The Outward Hound backseat hammock, seat protector
I recently received this seat protector from our new sponsor, Kyjen, who make the Outward hound line of products. Outward Hound is all about getting out and having fun with your dogs, and protecting your car too. When you travel full time like we do, a lot of time is spent in the truck. And that means, when you have a fuzzy dog like Torrey, dog hair, lots of dog hair. The seats in our truck are fabric, mostly because I have a real dislike for leather seats. Admittedly, they aren’t as easy to keep clean. We started out with a packing blanket in the back seat to protect it, that was a mediocre solution since it moved around and they are pretty big to just throw in a washing machine. I then made a seat protector from some canvas I had. I put straps and buckles to keep it in place, this worked a little better, but it was hard to keep in place, and got dirty real fast.
And then we got the backseat hammock from Kyjen. It’s made of strong nylon material, has straps to keep it in place, and even has velcro openings for seat belts, or if a person wants to ride in the back. The nylon is super easy to keep clean, the dog hair doesn’t stick to it, so I can just wipe the seat, and that’s it.
This plastic disk thing, not the official word for it I’m sure, goes in between the seat bottom and the back. It holds the cover down in place really well.
The seat cover can also be hooked to the front seat head rests to become a barrier between the back and front.
We have been thrilled with the Outward Hound backseat hammock, easy to use, easy to clean, and protects our backseat.
Be sure to visit Kyjen for more information.

that looks great but what do they have for a dog that will only sit ON THE FLOOR in the back seat of the car? I am NOT kidding! lol

I purchased some inexpensive Tv canvas cargo dog seat covers for our two dogs who ride in the back seat of our car. They slip and slide, I washed them once and they came out fine. There are places for two seat belts. Their nails punched holes threw the canvas. Imagine what our seat would look like without them. The one big Aussie has to stick her head out the window . The mini Aussie drools when he gets car sick a little. I really like the covers just for the granddaughter who makes a mess in the car. The back of our front seats get covered with hair but what do you do?.
That new seat cover looks pretty nice. I was wondering…you mentioned that you don’t like leather seats, but have you ever had a car with odor and water resistant seats like you see in some SUV’s (Wrangler, FJ Cruiser, Element)? I was just wondering because I’ve been thinking about a new care for a while and was hoping to get something that works well with my dogs.
