Restraint under braking

An unrestrained dog carries on at the speed the car was doing until something stops him, and at town speeds the back of a seat is enough to injure him badly. A short tether on a chest harness limits how far he can travel, keeps him off the driver and stops him bolting into traffic after an impact. A heavy-duty seat belt tether is the simplest way to do it for a larger dog.

Honest words on crash testing

There is no EU legal standard for pet restraints the way there is for child seats, so no product sold here has had to pass an approval test and the term crash-tested is not legally defined. Look at wide load-spreading straps, metal hardware, a short tether and a fixing to the seat belt or an ISOFIX point instead. Treat a raised seat such as the car seat for dogs and cats as containment, and use its internal clip.

Raised seats and travel sickness

Letting a small dog see out of the window settles more upset stomachs than anything else, because the sickness comes from a mismatch between the eyes and the inner ear. A soft car seat lifts him to the glass and gives him sides to brace against, and a seat with a safety strap keeps him in it on the bends.

Protecting the upholstery

Claws do their damage on the way up, so a cover has to reach the seat backs as well as the base. A complete scratch-proof rear seat cover converts to a hammock so a dog cannot slide into the footwell, and for a small dog who stays put, a contained raised seat keeps the mud in one washable place.

From the car to the walk

A few things here cover both ends of the trip. The stroller with a car mount secures for the drive and becomes a pram when you park, and the Pendlo bike basket and carrier bag carries in the car and mounts on a bike at the other end. See also carriers and backpacks and bike trailers.

Dog car seats and travel safety: your questions answered

The rules differ from one EU country to the next, and several of them require an animal to be secured so that it cannot distract the driver or move freely in the cabin, with fines where it does. Check the rules for every country on your route before a longer trip, because they are not harmonised. Even where no specific rule applies, general road traffic law still holds you responsible for keeping the vehicle under control. The practical answer everywhere is the same: a harness with a short seat belt tether for a larger dog, or a contained raised seat such as the ComfyRide car seat for a small one.

Not to a legal standard. There is no EU regulation for pet restraints equivalent to the UN rules that govern child seats, so no harness, booster or box sold in Europe has been required to pass an approval test, and the words crash-tested on a listing have no legal definition. Some makers commission voluntary independent testing and publish it; most do not. Judge what you can inspect instead: wide load-spreading straps, metal hardware, a tether short enough to limit forward travel, and a fixing to the seat belt or an ISOFIX point rather than a headrest post. Always clip a tether to a chest harness, never to a collar.

One that raises him to window height, has firm sides to lean on through a bend, and comes with an internal clip for a harness. A soft car seat suits most small dogs and cats, and a firmer car seat for dogs and cats holds its shape better under a dog who will not settle. Fit it on the back seat, away from the front airbag, and check the base is wide enough not to tip when he stands. If the car is already stressful, letting him travel in a carrier he already knows, belted into place, often works better than any new seat.

Start by letting him see out, because most travel sickness in dogs is a mismatch between what the eyes and the inner ear report, and a raised seat fixes more cases than anything else. Travel on an empty-ish stomach, keep a window slightly open for fresh air, drive smoothly and build up from very short trips that end somewhere good rather than only at the vet. A contained raised seat such as the ComfyRide car seat keeps any accidents in one washable place while he learns, and a full seat cover protects everything underneath. If it does not improve, ask your vet, as there is prescription medication that works well.

Cover the seat backs as well as the base, because most of the scratching happens when a dog scrambles up rather than once he is settled. A complete scratch-proof rear seat cover does both and converts to a hammock, which also stops him sliding into the footwell under braking. Check it has headrest anchors and openings for the seat belt buckles, so you can still clip in a tether. For a small dog who stays in one place, a contained raised seat such as the ComfyRide car seat is often enough on its own.
