Winter in Western NY can be a messy time of year…
While the fields and yards may be coated with a pristine blanket of white snow, the roads, driveways and sidewalks (where our dogs take their daily stroll) are a completely different story! A combination of snow, salt, sand, and dirt turns these areas into slushy, slimy messes. Not exactly the type of thing you want to have dragged into your car!
Most of us have winter mats to protect the floor of our vehicles, but our dogs don’t walk or sit on those! Are you doing anything to protect the seats themselves?
We encourage ALL dog owners to invest in a quality dog car seat cover – to protect their vehicle from messy paws, sharp claws and unforeseen circumstances!
Introducing the Plush Paws Bench Seat Cover
We were recently contacted by Plush Paws Products out of Cordova, Tennessee to see if we were interested in checking out their bench seat cover. We are always looking for products that make pet parents lives easier, so we excitedly agreed!
Plush Paw Products was kind enough to send over one Luxury car seat cover for us to test and they are also sponsoring a giveaway below!

Features of the Plush Paws Pet Seat Cover
This Plush Paws cover is LOADED with features that make it both easy to install and easy to use. We will take a quick look at these below before diving into the installation and review…
Unfolding our brand new dog seat cover
- Seat anchors – Slide into the crack between the seats to keep the back and bottom of the cover in place
- Elastic straps – Secures the cover around the base of the seat to prevent it from lifting up
- Built in Side Flaps – Protects the sides of your seats (particularly important for when dogs are entering and exiting the vehicle)
- Velcro slots – Allows easy access to seat belts, or child car seat anchors
- Silicone Backing – Helps keep the cover from sliding around on the seat
- Waterproof – Durable polyester forms the outer layer to protect the seat below
- Adjustable Straps – Mount around head rests and buckle for a perfect fit
- Multiple Configurations – Can be used as a standard or hammock style seat cover
- BONUS: Dog Car Seat Belts and Harnesses Included! Every Plush Paws Seat Cover includes 2 seat belts and harnesses for your dog!
Installing your Dog Car Seat Cover
Getting your Plush Paws Seat Cover installed and ready to go takes less than 5 minutes. They make it pretty intuitive (and also include a handy guide with each purchase) but we wanted to document the steps to show you just how easy it is.
First things first, make sure to orient the cover such that the tiny silicone dots are facing down, and the white plastic seat anchors are facing toward the crevice of the seat. The silicone bumps should be resting against the bottom portion of the seat, as they help to prevent the cover from sliding around as your dog moves around on top of it.
Next up, you will want to slide the white plastic anchors into the crack between the top and bottom seat. Don’t forget this step as they do a GREAT job of keeping the cover in place!
After the anchors are inserted, go ahead and lift up the back portion of the seat cover to attach it to the seat headrests. Plush Paws makes this easy with adjustable straps and buckles. It should only take a minute or two to get the perfect fit.
Once the back of the cover is properly secured, pull the elastic seat straps around the bottom corners of your seat. This may or may not be possible depending on the style of your bench. For example, we installed the cover in a Subaru Impreza in which the seat is solid down to the floor.
Next, flip over your side flaps to make sure that they are protecting the edges of your seat.
If you are leaving your cover as a traditional bench seat, that’s it – you’re done.
If you would prefer using it in a hammock style, just lift up the extra material on the bottom and attach to the head rests on the seat in front!
Plush Paws Pet Seat Cover Review
From the moment we slid the cover out of the packaging, the quality was apparent. Plush Paws seat covers are quilted and diamond stitched for comfort and durability. The buckles and straps also appear to be well constructed and designed to last.
It only took us a couple of minutes to install and the process very simple. The fit was absolutely perfect in my sedan and should work in just about any vehicle’s bench seat.
If you want to know how it performed, just take a look at the image above! The water beads right up on the polyester fabric and can be simply wiped away. This cover is easy to vacuum, can be scrubbed with a wet rag or even tossed directly into the washing machine if it gets too dirty!
As we mentioned above, each Plush Paws seat cover also comes with 2 dog harness and seat belts. One Regular size (for dogs 15-60 lbs) and one Extra Large (for dogs 60-100 lbs).
In order to get your dog strapped in for safety, just adjust the harness, clip on the seat belt, and click it into your car’s current buckle. What I thought was particularly cool about these seat belts, is that they can be attached to any harness you already have. They are also adjustable so that you can give your dog an appropriate amount of slack to get up and turn around, while still keeping them secure.
For as much as we travel with the dogs, we are a bit ashamed to admit that we have never had a safety harness for them. We are SO GLAD that we do now, and that our dogs will be better secured in case of an emergency.

Waterproof, multiple configurations AND Lifetime Warranty??!!! EEK! I can’t choose just 1 favorite. This thing is awesome! My Nova would love it after a day at the river for the ride home… and so would I!
The side flaps are real nice! We use our current seat cover all the time and it is starting to look worn. We could us another one. Right now we aren’t out much getting dirty since Mom can’t do anything, but she will be back to normal in the spring!
The side flaps really are great! It is amazing how much dirt the pups can get on the sides of the seats just from jumping up into the vehicle!
I like that it’s Machine Washable.
I love that it’s waterproof and machine washable! I love taking both my dogs to the dog park, but my back seat gets covered in mud and shedded hair!
Non Slip Silicone Backing
I appreciate that the seat cover is waterproof. I especially like that it comes with a harness for security and to protect our buddies.
That would be great to win!!! My dogs like getting muddy when we walk the trails. One of these would help keep the backseat from getting so muddy.

Wow, thank you for offering this giveaway. We have 4 dogs and this cure would come in handy
I like that it is Machine Washable.
I love that it’s waterproof! It would be so easy to clean!
The fact that it’s waterproof and will not only keep the hair off my seat, it will protect my dogs and keep them safely in the backseat. I am thinking of my little Sammy, who likes to launch himself in the front seat when I am driving. Sometimes I don’t see him until he has done it, and I worry that he will cause me to wreck, or hurt himself. Thank you!
I like that it is washable and non slip, also that it comes with harness’s
The silicone backing & multiple configurations.
Can wash in the washer and waterproof. And the dogs have harnesses to keep them safe.
My mom has a Plushees product similar to this one (might be an older model?) and it is wonderful for about ten reasons. My favorite reason is how it keeps the car clean, so when it comes time for carpool, my coworkers aren’t covered in dog hair (that has happened before and it’s embarrassing!) thank you very much!
Love love love that it is both waterproof and machine washable!
It’s the harness that keeps the dogs safe, secure in the back seat. What peace of mind that would give me when driving with my dogs! 🙂

I like the easy installation and lifetime warranty. This makes it easy for everyone who has a dog to use.
My girlfriend’s dogs are very furry! This would keep my truck a little cleaner. Plus the puppies would be safer if they had a seatbelt too. Thank you!
I have two big dogs and trust me, this would be a HUGE help in keeping my dogs in the back seat, and keeping the car clean. This is important because I also have a toddler in the back seat, and having the dogs secured would make me feel better (they have been known to jump a little and get silly…)
