Does this hammock protect from drooling and/or water if your dog likes to go swimming and then hop in your car?

It is waterproof. I got it for my daughter and her husband and they loved it.

It's intended to protect from water but the material started to flake after a few times of my dog jumping in the car wet. I don't know how to explain the material, it's like woven but on the back it's plasticy and that plasticy material just started cracking and flaking everywhere.

So far it seems to have caught all the dirt/mud/water my dog tracks into the car. Its a pretty durable material and has done a good job protecting my leather interior. Sometimes the edges get bunched up when the dog jumps into the car, so just make sure its pulled flat.

You would have to open the seam and pull the belt attachment through it or keep the one side of the cover up so you can attach the belt underneath. The hammock cover for the backseat has the opening already and your dog would be safer in the backseat while you are driving. I even purchased the barrier so my Aussies remain in the back seat and can't try and sit in the front bucket seat. The products are very durable and I've machine washed them multiple times and always hang to dry.

Hi Adrian. We bought this cover after a neighborhood cat had sharpened her claws on our car. After repainting we used this cover every night. It is definitely waterproof and I would recommend it. The only problem we experienced was when the wind blew hard and it blew off the car. They do send a strong tie (the cover has gromets but the cable--a metal one-- has to pass under the car. Hard for an elderly couple to do.

Dear Jaclyn:Oh yes, no problem. My dog (about 50 pond) likes to look out both windows and move a lot. I also washed the hammock in a regular washer and had no problem. I highly recommend the product. We ghave it in black.

Yes. Due to the material being water proof my dog has a tendency to slide a little.

Yes, if you adjust the zip line loosely enough. My dog loves being in the back of the SUV and lying on her bed--and then moving up to ride shotgun in the front passenger seat. It took awhile for me to adjust it at the sweet spot where she could do all of that--yet still taut enough that she wouldn't bump her nose on the dash if I made a quick stop. But once there, it's been great. I now have a PupZIP in both cars.

I think so; there are places for seatbelts to go through. But the child's feet will be within the hammock which could be uncomfortable. I think it would be best to use the zipper fold away, and put the car seat on that side, doggie on the other.

No. It is not watertight. It has no rubber seals to prevent water from entering it if you held it under water. But it would probably keep light rain out if exposed. And if it is under a car you should have no problem unless you drive through deep water or shoot water under pressure directly on it.

No it does not. It is ope on each end. It is like a hammock. It protects the sests from dirt and dog hair. I put a blanket down and my rwo beagles like it.

It is a small size and stops about 4-5 inches from her tail. No it is not water resistant. My dog sleeps in it every night, so is more like pajamas.

No it keeps the dog floating properly in the correct position. It helps my Dobe considerably, she is a timid swimmer. Plus the grab handle comes in, well.... Handy

Is there anything on the back seats that this can be hooked up to? The hammock has straps that are adjustable that fit around the headrest. Without headrests I can't think of an alternative way to use the hammock. Also, be aware that the seat belt thing that comes with this that allows you to secure your dog with the seatbelt clasp is not ideal for a larger dog but is great to secure your dog temporarily while loading groceries, etc. Otherwise, this hammock has been awesome. My dog is super comfortable in it, it's really flexible so it can be used just as a cover and the zipper down the middle allows for half up half down which is great when driving my dog and a person in the back seat.

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.

Yes-there is a zipper that allows hammock to fold and expose seat. Make sure that back seat headrest has enough clearance for straps to hang around-mine didn't so I returned the item.

It's definitely not 100% waterproof. We had the same thing happen with our puppy. I holds the majority of the water/urine, but until your pup gets a little mor potty trained I would have a backup underneath it. These hammocks are also nice, because you can just throw them in the washer and dryer! Overall, we really love ours.

I have not used the harness as a safety device for the car. It sounds like a good idea and I can see how it might work. If the harness is Not properly fitted on your pet they can wiggle out of the harness I still think the safetest method for traveling with a pet is a crate. Good Luck I hope this helps with your question.

My dog puked on it going through some hills and curves. We cleaned out a towel over it for the last 30 minutes of our car ride. Didn't soak through to the seat. Also washed it with a hose after and the pavement was dry underneath. My dog loves it. I would buy one again.
