I have some neo seat covers for the front seats in my truck but I haven't had my dog on them to find out if the hair comes off easily or not. The one thing I can say is everything else brushes right off. They are water resistant also. They came highly recomended from a guy I know who is a farmer and has had his for 5 years. He said when the get to dirty to just wipe off he takes them off and throws them in the washer and hangs them out to dry and they are like new again. Has far as price, they run in the neighborhood of 200.00 for the front seats. I know this didn't answer your question exactly but maybe it helped some.

Trya rubber dog brush. Not the one with the long bristles but the one with the real short jagged bristles. The hair sticks to it. I use it to get the dog hair out of the carpet in the Jeep. Or you could try one of those sticky rollers that take hair off your clothes.

an absolute 110% must have with dogs! Yes they are a little spendy, but I have 2 labs that jump in the truck after playing in the swamp by my house and All I have to do is get bottle of water and a towel and it cleans right out! They are great and truely as good as any stock leather seats out there!

Either that or you can just shave your dog! But the leather seats are a better option!

I had stock cloth seats and took the cloth off and replaced it with these leather seat covers!

Eh, I'm picky about those things.
I can't stand my seats/seat covers being all loose and wrinkly.

omg..i agree 100%. if i were to get leather in my truck, i'd bring it to an upholstery shop. already got the estimate, and they'd do the two seats, and the middle console thing (not including my custom armrest console thing..cause i already did it...and they knew that when giving me a price) for $650. it can't be more than a few hundred more than the ones u buy - to actually de-upholster my seats, completely remake them, and apply the same way...totally worth it.

My Honda has seats in it that attract everything. fortunately the vacuum that we've got has a little gizmo that you can attach to the hose that has rotating bristles (sort of like the floor attachment, only hand held) it works great, and it's the only way to get the seats clean.

So in answer to your question. try that, find something with rotating bristles..... btw I've got a golder retriever, and the gizmo get out all the hair

good luck

Try a sticky roller like said, or just to make sure it will work;

Roll up some duct tape or masking tape with the sticky side out and run it over the hairs.
