Default Seat cover for dogs

I have an 05 Vert and my Basset Hound loves to go for rides almost as much as she loves to shed. I have fashioned a small moving blanket which is not working well. My wife says it's too thick to do it right on her sewing machine. Does anyone have experience with a seat cover that is easy on and stays on fairly well. Looks are not important in this instance. The shape of these corvette seats with the headrest tapered on top of the seat instead of separate disqualifies the ones I look at. Thanks

There are many neoprene seat covers available for the C6. They will stay put and should provide the protection you're after.

Try a Google search. They are all around $200 or so.

I just use those Corvette seat covers for our Golden's. They have an opening that fits over the head rest and tuck around the seat. Can't remember what they are called. I'll find a picture.

Something like this:

I had one in my truck, but I took it out.
Much easier to clean the leather than the cover.
Hair in the carpet is a different story.
I had him in the Vette only a few times, no problem.
But the carpet, again.............
Always in a dog seat belt.
My 50 # hound dog hasn't done any damage to the seats.
He also likes to set on my Lazy Boy with me, again no problem.
Leather is tough.

Sounds just like my Hound with the chair. My Vette has every option, but the interior, except for the leather seats is various tough black materials that seem bullet proof. Still like new after almost 200K. Love my Vette and my dog. Never let her drive though, Basset Hound legs won't reach the pedals.

That's just a picture I found on the internet. But if the passenger door is open, or even the window, they jump straight to the driver seat.

The neoprenes work perfect! 3 years later still look great. And we go to the beach a lot. I just keep an old microfiber handy and use it to wipe the seat off after Palin has walked on it or sat on it. It easily "sweeps" the dirt and hair off. They have been on my C6, then a 2013 Jeep Wrangler, and now a 2010 F-150.

You need Poodle, they don't shed, and loves driving in the Corvette.

I think you need a Rottweiler. The little guy loves riding with me. I don't use a seat cover. My set up is Blanket, another blanket, and a towel over the center console incase he drools. (Dash has since been cleaned)
