A hammock keeps a dog on the back seat, but a solid one also puts up a wall between the dog and its owner. Some dogs mind that a great deal. They stand, whine and push at the fabric trying to see through. A mesh panel in the middle removes the reason: the dog can see you and the air from the front vents reaches the back.

This hammock is 137cm by 150cm, built from 600D Oxford fabric with a PVC layer, padded filling and a 190D Oxford backing, stitched so water does not seep through the needle holes. Flaps 40 x 45cm fold down over the door panels. There are two pockets, openings for the seat belt buckles, and a dog seat belt is included in the pack. Unclipped from the front headrests it lies flat as a bench cover, and it can also be laid in the boot as a liner.

On price and use: This is the most fully featured cover we sell and it is priced accordingly. If you only need to keep mud off the seat, the plain cover does that for a third of the money. The included seat belt should be clipped to a harness, never a collar.

Who it's for: large dogs, dogs that get anxious when they cannot see their owner, and anyone who wants one cover that does the back seat and the boot.
