The first vet visit is when you find out the back seat was not made for a 70-pound passenger.

You worked for the car. You still want the dog beside you for the park, the vet, and the ride home.

A hammock catches dirt. The hard bottom changes the ride.

Drag the orange handle. The soft hammock drops into the open footwell. The rigid platform reaches the front seatbacks and turns that gap into usable room.

I absolutely love it. Gave my five dogs plenty of room to lay down and one dog got car sick and the mat was very easy to rinse off and wipe dry. Excellent quality product

We just got a new to us Laramie with leather seats. We love to travel and this provides perfect comfort and security for the German Shepards plus room for the Jack Russell! The drool covers for the doors are perfect for our fancy truck

Seat protector

Lori Spitzer · Reviewed in United States on Jul 02, 2026

I am real happy with this seat cover The supports are made out of pressed wood instead of plastic and we had no problems with it holding up to our 98 lb dog on a 8-hour trip and every day use since then. The boards come out easily to wash the cover. Highly recommend and will buy again if it ever wears out.

Questions

Will it fit my car or truck?

The 54 × 25.6 in supported platform is designed for rear bench seats in cars, SUVs, and trucks with accessible front and rear headrests. It is not for front seats or two-seat vehicles.

How much weight does the hard bottom support?

The honeycomb hard-bottom panel is rated for up to 350 lb when correctly installed. That is a product load rating, not a crash-safety certification.

What if it does not fit?

Contact us within 90 days of delivery. We refund the amount paid for the eligible protector, and you keep the protector. No return shipment is required.
