❗️MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE LAW❗️

According to the RAC, one-third of UK drivers do not comply with this law and do not restrain their dogs while driving. But not doing so can result in a FINE UP TO £5,000! Which is a pretty big price to pay if you are not aware of the law.

Drivers breaching the rule are deemed to be driving carelessly which means they can be hit with three to nine penalty points and receive a fine of £1,000 that can go up to £5,000 if taken to court.

This is a rule you should have encountered when first learning to drive, as it is stated as Rule 57 in the Highway Code.

“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 cage or dog guard are ways of restraining animals in cars.”

As the rule states, it is also imperative that even when restrained, your dog cannot cause a distraction to the driver. This means where possible, your dog should be restrained in the back of the car and not sitting up front with you. But it is important to mention that while having a dog sitting in a front seat is not illegal, you may still encounter a fine, and it is not the best practice for safety standards.

The rule also clarifies that a seat belt is not the only option for restraining your dog; cages, carriers and guards are also an option. However, we find that a dog seat belt is the easiest, space-saving solution that ensures you can take your dog with you even at short notice! It’s also a suitable option for all sizes and breeds.

Did you know this? Make sure to share so others are aware of the law 🐶

Here is what we know: We have been informed by MSD that there have been reports of leptospirosis within 20 miles of our practice. Due to GDPR they are unable to share a specific location but cases have been reported by veterinary professionals. We decided to share the information passed onto us so that you can make informed decisions regarding your dog’s vaccinations. Our advice remains the same as it has always been which is to keep vaccinations up to date
