No, it is not illegal and as the Highway Code relates to Rules about Animals. It is the responsibility of the driver to:

“Do not allow dogs or other animals to distract you as you drive or cause injury if you have to stop quickly.”

These regulations will apply to any accident that your dog caused while you were driving. This could be considered dangerous driving. You may be required to restrain your pet by your car insurance provider.

Make car travel easier for your pet

Your pet may be distressed by the motion and can become sick from being in a car. It’s important to start socialization training as soon as your pet is old enough to be comfortable in a car. It will help to expose them to this environment early on in their lives. If your dog is sensitive to motion sickness or can see out of a window, it’s best to allow them to look forward.

You can build travel socialization by starting with shorter distances and moving on to longer car journeys. These new experiences can be made more enjoyable by giving your pet treats to reinforce their good behavior.

These are the rules and regulations for travelling in a car with your dog.

Do:

• Use a carrier, crate, or harness to secure your pet.
• Make sure to keep your pet hydrated. In the summer, a car’s temperature can quickly rise in heat.
• You can leave the air conditioner on, as long as it isn’t blowing directly into your pet’s face. Or you can open a window so that it doesn’t allow them to jump out.
• Make sure to stop frequently on long car rides so your pet can get up and stretch, re-hydrate, and use the bathroom.
• Make sure your dog is comfortable in their familiar surroundings, such as a favorite blanket or toy. This will keep them calm and relaxed during the trip.
• Talk to your veterinarian if your pet is suffering from motion sickness. They may be able to prescribe travel medication.

Do not:

• Your dog can travel with your head out of an opening window.
• If they are in the front seat, don’t forget to turn on the passenger airbag.
• Do not feed your pet before you travel. It is best to leave your pet at least 2 hours before you travel.
• Do not leave your dog alone in a hot vehicle. It doesn’t take long before a car warms up, which can cause your pet to overheat. This can lead to serious health problems.
