Default Dog owners, take comfort!

I don't know how many of you have dogs but I love mine and she goes everywhere with me. She loves to cruise leaving goober everywhere.

Anyway, just want to let you fellow furry pet owners that I found a very good product to protect your back seat (especially for those with lighter colours). It's called the Back Seat Hammock by Global Pets Product. I got lucky with mine on eBay and practically stole it but here are a couple of pics of it in my Sterling leather 350.

She doesn't get excited enough to put her paws up on the sill. She just sits there and cruises.

yeh they need to like redesign their products to protect the sides for dogs who can't just chill and cruise (like mines), otherwise great product.

What a great idea! My dog will be so happy to hear about that.

Is the material pretty thick and durable?

I'll have to check it out . I wonder if the hammock comes in cashmere, to match my interior (as well as my furry gal's fur).

Thank you for sharing!

Yes, the material is very thick and pretty waterproof from my experience. It has a front pouch that accessible from the driver's seat for treats, leashes, etc. Removal for human passengers only requires unclipping 4 clips from each of the corner headrests.

I'd look around eBay as it retails for about $90 (I scored a brand new one for $20). Amazon has a fairly good deal on it now...

Hey Nice, I like to take my dog on trips as well. I have something very similiar and they do work great. Here is a picture of my boy when he was 8 months old. He is now little over a year. He is a goldendoodle if anyone is curious. 70lbs currently.

You're out of luck.. better get the ole boy used to riding in the back seat where it's safer for him anyway unless you can get him used to being buckled up.
