We spend a lot of time and money with our cars, and pets love to go with us. After all, who doesn’t like to take to the open road, let our worries slip away and hang our head out the window panting? However, the cars and the pets need protection from each other. dog car covers are a great idea but are sometimes costly. Carriers are economical and easy to use but are uncomfortable to the pets. Looking for a way to protect your car without spending the money on a car seat for your dog? You might want to look into investing in a seat-cover. I’m going to explain the different types of seat covers available on the market today. A little later, I’ll walk you through the steps necessary to properly install a dog seat cover in your car.
Dog seat covers are not really a new thing, people have been doing this for years, the only real difference is that companies are just now beginning to catch on to the popularity of people taking their dog everywhere and have started to cash in on the idea.
Most covers will install within seconds and involve very little if any tools at all. Most of these applications slip on over the seat and attach to the headrest on the driver and passenger side. Many people don’t realize that seat covers actually serve a dual purpose. One, they protect the car from any scratches with the dogs nails. Second, they prevent the dog from soiling the car by losing control of their bladder. Lastly, they help to protect the dog itself from any potential injury.
One of these add-on items is called a pet barrier. After all the other reason for dog transport accessories is for safety. However if you decide not to use an actual car seat then you should invest in a barrier to separate the front of the car from the rear of the vehicle.
If for example you have to slam on your brakes, you do not want your dog coming up front with you. For one reason, there is the chance that the dog could hurt himself. Second, nobody wants to hit the brakes hard and wind up with a Golden Retriever in their lap. Barriers are great for keeping the pet isolated in the cargo bed if you have guests in the car that might not be comfortable around animals. Many Municipalities are now requires the use of seat attached restraints or barriers when having a pet in the vehicle.
Installation of the cover is usually simple, below is an example of how easy a cover is to install. Most covers come with simple to follow instructions and include diagrams to help assist you, should you find yourself lost.
The first thing that you will want to do is to measure the area of your backseat. Most covers just attach to the headrest on most cars and SUV’s. Next follow the instructions very carefully, this will prevent injury to you, your car and of course your pet.
Most dog car seat covers sell for around $50 to $100 depending on the brand and the type of application you are installing. Another factor on price is the vehicle in question. A compact will cost less than say an SUV with minivans and pickups falling between. Have fun taking your pet with you and be safe!
