❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Will this hammock fit my car?
Yes, this dog car seat hammock protector features a universal design with adjustable straps that fit most cars, SUVs, estates, and hatchbacks. The headrest straps extend to accommodate different seat heights and widths, ensuring a secure, tailored fit.
Is it really waterproof?
Absolutely. The hammock features a fully waterproof backing that blocks moisture from rain, wet paws, drool, and accidents, protecting your car seats completely. It's been tested by thousands of UK dog owners in all weather conditions.
Will my dog find it comfortable?
Yes. The quilted surface provides a soft, cushioned area for your dog to sit or lie down. The hammock design also creates a secure, enclosed space that many dogs find calming during travel.
How do I install it?
Installation is quick and tool-free. Simply loop the adjustable straps around your front and rear headrests, clip the seat anchors into place, and adjust for a snug fit. Most customers complete installation in under 5 minutes.
Can I still use my seatbelts with this cover in place?
Yes, the hammock is designed to work alongside your vehicle's seatbelt system. You can easily access seatbelt buckles, and there's space to attach a dog seatbelt harness for added safety.
How do I clean it?
Simply remove the hammock from your car and machine wash it at 30°C. Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. It's designed for repeated washing without losing its waterproof properties or shape.
Will it stay in place if my dog moves around a lot?
Yes. The non-slip silicone backing grips your seats firmly, preventing the cover from sliding or bunching up—even with active, energetic dogs. The adjustable straps also keep it securely anchored.
Does it protect against scratches and claws?
Yes. The heavy-duty, scratchproof fabric is designed to resist damage from claws and teeth. Reinforced stitching adds extra durability, so the hammock stands up to daily use without tearing.
Can I use it as a regular seat cover instead of a hammock?
Yes. Many customers choose to fold down the hammock section and use it as a flat back seat cover when travelling with passengers. The versatile design adapts to your needs.
Is this suitable for large dogs?
Yes, the hammock is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate large breeds. The durable construction supports dogs of all sizes, and the hammock design prevents even big dogs from jumping into the front.

Questions from Dog Owners
Choosing the right car seat for your dog is about more than comfort — it's about keeping them, and you, safe on every journey. Every seat we sell is built to hold up properly if you brake suddenly, and is designed with UK travel laws in mind, so your dog stays secure without feeling restricted. Below are the questions our customers ask us most often, answered in plain terms.
Yes, provided the seat is fitted correctly and matches your dog's weight. A good car seat keeps your dog from being thrown forward in an emergency stop and stops them climbing into the footwell or onto your lap while you're driving. Look for one with a secure seatbelt strap and a sturdy internal harness clip, rather than just a soft bed with no restraint.
The Highway Code (Rule 57) states that dogs must be suitably restrained so they can't distract you while driving or injure you and themselves if you stop suddenly. It doesn't specify an exact product, but a car seat, harness or crate that keeps your dog in place is generally considered compliant. Driving with an unrestrained dog can also affect your car insurance if you're involved in an accident.
It's best avoided. Airbags are designed for adult passengers and can seriously injure a smaller animal if they deploy. Dogs are also more likely to distract the driver from the front seat. If a front seat is genuinely your only option, disable the airbag first and use a properly fitted harness or seat, but the back seat is safer whenever you can manage it.
Small dogs generally do best in a raised booster-style seat rather than a flat bed, as it lets them see out of the window, which many find calming, while still keeping them clipped in. Look for a seat with padded sides so they can't be jolted around, and a base wide enough that it doesn't tip when your dog shifts position.
Larger breeds are usually more comfortable in a full-width rear seat cover combined with a harness that clips to the seatbelt, rather than a raised booster. This gives them room to lie down on longer journeys while still being restrained. Check the weight rating carefully, as not every seat on the market is built to hold a dog over 25kg securely.
Start with your dog's weight and size, then think about how they travel — nervous dogs often prefer a raised, enclosed seat, while relaxed dogs may be happy with a flatter bed style. Check that the seat attaches to your existing seatbelt rather than relying on loose straps, and make sure it's machine washable, since muddy paws are inevitable.
Weigh your dog and measure them from nose to tail base while standing, then check this against the size chart on each product page rather than going by breed alone, as weight varies a lot within breeds. If your dog is between two sizes, it's usually better to size up slightly so they have room to settle rather than feeling boxed in.
They solve different problems. A hammock protects your seats and stops your dog falling into the footwell, but it doesn't usually restrain them on its own. A car seat clips into the seatbelt and keeps your dog in one place. Some owners use both together — a hammock for the seat protection and a harness clip for the restraint.
Most of our seats sit directly on the back seat and secure using your car's existing seatbelt threaded through the base straps, so no tools or fixings are needed. Once it's pulled tight and doesn't slide, clip your dog's harness to the internal safety tether. It typically takes a couple of minutes once you've done it the first time.
There's no single law naming "seatbelts for dogs" specifically, but the Highway Code requires dogs to be suitably restrained in a moving vehicle. A harness that clips to the seatbelt, a car seat with a built-in tether, or a secured crate all satisfy this. Leaving your dog completely loose in the car is what the law is aimed at preventing.
Our car seats are designed for standard car seatbelts, so they're not suitable for motorbikes. In a van, they'll work fine as long as the rear or front seats have a proper three-point seatbelt to thread the straps through — flat cargo areas without seatbelt points aren't a suitable fit.
Yes, our smaller seats work well for cats, particularly nervous travellers who feel safer raised up and able to see out. Just check the weight and size guide first, and keep in mind most cats settle better with the sides zipped up rather than left open, unlike most dogs.
For most healthy adult dogs, a few hours is perfectly fine, but it's worth stopping every couple of hours on longer trips so they can stretch, drink water and go to the toilet, the same as you would with a young child. Puppies and older dogs generally need shorter stretches and more frequent breaks.
Most covers unzip from the frame and can go straight into the washing machine on a cool, gentle cycle. Give the base a quick wipe with a damp cloth first to remove any loose mud or fur, and let the cover air dry fully before zipping it back on to avoid any musty smell.
Nervous dogs often do better in a seat with raised, padded sides, which feels more like a den than an open platform. Being able to see out of the window also helps some dogs settle, while others prefer a bit more enclosure. It's worth pairing the seat with a blanket or item that smells familiar for the first few trips.
Start with short trips of five to ten minutes so your puppy associates the car with something other than the vet. Let them explore the parked car and the seat first without the engine running, then build up gradually. Keeping the same seat for every journey helps them settle faster, since it starts to feel familiar rather than new each time.
