Ruffwear Dirtbag Seat Cover

What reviewers say

Treeline Review: Its best waterproof cover: in its water test no water leaked through to the seat, and mud and stains wiped off easily. The downside: the waterproof fabric is more slippery than other covers, and its tester dogs slipped on it more often; it comes in one size.

We did not test it ourselves.

Pros

• Best waterproofing in Treeline Review’s test
• Wipes clean and does not hold odor, per Treeline Review
• Bench or hammock

Cons

• More slippery for dogs than quilted covers
• One size only
• Treeline Review found the backing less grippy than others

Good to know

• Older or unsteady dogs may slip on it getting in and out, per Treeline Review.
• A seat cover does not restrain your dog. Use a crash-tested car harness or a secured crate as well.
