Car Dog Hammock “Travel Buddy Mk. II” Owleys

This is my experience with dog hammocks. I’ve been through probably close to 7-10 different ones, most failing and breaking within a short period, and the companies would disappear so I couldn’t even file a warranty claim. That was my mistake for buying the $30 ones on Amazon.

The cheap ones on Amazon look nice - but they’re photo shopped. They are not thick, the door panels don’t cover the entire door and have no extra protection besides the real thin liner, and has to hang from the handle. The zippers are the cheapest ones possibly made, clips are plastic and sewn directly onto the hammock - one clip breaks anywhere, nothing can be done. I’ve had zippers break, clips break, rip, and just overall ended up spending more money trying to find a good one on Amazon over spending money on quality.

I came across Owleys. I finally caved and got the original, and fell in love. Once in hand, I understood why it was the price it was. I was so mad at myself for not just getting it after the first cheap one broke, but they’re good with the photoshopped pictures and making them look so much better than they really are. I have been extremely happy with the original, and then I saw the new model come out and knew I had to have it, as I have a service dog who, if I’m not working, is always with me. I also couldn’t think what they could possibly improve on? So let’s find out.

The first impression I had when opening it, is the material felt a bit more durable, and the stitching was done different, my guess to increase the strength or durability of the hammock. I also noticed that there was no more seat anchors, which at first I was worried about - but after using it for about a month, I haven’t noticed a difference between seat anchor or no seat anchor. I thought the seat anchors were so important before that, I’d get in the trunk and put a bungee cord on each one and strap it to something, which by the way, was a real pain lol. Come to find out it’s not even necessary.

Just like the other version, the side panels have extra hard padding and are taller, so it actually protects your whole door and the hard padding actually works.

The zippers are extra heavy duty, and slide surprisingly easily. I say that because all of the zippers have (I think it’s leather, or a soft leather type material) that cover ALL the zippers. You would think the zippers would get caught in it, but they don’t. All the zippers at the ends have Velcro straps, which helps a lot with support, instead of relying on the zippers for support.

I like the idea they have on the new straps they’re using that go around the headrest. Instead of being stretchy or just one length, all of them are now adjustable in length so you can make it smaller for smaller cars, which will help keep the hammock raised and even, or lower it if you have a big car. Awesome idea. Really like it because on the old one just barely on the top corners of the seat, my girl could get by and would get a little slobber on it. I was able to raise it that extra inch or two, problem solved. They also added a third pair of buckles for cars that have 3 headrests in the back for more support.

They also made this one super portable. Pop it out of the car real quick, and you can fold it up and it has a strap to close it and a handle to carry it. It’s surprisingly light and folds up REALLY small for how big it actually is. For people who are not like me and dedicate his entire back seat for his dog, and take the hammock out frequently, will love this.

Overall, I can’t complain about anything. There isn’t a better car hammock for pets on the market. Don’t do what I did and buy the cheap Amazon ones. They offer no where near the level of protection that this one does. My dog spends a whole day at a time, very often, in the back on the hammock, and my back seats still look like the day I bought them & my door isn’t all scratched up by the arm rest or handle bar from her trying to put her head out the window. If you don’t believe me, buy one of the $30 Amazon ones and buy one of Owleys. If you care about your car, see which one gets returned ;)

The no-slip bottom is perfect, my lively labrador can't slide it around anymore.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this car dog hammock. The six-layer 600D Oxford cloth design is completely waterproof, which means I don't have to worry about my dog wet paws or any accidental spills ruining my car seats. Plus, it has a non-s bottom made from recycled PVC that keeps it in place even when we're on bumpy roads.

What sets this car dog hammock apart for me are its sturdy metal buckles and zippers. They make the whole thing feel very secure and stable when installed in the backseat of my car. Even better, installation only takes a couple of minutes!

Waterproof feature is top-notch, no more worrying about spills or wet paws.

The extra storage space provided by this product is simply amazing! It has two handy pockets where I can store all of my pet’s favorite toys and treats, as well other essentials like leashes and travel bowls. This feature really helps me keep everything organized and within reach during our trips.

