Find your perfect fit.

A single vet bill after a car prang can climb into the thousands. This sets you back less than a tank of petrol a season — and it's the last dog seat you'll ever need to buy.

Calm · Safe · Clean · Easy

Built around the four things that genuinely matter.

Puppy resting comfortably on the back-seat cover

A calmer ride, every single trip

Lifted up on the booster, your dog gets a clear view out the window — calmer, less anxious and far less likely to get car sick. The bolstered sides hug them in like their own travel bed, so they settle right down instead of pacing about.

Steady and secure through every corner

Thanks to the hard-bottom base, there's no sinking and no sliding about, while the raised walls put a stop to that sideways tip on roundabouts. A built-in slot lets you clip in a certified harness, so your best mate stays put right where they should be.

PetRide cover keeping the back seat protected

Your back seat stays yours

Muddy paws, soggy coats and drool all stay up top on the waterproof surface — give it a quick wipe, or unzip the cover and chuck it in the machine. Your upholstery never cops a thing.

Set up within minutes — four simple steps

Sorted in two minutes — and it fits your car

Loop the headrest straps over, push the seat anchors down and you're done — no tools, no booklet to wade through. Made from heavy-duty 600D Oxford, it suits sedans, SUVs, utes and 4WDs, and it's built to outlast three of those cheap hammocks.

How it works

Set up before your cuppa goes cold.

No tools. No booklet. Roughly two minutes from go to whoa.

1

Clip the anchors in

Loop the adjustable straps over your front and rear headrests and click them home. They stay rock-solid even at highway speed.

2

Lay down the hard base

Sit the structured hard-bottom base flat across the back seat. It spans the footwell so you get no sag, no dip and no gap.

3

Pop your dog in

And that's the lot. Thread a harness through the built-in slot if you fancy, and off you go.

My collie used to skate around the back seat and pace the entire drive. Up on the firm base he just settles in and watches the world go by. Honestly a total game-changer.

At long last, a “hard bottom” that genuinely IS hard. Doesn't cave in under 34kg of Labrador, and beach sand and damp fur wipe straight off.

Had it in within two minutes. The raised sides keep her from toppling over on roundabouts. Only wish is that I'd grabbed one a year ago.

Our old fabric hammock basically melted into a puddle. This one keeps Ollie nice and level and the seats spotless, and washing the cover couldn't be easier.

Nervy rescue staffy who couldn't stand the car. That snug, firm feel settled him right down — now he hops in all on his own.

Fits a treat in the dual-cab. The build quality is leagues ahead of the cheap one I had before — clearly the last seat cover I'll ever need to buy.

Stay legal
It's the law

to restrain your dog in the car — in every Australian state.

Driving with an unrestrained dog is against the law in every Australian state — and the fines are nothing to sneeze at. A firm, contained seat is the easiest way to stay legal and keep your best mate safe.

Good questions

Everything you're wondering.

Your standard hammock is just a sheet of fabric strung between the seats — it droops, slips and leaves your mate clawing for grip. Ours packs a proper hard-bottom base, so you get a firm, level platform underneath. Your dog sits up high and steady, not sagging in a fabric pocket. Big difference. 🐾

From little legs to proper big units, we've got a size to suit. Pop into the fit guide, punch in your dog's weight and we'll point you to the right one. Not sure which way to go? Give us a shout — too easy.

Almost certainly — it slots into the huge majority of Aussie sedans, SUVs, 4WDs and utes. Run your ride through the fit checker to make sure it's right for your vehicle, and if you're still unsure, just reach out and we'll help you find the right fit.

Not even close — you'll have it in about two minutes flat. Loop the straps over the headrests, tuck the seat anchors down between the cushions and you're sorted. No tools, no fuss.

Too easy. Unzip the cover, cold gentle cycle, then hang it to air dry. The hard-bottom insert just needs a quick wipe-over with a damp cloth — honestly about as much effort as washing a load of towels.

The seat's built to keep your dog settled and contained, so there's far less chance of them being flung about or distracting you behind the wheel. For the safest setup of all, thread a certified crash-tested harness through the built-in slot — peace of mind sorted.

Backed by our 60-day money-back guarantee. Take your time with it, and if it's not the right match for you and your dog, just reach out and we'll look after you. And of course, your Australian Consumer Law rights stand no matter what.

Everything you’re wondering

How is this any different from your average dog hammock?

Your standard hammock is just a sheet of fabric strung between the seats. It droops, slips and leaves your mate clawing for grip. Ours packs a proper hard-bottom base, so you get a firm, level platform underneath. Your dog sits up high and steady, not sagging in a fabric pocket. Big difference. 🐾

Which dogs is it sized for?

From little legs to proper big units, we’ve got a size to suit. Pop into the fit guide, punch in your dog’s weight and we’ll point you to the right one. Not sure which way to go? Give us a shout. Too easy.

Will this thing actually fit my car?

Almost certainly, it slots into the huge majority of Aussie sedans, SUVs, 4WDs and utes. Run your ride through the fit checker to make sure it’s right for your vehicle, and if you’re still unsure, just reach out and we’ll help you find the right fit.

Is it a pain to set up?

Not even close. You’ll have it in about two minutes flat. Loop the straps over the headrests, tuck the seat anchors down between the cushions and you’re sorted. No tools, no fuss.

Can I chuck it in the wash?

Too easy. Unzip the cover, cold gentle cycle, then hang it to air dry. The hard-bottom insert just needs a quick wipe-over with a damp cloth, honestly about as much effort as washing a load of towels.

What happens if we have a prang?

The seat’s built to keep your dog settled and contained, so there’s far less chance of them being flung about or distracting you behind the wheel. For the safest setup of all, thread a certified crash-tested harness through the built-in slot. Peace of mind sorted.

What if it’s not quite right?

Backed by our 60-day money-back guarantee. Take your time with it, and if it’s not the right match for you and your dog, just reach out and we’ll look after you. And of course, your Australian Consumer Law rights stand no matter what.
