Pet Seat covers

I ride with my dog/s often, likely not too common with the sport driving enthusiasts of this site. Still I hope someone can help me out.

I have tried a rear bench cover from Plush Paws, the front seat cover works just fine and is made really well. I recommend it. However; the rear seat cover wouldn't work due to the molding of the rear panels to the bench in the rear. You can't fit the skirt around the sides or secure it very well to the back of the bench.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pet cover? Maybe the Weathertech seat cover?

Not sure if available in the US (they surely are) Orvis make some superb stuff.
I use the windowed hammock and it'just works' very well. Door protectors are a different thing, and I have some amazon things under test.

Would you mind verifying what size you purchased? I'm assuming it's the "CAR/SUV Large".

Yes, the large size as currently in a Navara until the 5 arrives - when I will simply swap it over.
It has had two dogs on it over the last 5 yrs and when removed - everything beneath is 'as new' (leather seats) so I'm happy. Fitting it is easy, and it stays in place no problem.

Somebody in a different thread recommended this:

This is the link to all the US Orvis products, including the previously linked back seat hammock (previous link was to Orvis UK) and also a front seat protector. Can't vouch for the specific products but Orvis usually makes good gear.
