Its feature-rich design is made even more meaningful by the use of a non-slip backing underneath several layers of heavy duty polyester.

These pet seat covers from URPOWER are essentially the same as the Dog Car Seat Cover of the same company. However, there is a bit of a difference when it comes to its design.

Plus, it is cheaper by a few tens of dollars if you’re going to compare it with its base price and not the discounted price. This URPOWER offering features a fully waterproof and highly durable protective layer for your car upholstery so that it can be spared from dirt, debris, mud, grass, or any other particle that your pooch might bring. It combines the wonderful characteristics of PP cotton, 600d oxford, and polyester and adds these to a slip-proof PVC netting at the back which is technically their version of non-slip backing. Well, if you’re into URPOWER but aren’t willing to shell out humongous sum of money, then this is the one to get.
