Default Pets and your 3IS - Lets see some pics!

I recently adopted a new dog and have purchased a lot of dog stuff including this nifty rear seat cover. Install is a breeze by simply loops that go around the headrests. Then it simply folds up and out of the way neatly. I chose to put it on the rear floor. This is the one I bought: http://amzn.to/2fZ9ddM

Anyway pics of your dogs (or cats, hamsters, lizards, fish??) and your 3IS? How do you transport them? Are the seats resistant to scratches or are yours all scratched up?

She does great on car rides. Mostly sleeps.. too much effort to stand up and look out the window. I'm thinking of finding some solutions for the doors so they don't get scratched.... like something i can easily velcro and remove. I can probably make something out of small strips of velcro and cloth. cut to the shape of the door.

Haha i'll post some more when I get home. I know. she was jumping all over the front seats when i first got her. she would love to go back and forth between driver and passenger seat. So i'm like enough of that and bought the rear seat thing. she still rests her head in the middle.. second best option i guess. and to top it off, having a dog in the car is the best fuel saving mod. I got like 37mpg the other day on a trip from LA to OC and back.



Can't wait to see all of your pets! theres gotta be more of you out there lol

My cat hates being in a moving vehicle... Going to the vet, I have to put towels down in case he gets carsick. I'll try to get a photo if he isn't vomiting next time I drive him.

I have a similar sling to you. 7 month old black lab and 2 year old rescue mutt. Works great.

Ya I found out I have it installed backwards in my pics. The little white tubes go face down. And tuck into the seat. I'll probably cut them out as I don't keep the cover installed full time. Too much trouble to tuck/untuck.

Did you get the one that allows you to still use your seatbelts? Ours does. We just unclip it from the head rests and people can sit on it. No need to take it out for short trips that way.

I have cats. Cats and cars don't mix very well. There are no opportunities for "cute" pictures when they're in my car.
I'm driving as fast as I safely can to get them out of the car. It's usually a nightmare every time.

apparently it has belt holes, i never looked though. I'll check it out next time I use it. It just doesn't look so good when you've got red seats.
