Taking your four-legged friend on a road trip is sometimes unavoidable – but muddy and messy seats don’t have to be.
Instead of faffing about with plastic bags, or trying to hose down your pup before they sprawl out on the back seat, this effective item will save time and stress.
The VIKSAUN Car Set Cushion is a waterproof cover, protector, and cushion made from non-slip and breathable material.
It can be nabbed on Amazon for an affordable £7.49 and fits any size seat.
Fans have left their praise for the helpful protector, one wrote: “Arrived fast. Sturdy fabric so the dog might get a trip next to the mother in law instead of her cage at hatch back.”
“Good job and light, doesn’t stick to your clothes,” said another.
A third agreed: “Covers the car seat well.”
The seat cushioning cover “provides adequate padding for you, but also protect your seats from being soiled, scratched and gives your seat a nice look,” according to the description on Amazon.
It is also easy to clean, simply wipe away mess with a damp cloth.
Meanwhile, a range of different vehicle types are compatible with the cover including Saloons, Estates, SUVs, Campervans and Motorhomes.
An easy install only takes a few minutes, with no equipment required.

- Experts believe using a cage or crate in the boot is the safest way to transport your pet
- Don’t feed your pet within two hours of starting a long car journey to avoid carsickness
