Get the hard bottom cover
For an older dog, a car ride can mean slipping off the seat or getting stuck in the gap between the seats. Judith M.'s dog had more to deal with than most.
Judith wrote to us after the first ride:
The dog that's now using the seat cover suffered a stroke and can't walk. She rode in the SUV using this for the first time, sitting up for 2 hours.
What made the difference, in Judith's words, was what was under her:
She loved the hard surface and used leg muscles to push herself up and hold herself in position.
And the dog riding next to her still had space:
There's enough room for the second dog as well. We really love the product
A regular hammock hangs over the gap between the back seat and the front seats. This cover puts a hard base across it, so a dog rides on one flat, firm floor.
The hard bottom bridges the gap between the back seat and the front seats, so your dogs ride on one flat floor instead of a sling.
They help reduce shifting on your seats, so your dogs have a steadier spot to ride.
Protects against scratches, accidents, car sickness, dog hair, muddy paws and slobber.
The hammock shape keeps messes inside, and the front mesh window lets air through so your dogs can breathe and see.
It comes included, to help limit roaming when it is clipped to a body harness.
Large fits most standard cars and SUVs. Extra-Large fits bigger trucks. Both are for bench-style back seats.
What it looks like
The hard bottom is rated to support up to 250 lb, and it bridges the gap so there is nothing to slip into.
It installs in under a minute with headrest straps and zippers. To clean it, shake it out, wipe it down, hose it off or machine wash it.
It fits most cars, trucks and SUVs with a bench-style back seat. Large fits most standard cars and SUVs, and Extra-Large fits bigger trucks. If the size is wrong, the exchange is free within 60 days.

The base is firm. That's what makes it a steady floor, and some owners of older dogs put our plush backseat bed on top. Jeff E.:
I would take the recommendation and purchase the pad the travel pad that matches the set, as the “ground” of the carrier is very firm.
Mary G. got the cover with the bed:
Today, when she saw her new car bed, she studied it for a minute, jumped into the car, and settled down and slept soundly for our hour drive.
In the order box, choose the bed setup to add the plush bed made for this cover. Get the hard bottom cover.

Customer videos
Eleven clips filmed by the people who bought it, in the back seats they actually drive.
Why it works
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.
Hard bottom: the floor holds flat, even when they stand.
“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
The short version
What happens when your dog steps off the seat, what the hard bottom does about it, and what a verified buyer said. It plays without sound until you tap.

250 lb

“We tried the XL but it was a bit too big for my truck. Team K9 exchanged it for the large and it works great. They were great to work with and the exchange was easy.” Pamela K., verified buyer
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.
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.
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.
Hose it off, wipe it down with a cloth, shake it out, or machine wash it, then let it air dry.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
