Do Seat Covers Ruin Leather?

You care about your truck, so it only makes sense that you’d want to put down materials that are safe for the original seats.

A lot of people mistakenly think that seat covers, especially waterproof ones designed for dogs, ruin leather seats. Fortunately, that isn’t the case.

Much of this information is purported by leather conditioning companies who are looking to make more sales. While it’s always good to keep your leather seats conditioned, you won’t need to do it as often if the seats are covered and protected from everyday wear.

In fact, keeping your leather seats exposed to harmful UV rays can be dangerous, as the leather eventually dries out and begins to crack. If you cover your seats with a thick material to keep this from happening, you are protecting your seats from these UV rays as well as your pup scratching or unfortunate accidents during the car ride.

Keeping your seat covered is an excellent way to protect your seats from being ruined, whether it’s from puppy dog paws or other types of wear and tear.

Do Seat Covers Interfere with Heated Seats?

Unfortunately, seat covers of any type will interfere with heated seating in your truck.

All you have to do is attach it when you’re ready to go on an adventure with your dog, and detach it before you have a turn on your heated seats, and you’ll be able to enjoy the full benefit of a seat cover without losing the amenities of your vehicle’s seat warmers.
