After testing this dog car hammock, we’ve also reviewed other pet owners’ opinions and many agree that this is one of the best car seat covers for dogs currently available. The design isn’t only reliable and sturdy, but looks luxurious and fits well in most vehicles.

Deluxe Quilted and Padded Dog Car Seat Cover
f you’re interested in a two-for-one deal, the Deluxe Quilted and Padded Dog Car Seat Cover does double duty as both a car seat cover and a cargo area liner. Using the built-in velcro, fold the liner in half to use it as a front-seat cover. If the front seat is full and you need the backseat for more passengers, the cover can be transferred into the cargo area of your vehicle, so Bruno can still come along for the ride without leaving a mess behind.
This car seat cover is all about extra coverage. Not only does it have flaps on each side, it covers the entire floor of the vehicle and the backs of the seats in front of the bench seat, too. If you’ve got a super friendly pooch who loves being social during trips in the car, you won’t have to worry about a wandering puppy because the additional front cover stops the dog from being able to jump up into the front seats to be closer to you. That double coverage ensures you won’t have dog hair all over the backs of your seats when Spike inevitably tries to, too.

URPOWER Pet Seat Cover
Here is another very popular option among pet owners on Amazon. This dog seat cover for cars is a black color only, hammock-convertible and it measures 54 inches by 58 inches. Its price is in the mid-range and remains a good deal for owners on a budget. It is made from thick and water-resistant polyester, quilted and padded for comfort. After half a week’s rides, it stayed perfectly in place thanks to extra strong seat anchors, security handles, and non-slip rubber netting on the reverse side.
Two large openings are provided for car seat belts. As with the others, the hammock feature is very useful and always appreciated. It keeps dirt and debris off the seat fairly well, and we didn’t find anything on the floor after some driving. It also seems to be sturdy enough to prevent small or medium dogs from falling or rolling off to the floor, especially on sudden stops and turns (however, we didn’t test this particular aspect).
The material of the URPOWER pet seat cover is very comfortable and the padding feels nice. For the price, it appears to be durable enough, and it’s definitely resistant to moisture (drool and spilled drink). Interestingly, it somehow cleans off much easier and quicker by wiping that most other best car seat covers for dogs we’ve tested.
