How strong is the cover, if my dog paws at a a couple time during his flight will it rip easily?

It appears to be pretty strong. My dog has pawed at it and it is fine. Do not walk on it; you can take a header; very slippery.

It will hold up to it being "pawed" at. If your dog decides to chew it that is a different story. I have bought 3 of them and rotate them from the freezer for my 7 month golden. I use a pillow case to cover it after I take it out of the frezzer.

the cover is a strong material is strong an almost canvass feel to it. I don;t think anything in a bed will stand up to chewing. I also put a small sheet over it, easier to shake off dog hair and wash it.

I suggest you look at a different pet carrier. This item is not durable enough even for my then 8 month old cockapoo. He was able to rip right through the screen. And the seller was not willing to refund or replace.

I have a dog, but the mesh is very sturdy, but over enough time it might break down under constant scratching. The cool thing about the bed lining is you can unzip and wash or replace it

It seams to be shred proof. I've had it for a few weeks now. My dog loves it and can't bite into it.

I don't believe the seat cover, excellent as it is, is designed to keep the dog from flopping around, even when used as a hammock. For that I think you would need a harness with an attachment to the seat belt, which would keep both you and your dog much safer since a flying dog (in case of accident) can be badly injured and can become a deadly flying missile that could injure passengers. That said, I still love the car seat for the seat protection and the comfort for my dog. I use a dog seat belt as described above.

There is not much padding and the material is rather cheap. We took it on one trip and it encountered several rips in the nylon material. The stroller was not damaged, but this thing is not rugged enough for airplane travel. We had the bag for the City Mini and it was much more durable. I do not know why the quality went down hill.

I don't have dogs, but the cover material is durable enough to prevent nail scratches, at least I think so. (The material is NOT an ordinary nylon cover.) Repels moisture and dirt. Easy to place on the seat and remove. Also, since it does NOT slide over the seat back, it won't interfere with air bags in the seat, if your vehicle is so equipped. Hope this helps.

We got this cover in tan. The up side that your pet touches is a soft canvas material. I can tell it will stand up to lots of wear. It is not slippery. The underside is a quilted black material.

It seems to be comfortable for my 90 lb dog. However be aware that the cover is not very durable and my dogs were able to tear it within a day, also other reviews mention that the foam did not fully expand and odor although those weren't problems I had. There is also no paperwork include about the supposed warranty.

I don't know, but it doesn't tear or rip....I have a 47 lb dog that has hefty size poops

No. We carry 2 cats every day and sometimes our dog turns over the carriage. Nothing has broken or ripped so far.

Our dogs do some fluffing and it seems to hold up well. We do cover ours with a sheet or what have you as the brown cover shows dirt and slobber. Regardless, the cover holds up as the sheet gets tossed off the bed, etc. I will also add that we have washed the cover a few times and it holds it size and shape. Zipper seems to be of sturdy quality as well.

No, it was barely big enough for my 85 lb English Bull Terrier to stretch out on. The cover also ripped in less than a month. Turned it over and the dogs shreded the other side in no time. It wont hold up to toenails.

The vinyl is pretty thick but I think a dogs claws could break it. I would not put a dog in this model.

I think so, it's not heavy duty but seems strong enough. Is your pug somewhat calm? If he/she fought against the carrier, I don't think it would hold.

My dog is not a "digger" but the covering seems to be quite tough. He's jumped on it paws first several times while chasing a ball that was thrown near the bed and done no damage so far (my boy is a 70lb Border Collie and he is VERY active). It would take a real effort and some very sharp claws to penetrate the thing. I don't really see much of a chance of your girl pawing a hole in it. Biting would be a bigger worry as teeth could probably make it through the cover with continuous effort.
