Who We Are

Back in 2013, Maggie and Jim set out with a simple yet ambitious idea: pet products should solve real problems, withstand the test of time (and teeth), and actually work. At 4Knines, we don’t believe in cutting corners. Our final product testers? Our own dogs, who gleefully try to destroy everything we make. If it can survive them, it’s good enough for you. And here’s the thing—we don’t make anything we wouldn’t use ourselves.

Fast forward to today, and life has gotten a bit busier—and messier. Alongside their beloved dogs, Maggie and Jim are now parents to energetic nine-year-old twins. Let’s just say their seat covers are not only dog-tested but also kid-approved. Whether it’s muddy soccer cleats, spilled snacks, or the occasional juice box explosion, 4Knines covers handle it all—because life isn’t just about furry chaos anymore; it’s about kid chaos, too.

Our Philosophy

‎

At 4Knines, we firmly believe that pet people are the best people—and now, we’ve come to believe that parents might be superheroes. Life’s most rewarding moments are often spent with a wagging tail, sticky fingers, and endless laughter. Our mission? To make sure you can enjoy those moments, whether you’re sharing adventures with your pets, your kids, or both. We’re here to help you relax, explore, and soak up every memory—mess-free.

Innovation Over Frustration

‎

Our journey began with two very large Dobermans and one very small car. It was a battle of epic proportions—paws versus upholstery—and, sadly, the upholstery lost. Every seat cover we tried fell apart under the pressure. Instead of throwing in the (very furry) towel, we decided to build something better.


From that moment, 4Knines became about choosing innovation over frustration. At the heart of everything we create is a commitment to problem-solving through smart design. Many of our products come directly from requests and feedback from pet owners like you. We don’t just make products—we make what you need.


And now, with twins added to the mix, we’ve expanded our perspective. Muddy paws and crumbs? Spilled drinks and fur? We’ve seen it all—and our products are ready for whatever life throws your way.

What Makes Us Different

‎

We could sum it up in three words: quality, service, integrity. But let’s unpack that a bit.

‎

  • • Quality: Every product we make is built to last. It’s durable, functional, and free of toxins like heavy metals and AZO dyes. Whether it’s dog claws or kids’ art supplies, we’ve got you covered (literally).‎

‎

  • • Service: When you reach out to us, you’re not getting a chatbot—you’re getting real humans who actually care. (Yes, we’re as friendly as your dog’s wagging tail—and we’ve probably cleaned Goldfish crackers off a seat, too.)

‎

  • • Integrity: We stand by what we make, offering a lifetime warranty because we believe in doing right by our customers.


We want you to feel confident in your purchase, thrilled with your experience, and ready to hit the road—muddy paws, sticky fingers, and all.

Our Community


Giving back is in our DNA. Every month, we shine a spotlight on organizations doing incredible work with animals, from shelters to rescues. As a Navy veteran, Maggie has a special connection to organizations supporting veterans and their pets.


At 4Knines, we don’t just protect car seats; we protect the bonds that make life meaningful—whether that’s between pets and their owners or kids and their parents.


Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about products—it’s about creating a community of pet and family lovers who know that life is better, messier, and far more joyful with dogs, kids, and adventures by your side.

We believe dog lovers should get to experience life with their best friend and bring their dogs along on every adventure, big or small.

Our Values

  • Keeping the Pack Together

    We never want you to have to choose between bringing your dog on an adventure or leaving them behind. We believe you should always have your best friend by your side, whether you’re going on a road trip, camping, to an outdoor cafe, or snuggling on the couch at home.

  • Giving Back

    We believe in paying it forward and giving back to our community. We support charities including mill rescues and military veteran organizations. In fact, Maggie is a Navy veteran. Every month, we donate to an animal advocacy group and showcase their organization on our blog. You can learn more by visiting our Giving Back page.

  • Durable Products We Believe In

    We design products that are built to last, not fall apart after a year of use. That’s why we offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you’re not happy with your 4Knines product, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. 4Knines Seat Covers and Cargo Liners are also backed by a lifetime warranty.
