Outward Hound PupShield Protective Dog Hammock for Car Backseat

I ordered the outward hound hammock to protect my 2012 Ford F-150 supercab . The hammock fit my truck's back seat pretty well, except that I wish it was a few inches longer on each end to fully cover the corner of the seat. Obviously I can't fault the product for this, as I knew it might be slightly short for my full size pickup. It works well for the supercab (extended cab) but I think it would be too small for any crew cab pickup. I have an 83lb pit bull/boxer mix who usually rides pretty contently. He doesn't thrash around much, he just kind of sits there like my co pilot. He's been to a half dozen rides with me since I installed the hammock and the hammock has held up well. There have been no failures in any of the straps, buckles or mounts and there are no signs of tears. This includes a trip to camp in which my dog got very wet and sandy on one occasion. The sand just brushed right off the hammock. Overall I'd say this is an excellent product. It installed easily, cleans easily and it does an excellent job of protecting my dog and my truck. I'd recommend this product to anyone. The price was right too. I haven't tried any of the other hammocks on the market but I can't see how spending 3-4x as much would yield a better product. Outward hound is. the way to go.UPDATE 9-7-2013:After about 2 months of regular use, I'm happy to report that the pet hammock is still going strong with no failures of any kind. It has since migrated from my '12 F150 supercab to my fiance's 2011 Mazda 3, as the Mazda has become the primary dog hauler. The hammock fits the Mazda 3 perfectly an provides full coverage of the seats while keeping our dog safe and content in the back. On on occasion he was able to jump his front half over the hammock but that was because he saw a crow in the road (he hates crows) and he spazzed out. He's not normally that rammy and the hammock has worked great. I can see though, if you had a very active spastic dog, you might want to put some additional provision in place to keep him/her contained in the back seat. This is an excellent product and has paid for itself many times over in upholstery cleaner. Buy this product

GREAT PRODUCT!!!! What a wonderful idea! I have a 10 lb. Chihuahua who's goal in life is to sit on my lap while I am driving. This, of course, is not the safest idea ever so I end up spending the entire trip repeatedly taking him off my lap and putting him on the other seat. Also, my seats are slippery so he slides while on them even when I try to put his blanket down. I was looking for a solution because he is in the car a lot and I wanted him to be safe and comfortable when I stumbled on this product. It is adorable and reasonably priced. It arrived in less than a week. It was very easy to set up, just adjust the straps and hang it from a headrest. It does not lay on the seat but sits up higher, approx 6 inches off the seat. It has a little cushion in the bottom but my dog is spoiled (if your reading this then your dog probably is too! lol) so I set down a nice thick fleece blanket on the inside of it. This also makes it easy to keep clean as I don't have to clean the seat but instead just throw the blanket in the wash once in awhile. It has a safety strap that clips onto his harness so he can't jump out. It only took him a few minutes for him to get used to. Now he loves it! It puts him up higher so he can see out of the windows easily. On longer trips it is just big enough that he can curl up into his little ball of cuteness and take a nap. It has a little front pocket to store whatever in. Overall it is just a great product and I am so glad that my little angel is safe, comfortable and happy and that I can continue to bring him everywhere.The small is just big enough for my 10 lb dog so if your dog is any bigger I would suggest going up to the medium seat.

Before I shelled out the money for an expensive platform-style car seat, I thought I would try this option and see how it worked. For what it is, I think it worked great but not sure I will avoid the car seats.Pros:I needed to figure out a way to tame a lot of pug hair, and this did the job very well. It has cut down on the vacuuming quite a bit. It also provides a great barrier to keep the dogs from falling on the floor due to short stops or other traffic issues.Cons:The fabric is slippery and my dogs slide around. I ended up laying down one of those memory foam bath mats and that helps somewhat but it is nowhere near as long as it needs to be. The ends of the hammock are not attached to anything and one of my fosters invariably goes exploring and ends up going over the edge and onto the floor. The main thing this hammock is not designed to address that I think I need is elevation. A couple of my dogs would enjoy looking out the window but are still not able to. I thought about buying a long block of extra dense foam to lay under the hammock but that ends up costing more than just buying the elevated car seats. :-)

I have bought 3 different ones, from 3 different brands and this is the one that:-works the best-made well-hasn’t fallen apart-easy to cleanI like this style because you don’t have to worry about the dog falling in between the seats. Super easy to move about for human passengers.

De muy buena calidad

As a dog walker, I have gone through a number of these. Although this one was a bit dearer, it is lasting much longer. The straps and material are also sturdier and better made. Happy to recommend.

My little dog loves this seat. She's safely strapped in but still able to see out the window. Very easy to attach to your car seat.

Good and solid but shoud be little big for whole protection
