The law on dogs in cars
Rule 57 of the Highway Code requires dogs to be suitably restrained so they can’t distract the driver or injure anyone if you stop sharply. There’s no specific fine for the rule itself, but an unrestrained dog can land you a careless-driving penalty and invalidate your insurance after a claim.
Acceptable restraints are a seat belt harness, a booster or car seat that clips to the belt, a crate, or a boot guard. The right one depends on your dog’s size and where they travel.
Choosing the right restraint
Small dogs often do best in a raised booster seat — it lets them see out (which reduces car sickness and whining) while a built-in tether clips to their harness. Medium and large dogs suit a crash-tested seat-belt harness clipped to the existing belt, or a crate in the boot.
Always attach a car restraint to a harness, never to a collar — a collar in a sudden stop can cause serious neck injury. A waterproof seat cover or hammock keeps mud and hair off your upholstery into the bargain.

Common questions
Is it illegal to drive with an unrestrained dog in the UK?
The Highway Code (Rule 57) says dogs must be suitably restrained. Breaking it isn’t a direct offence, but it can lead to a careless-driving charge, points and a fine, and may invalidate your car insurance in an accident.
What’s the safest way for a dog to travel in a car?
A crash-tested seat-belt harness clipped to a body harness (never a collar), a secured crate, or a booster seat with a tether for small dogs. The best choice depends on your dog’s size and the car.
Do dog booster seats help with car sickness?
Often, yes — raising a small dog so they can see the horizon reduces the motion-sickness and anxiety that come from being jostled out of sight in a footwell.
