suv car seat cover

[clearcreekranch]

Do you guys recommend a hammock style car seat cover or one that just covers the seat? I would like to let Wolf ride in the back seat of my FJ Cruiser some, but his hair sticks to the fabric. If I am understanding it correctly, the hammock style keeps the dog from falling on the floor. How do I know if it will support 80#s?

I have the hammock and Gunner is...ahem..over 80lbs.
But, and it's a big but, I STILL get fur on the seats and floor somehow. My hammock is fitted so it sits on the seats, so it's not really supporting his full weight.
I just cleaned my car since I had to have my nephew in the back seat this weekend. I plan on getting a seat cover in addition to the hammock. That cleaning nearly broke my feeble back.

I really like the ones from Duluth: Dog Beds, Dog Seat Covers, Dog Toys - Duluth Trading Company

We have the deluxe one for our full size pick-up. It's plenty strong enough for my 80 lb Niko plus 40 pound Rosa. And it does a great job of keeping the hair off the seat, and is very easy to take out and shake off.

Not washable?

I bought the Deluxe one also from Duluth Trading Company and heard about from the forum. It works great, I own an element and have two dogs. This is the best one I've ever had.

No, it's totally washable. I'm just lazy.

I have seen them in the Orvis catalog. We ordered the non-hammock style back seat cover and it makes cleaning so much easier. Easy to put on and take off.

Thanks all. Trying to make up my mind. Wolf rode in the back seat yesterday(used a sheet) and did fine. He usually rides in the cargo area, but sometimes he starts barking and just gets so excited. He rode in my pickup a few days ago in the back seat and didn't make a sound, so I thought that I would try the backseat in the FJ. It's very dog friendly, but I have the washable cloth seats and hair sticks.....so thus the need for the seat cover.

I like thicker and waterproof type covers myself. I have those wet muddy dogs from all the hiking and so a sheet would just not work for me.

I drive a Jeep, and what I ended up doing was this - I removed the rear seat bench, seat bench mounts, and seat belts, then purchased a rubber stall mat from Tractor Supply and cut that to size to cover all of the rear of my vehicle. Works great for us and doesn't attract hair. Plus I can use a hose to rinse it.
