Some dogs love the car. Some shake, pant, drool or get sick before you've left the driveway. 😟

We can't promise a calm rider. But here's what owners of anxious riders told us after they changed the back seat. Under each name is the product they reviewed.

"He couldn't see where we were going"

Nathan H. figured it out:

★★★★★
When I would take him for a ride in my Ridgeline before it seemed like he had anxiety. I would put the seats up and make a bed for him in the back and still anxious, so I had the idea of maybe it’s because he couldn’t see where we were going, I was right!
Nathan H. Verified buyer Review of the Hard Bottom Seat Cover
★★★★★
Now, since I installed the new bed he can see what we are seeing and doing he is much more comfortable and happy.
Nathan H. Verified buyer Review of the Hard Bottom Seat Cover
Thank you for designing such a comfortable place for my guy to sit and watch the world go by.
Nathan H. Verified buyer Review of the Hard Bottom Seat Cover

The anxious, car-sick traveler

Nancy I.'s dog used to get sick from nerves. Nancy is honest about why things changed:

★★★★★
My dog is a very anxious car traveler, often getting sick from being so nervous. Since using this seat protector, I have noticed him becoming more relaxed and, so far, no sickness. I attribute this to the fact that having a firm surface under foot seems to make him feel more secure.
Nancy I. Verified buyer Review of the Hard Bottom Seat Cover
★★★★★
Anyway, be it the seat protector or him just getting more use to traveling in the car, I love that he is fully enclosed and my doors as well as seat and foot wells are protected from any mishaps.
Nancy I. Verified buyer Review of the Hard Bottom Seat Cover

Steady on her feet

★★★★★
It makes such a big difference for my golden doodle riding in the car. It definitely helps her to feel more stable on her feet & to not feel so anxious riding in the car.
Bernadette C. Verified buyer Review of the Hard Bottom Seat Cover
★★★★★
Perfect fit and a cozy ride for my dude who gets a little car sick. He has been comfortable and has ridden easy since the moment of install.
Candace R. Verified buyer Review of the Hard Bottom Seat Cover

The dog who has to be touching someone

★★★★★
My dog has car anxiety and has to be touching someone. We assisted him into the vehicle and was happy to have air flow, able to sit ir lay down, or be able to get petted. My wife was happy cause she didnt have to sit in the back seat.
Christopher B. Verified buyer Review of the Hard Bottom Seat Cover

“Will it fix my dog's car anxiety?”

We can't promise that, and neither could Nancy, who wasn't sure if it was the cover or more practice. What the cover changes is the floor: firm and flat instead of a sling, enclosed, with a window to the front. If it doesn't work for your dog, you have 60 days for an exchange or refund.

And the ones who finally lie down

Some owners added our plush bed on top of the cover. These two reviewed the bed:

★★★★★
He's never slept the whole way on a 2 hour trip before, but he did both ways and seemed to love his little comfort zone.

Danielle W. Verified buyer Review of the Plush Backseat Bed (made for the cover)

Quick rundown of the cover 👇

  • A hard bottom that bridges the footwell, so the whole back seat is one flat, firm floor
  • A mesh window to the front, so they can see you
  • Zip-down side flaps that cover the doors
  • Waterproof 600D Oxford fabric, hose it or wipe it
  • A free dog safety belt in the box
  • The plush bed: choose the bed setup in the order box

Why it works

The back seat looks flat. Your dog knows it is not.

The bench ends, the footwell drops, and a soft hammock sags right where your dog wants to stand. The Team K9® cover rides on a hard bottom, so the whole back seat becomes one steady floor.

Front seatFootwell gapBack seat

Hard bottom: the floor holds flat, even when they stand.

  1. They slide into the footwell The hard bottom bridges the gap, so they can stand, turn and lie down on one flat surface.
  2. Hair and mud end up everywhere Waterproof hammock walls keep the mess on the cover. Hose it off, wipe it down, or machine wash it.
  3. Nails scratch the seats and doors 600D Oxford fabric covers the seat, and zip-down side flaps cover the door panels.

“She doesn’t stumble around in it like the other one when we are driving.” Michael H., verified buyer, on switching from a soft bottom hammock

Questions before you order

Will it fit my vehicle?

If your back seat is a bench, almost certainly. Large fits sedans, 4-door coupes, SUVs, crossovers, hatchbacks, minivans, vans, station wagons and Jeeps. Extra-Large is made for extended cab, crew cab and full-size pickups, light to heavy duty. For captain's chairs or bucket seats, the Single Seat Cover is the better match.

How big a dog can it handle?

The hard bottom is rated to support up to 250 pounds. Customers ride with 100 lb shepherds and Rottweilers, and with packs of smaller dogs side by side.

How do I install it?

Clip the straps around the front and rear headrests, tuck the seat anchors into the seat crease, and zip the side flaps. It installs in under a minute.

How do I clean it?

Hose it off, wipe it down with a cloth, shake it out, or machine wash it, then let it air dry.

Can I still reach the seat belts?

Yes. Seat belt openings give you access to the buckles, and the free safety belt clips to your dog's body harness to help limit roaming. Use it with a properly fitted body harness, not a collar.

How fast does it ship?

Most U.S. orders arrive in 3 to 8 business days after processing, and tracking is sent when your gear ships. Shipping is free on this cover.

Why not just buy a cheaper hammock?

If your dog rides twice a year on dry pavement, a cheap hammock may be enough. If they ride weekly, shed, get muddy, or you drive a truck or SUV with a real footwell gap, a fabric sling can sag and wear out fast. The hard bottom is made for the dog who rides every week.

Do I need the bed or just the cover?

Choose the cover if protecting the car is the whole job. Choose Cover + Bed if your dog rides often, naps in the back row, or needs a softer layer on top of the hard bottom.

Can two dogs ride on it?

Yes. It is one flat platform from door to door, rated to support up to 250 pounds in total. Customers ride with two and three dogs side by side. One safety belt is included, so add an extra belt for a second dog.

Is the safety belt crash-rated?

No. The included belt helps limit roaming when it is clipped to a properly fitted body harness. Do not clip it to a collar. It is not crash-rated and does not replace crash-tested restraint gear.
