Lookout I

Let your pet “Lookout” in safety and comfort! Many dogs love looking out the window in the car, but smaller dogs can often have trouble seeing out. Our booster seats help calm anxiety and reduce queasiness in many dogs, making the ride more enjoyable for both of you. Plus, we include a strap to attach to your dog’s harness, to help keep your dog from wandering around while you’re driving!

If you would like a larger Lookout, or one with a built-in storage drawer, please see our “Lookout II” seats.

Lookout II

Our Lookout II car seats offer all the same benefits of our Lookout I car seats, with an added, built-in storage drawer. Perfect for storing treats, a leash, or other accessories!

We also offer Lookout II seats in a “Large” size, perfect for bigger dogs or pairs of smaller dogs who like to ride together.

Console Seats

Our Console Seats are perfect for small dogs who want to ride up front on the center console. Like our Lookouts, our Console Seats offer your dog a comfy place to ride with an elevated view. The included connection strap attaches to your pet’s harness to help keep them in place during the drive. Plus, with your dog on the console, you free up a seat for your human passengers or luggage!

We offer two types of console seats, regular and “high-back” seats that has a raised back wall. We think you’ll love both, but some dogs appreciate a little extra barrier slide back against. It also encourages them to keep their attention focused forward, toward the windows, instead of the back seat, for an extra-calm ride.

Luxury Lookouts with Microsuede & Removable Pillow

All Luxury Lookout Dog Car Seats are made with cool, soft & luxurious microsuede and feature a removable microsuede pillow. Our microsuede is incredibly breathable while also being luxuriously soft to the touch, which means your dog can relax in cozy comfort to help promote the ultimate in restorative & restful car rides, no matter where you go.

Our Show Dog patterned microsuede dog car seat is seriously top-of-the-line and is built to last. This super-strong and durable microsuede cover has a double rub count of at least 100,000. (What does that mean? A good double rub count for heavy-duty home use is 15,000+, so 100,000+ is truly extraordinary!) The Show Dog microsuede cover is upholstery-grade fabric, made to handle heavy daily use for years and still look great, which means your dog will be able to enjoy it for longer, and you’ll save money with a high-quality dog car seat that holds up for years.
