SPOTLIGHT: SOGGY DOG SEAT COVERS
Got the wet dog woes?
Dogs may truly be Man’s best friend but they aren’t always the best companions for your car. Claw scratches, fur, slobber, mud….it can all make for a fairly big hassle when it comes to clean up. To make everything much easier for you and your pet, Soggy Dog Seat Covers offer a variety of seat and cargo cover options made for most vehicle models. Christine Lamb, inspired by her black labrador Shayda, started her Soggy Dog business over 10 years ago. Since then Soggy Dog has saved the seats of vehicles all over North America. Soggy Dog Manufacturing creates innovative, easy to use seat covers and cargo area covers for your vehicle. Made in Canada, these covers not only protect your seats but keep your canine as comfortable as possible. Based on the simple concept of a fitted bed sheet, the 4 deep pocketed elastic corners hug your seats and take seconds to install. With pockets on the sides, any debris that falls off the covers will be safely trapped, saving your floors from mess as well. Not a fan of spending hours cleaning your seats? With Soggy Dog Covers, simply remove them, shake them off and throw them in your washer. Using an exclusive fabric, Soggy Dog Seat Covers allow mud, debris and dog hair to easily shake off before washing. Another bonus with these covers is that unlike other manufacturers, they do not have any plastic backings that crack, peel or shred. Ask for Soggy Dog at your local pet supply retailer or for more information, pictures and to order a Soggy Dog Seat or Cargo Cover visit soggydog.ca or call Chris at 604-833.4907.
