Wet Dog Season Newcomers
Three new pieces for the months when every walk ends wet: a full-coverage seat cover, the MudLock trunk liner, and the mitts that stop mud at the door.

Add the cleanup
The part that happens after the walk
A cover keeps the mess off your seats. These get it off the dog before it ever reaches them.
From the classic line
Or pair the mitts with one of our earlier covers
These three are built around the covers we have been making for years, not the new Mk. III. Each is a different construction, and all three come with the same Nuzzle mitts.
The hard-bottom generation before Mk. III. A soft hammock dips in the middle so a big dog braces; the Mk. II floor stays rigid and flat. The side panels still unzip rather than clipping to the doors.
Travel Buddy Light, our breathable cover in beige. Dark vinyl gets hot to lie on after the car has been sitting in the sun; this one runs cooler. Soft bottom, not a hard floor.
The cover we started with. Six waterproof layers and solid side walls with recycled PVC inserts, because claw marks usually turn up on the door cards rather than the seat. Soft bottom.
Where it earns its keep
Three drives that make it wet dog season
Every one of them ends the same way: a soaked dog getting into a clean car.

The dog park after rain
He jumps in covered in mud and wet grass, and you spend the whole drive home thinking about the seats.
The quilted face takes it instead of the upholstery, and wipes down when you get back.

Hiking and camping weekends
Wet gear, a wet dog and muddy boots all land in the same cargo area on the way home.
Floor, sides and seat backs are covered in one piece, so the boots sit next to the dog and nothing reaches the trim.

The shake before the doors shut
A wet dog shakes the second the tailgate opens, and whatever stays in the coat ends up on the headlining and the windows.
Take the water out of the coat with the mitts before anyone gets in. Whatever the mitts miss, the quilting underneath catches.
From verified buyers
What owners actually noticed
I noticed the biggest difference after a long day at the dog park when my dog jumped into the back covered in mud and wet grass. Normally I'd be stressing the whole drive home about the mess, but this time I just let him settle in and relax.
I also like that I can still fold part of the seats down when I need extra room for bags or luggage. When everything's done, I just roll it up or toss it in the wash if it got messy.
I have a German shepherd and he's big enough that the whole cargo area becomes his spot during drives. What I like is that I can still fold part of the seat down if I need room for groceries or a cooler while he rides on the other side.
My golden retriever HATES being toweled. With these, she just stands there purring (yes, she purrs). One pair dried her 90% - used to need 2 towels.
Two mitts replaced the trunk full of wet towels after our lake day adventure!
Before you buy
Honest fit
The one complaint we get on the liners is sizing, so here it is up front.
Best for
- Your dog rides in the back seat or the cargo area most weeks
- You hike, swim or hit the dog park and drive home with a wet dog
- You drive a mid-size SUV, a full-size SUV or a minivan
- You want the trunk still usable for groceries with the liner in
Not ideal for
- Sedans and hatchbacks with a shallow boot - even the L will be too big
- You are looking for a restraint; these protect the car, they do not secure the dog
- You need a size between L and XL - there is nothing in between
Key facts
- Mid-size SUV
- MudLock L, 79 by 52 inches
- Full-size SUV or minivan
- MudLock XL, 102 by 61 inches
- Back seat, the newest build
- Travel Buddy Mk. III
- Back seat, the earlier builds
- Mk. II, Light or the original Travel Buddy, each paired with the mitts
Questions
What people ask before ordering
Which MudLock size do I need?
Use the fit check above and select your vehicle. As a rule, L is 79 by 52 inches for mid-size SUVs such as the 4Runner, Explorer, Forester and Highlander, and XL is 102 by 61 inches for full-size SUVs and minivans such as the Tahoe, Yukon, Odyssey and Navigator. If your car is not listed, measure your cargo floor front to back and side to side.
What is the difference between the three ready pairings?
Only the cover inside. The original Travel Buddy has six waterproof layers and solid side walls, on a soft bottom. The Mk. II adds the reinforced hard floor. The Light is the breathable beige version, also soft-bottomed. All three come with the same Nuzzle mitts.
What changed in Mk. III compared with Mk. II?
The side panels now attach directly to the car doors, so you no longer unzip the cover every time the dog gets in or out. The mesh window is larger. The reinforced hard bottom carries over, rated to 450 lbs.
Can I still fold the rear seats down?
Yes. Several owners describe folding one half of a split seat for bags, groceries or a cooler while the dog rides on the other side, without taking the liner out.
Does the liner move around when the dog does?
Buyers report it staying in place while the dog shifts during a drive. It also rolls up and clips away when you want the plain trunk back.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the quilted face down after a muddy trip. Owners also roll the liner up and put it in the wash when it needs more than a wipe.
Will the mitts work on a large dog?
They are sized for a hand rather than a dog, so size is not the limit. The 400 g/m2 microfiber holds seven to eight times its weight, and the 15.7 inch cuff covers your forearm while you work down the legs.
Can I pay in instalments?
Klarna splits the order into four interest-free payments, and Affirm offers longer monthly terms. Both appear as options at checkout.
