Dog Car Seat Covers & Travel Gear

Everything you need to travel with your dog by car. This collection covers vehicle protection, restraint safety, and hydration on the road — waterproof seat covers, cargo liners, hammocks, crash-tested seatbelt tethers, travel harnesses, and portable water bottles.

What's in this collection

  • Dog car seat covers — bench-style covers for the full rear seat, hammock covers that block the footwell gap, and SUV cargo liners for the trunk.
  • Dog seat belt tethers — adjustable restraints that clip to your car's seatbelt buckle and a harness (never a collar).
  • Travel harnesses — padded, no-choke designs that double as walking harnesses at your destination.
  • Travel water bottles — one-handed dispensers with a built-in bowl for rest stops.

Do dogs legally need to be restrained in a car?

Requirements vary by state. Several U.S. states enforce restraint rules under distracted-driving or animal-cruelty statutes, and an unrestrained dog can be cited in others. Beyond the law, an unrestrained 60 lb dog in a 35 mph crash generates roughly 2,700 lb of force — which is why a harness-and-tether combination is the safer setup than letting a dog ride loose.

Should I attach the tether to a collar or a harness?

Always a harness. Attaching a seat belt tether to a collar concentrates crash force on the neck and can cause serious injury. Use a padded travel harness with a back or chest attachment point.

Seat cover vs. hammock: which do I need?

A bench seat cover lies flat and lets passengers share the back seat. A hammock cover hangs from the front and rear headrests, closing the footwell so a dog can't slide off the seat during braking — better for anxious dogs and long trips, but it blocks human passengers.
