Keeping your dog

and your passengers

safe in the car

isn’t necessarily as

straightforward

as it seems. Karen

Bush and Toni

Shelbourne advise.

A

utomatically fastening our seat belts

when travelling in the car seems

to be second nature to us humans,

but, when it comes to our dogs, it’s often

a dif erent story.

Rule 57 of the Highway Code states:

“When in a vehicle, make sure dogs or other

animals are suitably restrained, so they

cannot distract you while you are driving,

or injure you, or themselves, if you stop

quickly. A seat belt harness, pet carrier, dog

BELT UP!

Happy travels!
