How waterproof is "waterproof"? I take my lab to the beach regularly and his coat holds a lot of water. I don't want my seats wet!

I haven't really checked it with a fully wet dog. My dog drools when I take him on rides in the car, and that hasn't passed the backing on the hammock. The material that covers the back feels like it would withstand some good amount of water. BUT you want to be careful when it comes to those holes for the seat belt buckle, the material could potentially hold up when it comes to water, but it may defeat the purpose if you dont cover the holes. Hope this helps!

its not waterproof at all because of the the big holes where the seatbelts go. The fabric itself will be water resistant to a point. I personally will dry my dog somewhat so she is not dripping water before i get her in the car.

I wouldn't pour water on it! the bottom of the hammock has slits in it for seat belts to go through. Also the sides of the hammock do not curl up at the edge, so water could drip down the sides of your seats. It would always be a good idea to partially dry off your dog with a towel before putting him/her in the car.

I have a German Shepherd that I take to a dog park with a lake. He gets hosed off and dried a little with a towel. But he is still pretty wet and from what I can tell the seat cover keeps my leather seats dry. You can tell when it is wet because of color but it dries fast too.

The liner itself will not let water pass through it, but it will not stop the water from going around it if your dog happens to have enough water on them to leave a puddle.

I have two labs that go to the beach with me with my hammock. Of course I dry them off first but it's canvas so it's totally safe for my convertible with white seats! I sewed the seatbelt holes together so NO water goes through. wonderful

The bottom is waterproof and one solid piece on mine. I use this for my water dragons outside time with a water dish inside . He does splash around and I have never had water leak out , but the sides are mesh an if your dog has a high aim....it will leak out.

Stephen, yes they are waterproof, tested many times this summer on the rainy east coast and not a drop of water on my new patio furniture cushions. They will fade in the sun, no big deal. After a few years you can discard and replace.

My dogs have had the collars on in the rain a few times and have been in a deep stream once. They are still working, but if you look at the description, they are not supposed to be submersible. I would not chance it too much if you can help it.

No not really. It is ok in the rain without problems. My dog sent swimming with his on and it seemed to shorten the collars life span. If your new to this door I would recommend having a spare collar around. Best wishes.

I wouldn't say that they are waterproof...My dog is a bush dog and I had once left the collar on her on a rainy day, this happened more by accident, she ran through alot of wet bush and it did survive, but I had the red collar and it did dye the hair around her neck pink...not easy to get off. I do not recommend it for real rainy days...wet/damp bush it should survive and in snow it seems to work fine, but sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't....It's a good, well priced collar that is really only made for night walks ...it keeps you and your dog safe, so that is what I truely recommend it for.

Not at all! I know what you're talking about too. This is actually a very nice product. We haven't had the opportunity to test it's full potential as "waterproof" b/c usually it's just his blanket that gets wet but so far I'm very happy with it. Hope that helps!

Yes, its waterproof. I have had it outside for months, no leaks or water problems.

This is just my opinion. I wouldn't use it on a dog that goes in and out of water all day. I haven't used the waterproof part, because nothing has come up. We don't have a pool or anything like that. And I take their collar's off at that time. I sure wouldn't want to find out the hard way that it's not fully waterproof. Sorry, I couldn't help you out more.

I dont think it is waterproof I have an older dog who sometimes urinates in her sleep and when it has happened when she is on the couch it has gone through the cover and onto my couch I now keep washable puppy pads under these covers for this reason as they are waterproof but not very attractive

Mine says its waterproof although I haven't really dared to try it out. This product is amazing- life changing!! 3 1/2 years of barking and finally, we have silence!!

No, but the two we have for our dogs seem to be decently water-resistant. Last winter they held up pretty well in our northeast snowfalls. When our dogs come in the house, we take the coats off and give them a good shake or two and the outside dries off on its own or you can blot it with a dry towel.

I wouldn't call it "waterproof"....but it does a good job of keeping the seat dry underneath. Water beads up on mine and is easily wipes off. It doesn't absorb water and wet your bum when you sit down. The pockets in the back are mesh, so anything in them will get wet if left in the rain.

I don't think it's waterproof but they do get wet because the rain sometimes comes in sideways with the wind. We haven't had any issues yet.

I bought one in June and in 1 test it was waterproof as advertised. I will know more in a few months. I park my bike outside at work in Oregon (i.e. lots of rain coming in the next 8 months). There was 1 big rainstorm this summer. When I came out, my bike was dry. Water was sitting in a puddle on top of the cover, and wasn't dripping through. That was a good sign. I am hoping it will be waterproof as it will be out in the open.

It's definitely not 100% waterproof. We had the same thing happen with our puppy. I holds the majority of the water/urine, but until your pup gets a little mor potty trained I would have a backup underneath it. These hammocks are also nice, because you can just throw them in the washer and dryer! Overall, we really love ours.

From everything i found, and after using it for about a year... there is no damage to dogs, no weird sounds to humans, and it is a miracle worker.....Just... DONT LET IT GET WET. Seems to have a problem being left out in the elements but if you put something like a piece of plastic over it you should be fine.
