I've got two Beagles that love to ride in the car with me. However, they make a mess! How do I make car seat covers for my dogs to keep the vehicle clean?

Keeping your pets happy and your car clean is a concern for many animal lovers. Fortunately, you can make a car seat cover for your dogs yourself. Best of all, the seat is completely customizable!
First, head to a local craft store and grab a few yard of strong outdoor-safe upholstery fabric that will hold up to anything your pet may track into your car. Choose a print that speaks to you, but also consider its ability to disguise mud, fur and grass stains. Measure it for your backseat—from the front headrest to the back headrests—and make sure it covers all the seats. Cut the fabric accordingly.
Next, attach the buckles to your outdoor fabric near the four corners by sewing them in place. Finally, hang the dog seat up in the back, by buckling it around the front and back headrests like a hammock. Now your car is dog-proof, and you and your pooch are ready to ride!
