Bringing your canine companion along for every adventure is one of the joys of pet ownership. However, the excitement of a road trip with your dog can often be followed by the less appealing reality of dog hair, dirt, and slobber all over your car seats. Fortunately, a high-quality car seat cover is the perfect solution to protect your vehicle from the inevitable wear and tear, ensuring you can always bring your pup along for the ride without a second thought.
Kurgo offers a diverse range of durable car seat protectors designed to cater to every dog’s preferred seating arrangement, whether they favor the front seat, the back seat, or even the cargo area. All Kurgo seat covers are constructed from robust, stain-resistant, and waterproof fabric, providing a reliable barrier against moisture, dirt, and especially dog hair. They are engineered with multiple attachment points for a secure fit, include convenient openings for seatbelt access, and often feature storage pockets to keep your dog’s toys and treats organized during your travels.
Choosing the Right Kurgo Dog Seat Cover
The ideal seat cover for your vehicle largely depends on where your dog typically rides.
For Front Seat Companions
If your dog enjoys the view from the front passenger seat, a bucket seat cover is an excellent choice. These covers are specifically designed to fit snugly around the bottom and back of individual seats, offering tailored protection for this area. While intended for the front, they can also be used effectively on single seats elsewhere in the vehicle.
Protecting the Back Seat
For furry friends who prefer the back, Kurgo offers popular bench seat covers that provide comprehensive, door-to-door protection. These rugged, waterproof covers create a dependable barrier between your seats and any mess your dog might bring in. Available in various styles to suit different travel needs, they all feature multiple attachment points—at the top, middle, and under the seat—to ensure the cover remains firmly in place. Most standard bench seats measure approximately 55 inches wide. For vehicles with longer rear seats, Kurgo also offers extended width bench seat covers.
Another versatile back seat solution is a dog hammock. These covers offer all-around protection, extending from the back of the front seats to the front of the rear seats, safeguarding against paws and nails. The hammock design effectively prevents dogs from tumbling into the footwell and acts as a barrier, deterring your pup from jumping into the front of the car. Many of Kurgo’s dog car hammocks feature center zippers, allowing you to fold back half of the hammock to accommodate a human passenger. Alternatively, a half hammock option keeps your dog contained to one half of the back seat, leaving ample space for a person to ride along comfortably.
Securing the Cargo Area
If your dog’s domain is the cargo area of your SUV or hatchback, Kurgo’s Rover Cargo Cape is designed to keep that space free from dirt and grime. This cover lays flat in the storage area and includes multiple attachment points for a secure fit. A center zipper allows for easy folding of seats when needed. Furthermore, a waterproof bumper guard conveniently folds out to shield your bumper from sharp claws when your dog is getting in or out of the vehicle.
Additional Protection: Car Door Guards
Does your dog love to lean out the window, enjoying the breeze? To protect your door panels and windowsill from scratches, dirt, and moisture, consider Kurgo’s car door guard. This accessory is an excellent complement to any car seat protector for dogs. Locking tabs are designed to fit securely between the window and windowsill, keeping the door guard firmly in place.
