Travel Accessories

The safest way to transport a dog in a car is a crash-tested crate secured to the boot, or a properly fitted seat belt strap attached to a harness (never a collar). An unrestrained dog in a vehicle becomes a projectile in a collision - a 30kg dog at 30mph generates roughly 900kg of force on impact. BullyBillows seat belt safety straps clip directly onto your existing harness, keeping your dog secured without restricting their ability to sit, lie, or turn comfortably en route. The straps adjust to accommodate different body lengths and harness attachment heights - small breeds through to XL dogs, all accounted for.

Under Rule 57 of the Highway Code, dogs must be suitably restrained in a vehicle so they can't distract the driver or injure themselves or anyone else in an emergency. Travelling with an unrestrained dog can result in a careless driving fine and may invalidate your insurance if things go wrong. A seat belt strap or secured crate is the simplest way to comply. Beyond that: a water bottle and travel bowl for longer journeys, a boot liner or seat cover for the mud and fur situation, and poop bags always to hand. BullyBillows stocks all of these. The seat belt restraint is the one people always buy after they need it.

Secure them. Either in a crash-tested crate bolted to the boot floor, or with a properly rated seat belt strap clipped to a well-fitted harness. For longer journeys, a travel bed or blanket makes extended rest stops more comfortable for everyone. Always have water accessible. BullyBillows travel accessories are built with adjustability in mind.

Rule 57 of the Highway Code says dogs must be suitably restrained in a vehicle. While there's no specific legal definition of what "suitable restraint" means, travelling with an unrestrained dog can lead to a careless driving charge and could invalidate your car insurance in the event of a claim. A seat belt strap or crate is the simple answer. BullyBillows seat belt straps are made for exactly this use case.
