Why Choose EzyDog Dog Car Safety & Travel Restraints?
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep my dog safe in the car?
Keep your dog safe in the car by using a crash-tested harness clipped to a seat belt attachment, which is the setup UK law and safety bodies recommend. A harness spreads crash force across the chest, the belt stops your dog being thrown forward, and a seat cover adds containment for dogs that move around. Choose based on your dog's size and how they travel.
Is it illegal to travel with an unrestrained dog in the UK?
Rule 57 of the Highway Code requires dogs to be suitably restrained in a vehicle so they cannot distract the driver or be thrown forward in a sudden stop. There is no specific harness-versus-crate mandate, but an unrestrained dog that causes a distraction can lead to a careless driving charge with fines reaching £5,000.
What is the safest way to restrain a dog in a car?
The safest setup is a crash-tested harness attached to the seat belt. The EzyDog Drive Car Harness is tested to automotive standards, a higher bar than a harness simply described as strong. For dogs that move around the rear seat, a hammock or seat cover used with a belt attachment adds containment.
What is the difference between a dog car harness and a seat belt attachment?
A car harness fits around your dog's body and spreads crash force across the chest and shoulders. A seat belt attachment is a short lead connecting that harness to the car's belt. You need both together: the harness protects, the attachment anchors. Browse our dog car harnesses and dog seat belts separately.
Do I need an ISOFIX dog seat belt?
ISOFIX belts clip into your car's dedicated anchor points, the same points used for child car seats, giving a firm, rattle-free connection. If your vehicle has rear ISOFIX anchors, an ISOFIX belt is the more secure option. If not, a universal click belt attaches to any existing seat belt buckle and works across virtually all UK vehicles.
Can I use any walking harness as a car restraint?
No, not safely. Most walking harnesses are not load-rated for the forces of a collision. A harness used in the car should be crash-tested or specifically designed for vehicle restraint. A walking harness clipped to a belt may hold your dog during normal driving but will not protect them adequately in an accident.
Is a crash-tested dog harness worth buying?
Yes, if you travel regularly with your dog. Crash-tested means the harness was assessed under real collision forces, not just general use. For motorway driving and longer journeys it is the right choice. The Drive Harness is the crash-tested option in this range.
What car safety gear does a small dog need?
Smaller dogs need a properly fitted restraint, not a loose clip-on. The Drive Booster Seat lifts them to window height and attaches to the seat belt, while the Drive Harness sizes down to XXS for a snug fit. Both keep a small dog secure without a bulky adult restraint.
What size dog car restraint do I need?
Sizing depends on your dog's chest girth and weight, not breed alone. EzyDog restraints and harnesses are sized XXS to XL. Measure the chest at its widest point and check the size guide for each product, as sizes vary between the Drive Harness, seat belts, and ISOFIX options.
Do dog car safety products come with a warranty?
Yes. Every EzyDog product is covered by a 1-Year Warranty against manufacturing defects, across the whole car safety range.
