Back seat pet cover

The Highway Code does not make direct reference to the transport of dogs. Yet if it is up to common sense, transporting a pet at liberty is both dangerous and prohibited.

What the Highway Code says.

I. - Outstanding, any driver or passenger of a motor vehicle must wear a seat belt approved once the seat he occupies is fitted under the provisions of Book III.

Moreover, while the question of seat belts is debatable in its terms, it is interesting to note that the word "passenger" does not indicate a particular species. This could implicitly mean that even a car back seat pet covers is required to be tied up in a car.

But if this first article is "questionable" because of the "animality" of the passenger, article R412-6 is formal, the driver can in no case be embarrassed in his movements or his vision by whatever is. Implicitly the dog must be attached or transported in a suitable space (setting up a suitable retention system).

Be careful, because although these items can be considered a dog does not have to be attached since it does not hinder the driver, know that the precautionary principle prevails in this area. Even if your pe used to lie on the ground or on the bench, in case of covers, the police will be able to consider that the pet from its instincts can at any time adopt an unpredictable behavior. And as such the "freedom" of your dog may contravene the above articles.

In my opinion this article concerns above all the transport of animals intended for slaughter or agricultural production. Yet the fact of not indicating any species implies that this can be applied to dogs. Make sure your back seat pet covers can not harm others when parked on public roads, parking lots, etc.

If you have to open a window a little, make sure your dog can not pull out his head and that nobody can get his arm inside the vehicle.

For this you can limit your dog to the space of the boot or the back seat. In any case, it is preferable to prohibit the access of animals to the front seats. Install a net, bars or grille behind the front seats or between the bench seat and the boot when possible.

It is also possible to use a trunk blocker to ventilate the back vehicle.

Methods of transport by car.

Seat belt

The dog safety belt is actually a kind of leash with a car seat belt buckle. Simply clipper the car and the dog. It is better to put a harness to the dog rather than a collar. The harness offers a powerful anatomical solution for the back seat pet covers as it leans on the sternum and shoulders unlike the collar which will be more dangerous in case of sudden braking.