I'm impressed how stable this hammock stays even during long trips.

As a dog owner who loves to take my furry friend on adventures, this waterproof dog car hammock has been a game-changer for me. I use it for 2 months already. The hammock is incredibly durable and easy to install, thanks to the three headrest straps in the back. Its thick design not only provides extra comfort for my dog but also protects my car seats from scratches, mud, and hairs. I also love that it is super easy to clean with a wet sponge. If you're looking for a good y car hammock for your dog, I highly recommend this Travel Buddy Mark 2.

This product offers so much more than just comfort for your pet during travels - it also protects your vehicle! Its 100% leak-proof material ensures no mess seeps through onto your seats while the non-slip layer prevents any sliding around.

this thing never slips even on bumpy rides.

I love this cover. The best I’ve had. My black Lab doesn’t like to sit down and this keeps him from putting his head between the seats and disallows him from being thrown forward. It has openings for the west belts and works well to keep my puppies safe. Easy to take in and out, a quick shake and it’s clean and ready to easily be reinstalled.

I'm thrilled with how easy to install this hammock is! In just a few minutes, you've got yourself a comfortable spot for your furry friend that stays put thanks to seat anchors and nylon straps.

The six-layer Oxford cloth design keeps everything dry – amazing!

i love how thoughtful they were with creating extra storage space; there's enough room for toys brushes leashes anything i might need on road trips.

I'm impressed with both functionality and design of this hammock. The six-layer Oxford cloth is waterproof, ensuring my seats stay dry, while the non-slip bottom layer keeps it firmly in place. Plus, the extra storage space is a bonus!

Waterproof and non-slip? Yes please!

This dog hammock has become an essential for our family road trips! It's easy to install and stays put thanks to seat anchors and sturdy straps. I love how it protects my car seats from spills with its waterproof fabric.

My dog loves it, we love it! Keeps our car clean and tidy.

I can't imagine using any other product to safeguard my leather seats from my dog! It prevents her toys from falling onto the car floor. The non-slip underside ensures the cover stays in place, giving her better stability. It's also water-resistant and features a pocket where I store her essentials like a collapsible water bowl and leashes.

I recently added this hammock to my list of essential travel gear for our family's frequent outings with our dog! A standout feature of this half seat car dog hammock is its middle-zipper design, which allows us to use it on one half of the backseat while still accommodating one more passenger. This versatility is incredibly useful for our family of four! Plus, the portable design, complete with handles, makes it a breeze to transfer between vehicles or to store when not in use. Overall, this owey’s dog car hammocks is a fantastic investment for dog owners who want to keep their cars clean and their pets comfortable during travels! Totally recommended!

Our family loves taking road trips, and our dog is always part of the adventure. We've tried numerous hammocks and carriers over the years, but this Travel Buddy Car Hammock is by far the best one we've found for keeping our pup comfortable, secure, and our car clean. It creates a suspended space for our dog to relax in, reducing her anxiety and keeping her contained. We really like the design, from the stylish look to the functionality. The hammock's waterproof material is durable, protecting our car seats from dirt and hair. We've also found it very simple to clean, which is a bonus after those muddy hikes 😄 Thank you! We love the product and will recommend it!

i've got two words: extra storage!

We brought our 8 week old puppy home in this and she has loved it ever since! It allows for freedom in the backseat, while also protecting your seats and doors. It's also easy to clean. Our pup is still getting car sick every now and then, and we can wipe it away no problem!

I love this dog hammock, I got a new car and my dog absolutely loves to ride. With leather seats, I was afraid he would tear up the seats with his nails. This dog hammock fit perfectly in the back seat, allowing my dog enough room to enjoy the car rides while also protecting the leather. It is machine washable so when it gets dirty, you just throw it in the wash.

I give this a five star rating because I’ve had several different covers. I have German shepherds and I found this one to be the most durable. It holds up to their weight when moving around. It has solid construction and not mesh which will tear. It’s easy to clean and vacuum. I really don’t need the pockets but I guess those would be handy for some people. I also like how it has the high ends. It keeps the dog hair more contained.
