jamesanddean Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 We have a new car that has a leather back seat and need to buy a car seat cover so that our Goldie doesn't scratch the seat. In our last car we had fabric seats and placed a pet seat cover and towel down which worked ok but wasn't perfect. With the new car we want to find something that is very sturdy and provides good coverage of the seat and seat back if possible eg strong PVC or similar? Does anyone have any recommendations on products we should look at? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canisbellum Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Canvas seat covers, I Black Duck are supposed to be good. I have some cheap eBay canvas covers and they are working ok. Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwynwen Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 back seat buddy http://www.petavenue.com.au/showproducts.php?rangeid=1 I have leather seats - we're using the back seat buddy (bought 3 cars ago) with towels underneath - the cover doesn't quite go to the edges (an inch or so) and I have the towels hanging over the end of the seat which protects that bit. The towels are needed to stop the cover sliding on the seat when muggins puts his feet on the suspended bit. If I wanted an actual seat cover I'd be looking at the black duck ones .... after all the hay crumbs on the driver's seat yesterday I think maybe I should get them for the front .. (no experience with them but they look good - and they seem to understand about airbags - important in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You can't use harnesses with a back seat buddy though? I've had leather seats before and just used a $20 cover from an auto shop. Worked perfectly and my dogs could be safely strapped in . Some sand did you down the holes where the belts plugged in , but that is a small price to pay for their security IMO .

Guest hankodie Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 My MIL bought me one from Aldi and it's surprisingly sturdy. It's a hammock type thing that snaps onto the headrests and has velcro holes so you can still attach the car harnesses. It fits the backseat of my golf perfectly but it might be a bit too small depending on how big your car is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaznHotAussies Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have this one for my Avalon (2004 model with velour seats) http://www.kurgostore.com/dog-hammocks/wander-hammock/ It's great! I got the khaki one because it matches the car interior better than black and hopefully isn't as hot as the black would be Looks after the seats and the hammock design is great for encouraging the dog to just stay at the back it also has gaps for the seatbelts if you want to put a harness on your dog. The only problem I have with it is it doesn't quite go all the way across the seat, I think my car might be a bit wider than some cars, though. I get around that by popping a towel on either side just to protect the sides of the car seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
