Travelling With Pets Is Messy — But It Doesn't Have to Be
Whether it's a trip to the vet, a weekend getaway, or a daily commute with your furry co-pilot, pets and cars are a messy combination. Pet hair embeds into seat fabric, muddy paws leave marks on upholstery, and the smell can linger for days. The good news? With the right tools and habits, you can keep your car spotless.
5 Tips to Keep Your Car Clean With Pets
1. Use a Pet Car Seat Protector
This is the single most effective thing you can do. A quality seat protector creates a barrier between your pet and your car seats, blocking hair, scratches, dirt, and moisture.
The UrbanCoat Universal Pet Car Seat Protector fits 98% of car models and installs in seconds. It's waterproof, scratch-resistant, and machine washable — making clean-up effortless after every trip.
2. Keep a Pet Hair Removal Roller in the Car
Even with a seat protector, some hair finds its way onto your seats and floor mats. Keep the UrbanCoat Reusable Pet Hair Removal Roller in your glove box for a quick clean-up after every journey. It's compact, reusable, and takes just 60 seconds to use.
3. Groom Your Pet Before Car Trips
A quick brush before getting in the car removes loose fur before it spreads everywhere. Use the UrbanCoat Deshedding Comb to remove undercoat fur in minutes — less loose hair on your pet means less hair in your car.
4. Use a Boot Liner for Dogs
If your dog travels in the boot (trunk), a boot liner protects against mud, scratches, and hair. Look for one that's waterproof and non-slip for your dog's safety.
5. Wipe Paws Before Getting In
Keep a pack of pet-safe wet wipes or a small towel in the car. A quick paw wipe before your pet jumps in prevents muddy prints on your seats and floor mats.
Quick Car Clean-Up Routine After Every Trip
- Remove and shake out the seat protector
- Run the roller over seats and floor mats
- Wipe down any surfaces your pet touched
- Air out the car for 10 minutes
This takes less than 5 minutes and keeps your car consistently clean.
