Seat cover for dog,

Dave Plowman (News) pretended :

For your car... Try Lidl and/or Aldi -one of them has an offer on for cheap seat covers at the moment.

For the dog... Get a laser pointer to tire it out - it will chase the dot where ever you point it. Also buy it a kids battery powered bubble machine, they love chasing the bubbles. We also bought our collie a tiny LED headlight. She demands that be put on her head as soon as it gets dark and she chases the spot of light around the garden. When she tires of that, she takes it off her head and takes it in her mouth to shine around.

They (Lidl) had a couple of weeks ago - but not any there this week. Had some decent value tool stuff on Thursday - set of drills in a steel box, and the same fine torx and allen ratchet set which I'd bought about a couple of years ago and found excellent.

He's not a youngster and I enjoy the walks. Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park are reasonably close by car and make a change (for me at least) from the local common. But he does like to look out of the windows when travelling so need a cover that can be well secured. Or a tranquilliser dart.

Someone gave us a rear seat cover, it seems very strong, we have two retrievers, so it gets hard use, but not every day.

It is branded 'country club'

Hatchback car? Get a universal dog guard. Argos sell them, =A319.99.

I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

It is perhaps just our local store which still has lots of the seat covers still in stock then. Most of the stores do seem to sell out quickly on the specials, but not our local one.

I agree. I bought a set of those drills last time and bought another last Thursday, I also bought one of those ratchet sets too - which I missed last time around. As you said, excellent quality tools to add to the collection.

Put a plastic sheet over the seat, then stick an old blanket over the top. Nothing could be easier or more effective. Don't forget a dog seatbelt or he will be out of the front window like a missile in an accident. You could always get a hatchback or estate car with a dog guard and stick him in the boot. My dog used to like to sit in the front passenger seat and had his nose constantly on the air vents or he would spit and slobber down the open window. He didn't like other dogs much so I had to take him out when everyone else was at home.

Seems a lot for something so basic.

You're not the dog's owner, so won't get the Vet's bills...!

(But worth every penny, of course!)

Whats the dog done to u.

Surely its a seat cover for the seat and not for the dog.

I doubt if you can get a seat cover to fit your dog LOL.

I would say a cheap cover from Lidl/Aldi, although the problem is that although they are very good, they are also slippery - as there is nothing for their claws to grip on. they may slide and end up head-butting the door on roundabouts

I've now got a simple blanket on the back seat instead. Keeps the claws and fur off.

I'm thinking this might be the way to go - but with some method of securing it properly. It's roughly what I use at the moment, but even with it well tucked in under the squab he still manages to pull it out by moving around.

I've got one of those too. It really does seem very good.

Velcro. Put the hook bit on the blanket, they might stick directly to the seat. If not, attach a couple of pieces of the loop material to the seat out of sight. If the seat squab lifts up, attach it the the underside, otherwsie glue a couple of pieces inbetween the cushion and back where nobody will ever see.
