    Hello, I have a new 2026 Prius XLE, has heated seats & I have a large hairy dog. Want lightweight seat covers that repel hair. I've ordered a couple, but they require an anchor being pushed into the seats. I read don't do this; it could damage the heat mechanism.
    What are my options? Any recommendations and advice very much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    It doesn't repel hair but it's cheap: moving blankets from Harbor Freight. I know it doesn't repel hair because it's what I use when I dog sit for my daughter.

    I got several when they were giving them away to 'club members' or whatever they call it.
    I figure, they come in handy once in a while, and could stay indefinitely in their plastic bags.
    Interesting that it has a warning tag on it not to use it as a sleeping blanket. I wonder why? :)

    edit: I bet it's because it catches fire easily, rather than chemicals.
