dogs
4Knines Dog Backseat Cover with Hammock
Best overall
The hammock design stops a dog sliding into the footwell on a sharp stop, and 4Knines have the strongest reviews of anything on this page. Priced well above the rest, so it is a buy-once choice rather than a cheap fix.
Waterproof Hammock Cover for Car, SUV and Truck
Best value
Does the same hammock job for roughly a third of the 4Knines price. Non-slip backing and rated 4.6 stars, which is unusually good at this end of the market.
Dog Car Seat Cover with Mesh Window
Best for watching your dog
The mesh window is the difference — you can see your dog in the mirror rather than driving with a wall of fabric behind you. Waterproof, and sized for SUVs.
Black Standard Dog Car Hammock Back Seat Cover
Best hammock for back seats
A plain black hammock that covers the full bench. Nothing clever about it, which is the appeal if you want coverage without straps and windows to fuss with.
iBuddy Bench Cover for Car, SUV and Small Truck
Best for kids and dogs
Sold for children as well as dogs, so it works if the back seat carries both. Waterproof and marketed as odour-free, which the cheaper vinyl-backed covers often are not.
Waterproof Front Seat Cover, Non-Slip
Best for front seats
The only front-seat cover here. Worth knowing about if your dog rides up front with you rather than in the back.
