We buckle ourselves in. We buckle the kids in. But every day, thousands of us unknowingly put our dogs at serious risk the moment we start the engine.
In this special episode, I’m joined by Dr Scott Miller, the UK’s best-known TV vet, and Adem Fehmi, a respected canine behaviourist, to uncover the truth about travelling with unrestrained dogs.
💡 Did you know?
- A 20kg dog in a 30mph crash becomes a 600kg projectile.
- Up to 80,000 dogs are killed on UK roads every year, many because they weren’t restrained.
- Most dog owners don’t even realise they’re breaking the law when they let their pets ride loose.
This isn’t about judgement, it’s about understanding the facts so we can make simple changes that could save our dogs’ lives.
Dr Scott shares what he’s seen in over 25 years of treating animals, including the heartbreaking injuries that happen in crashes. Adem explains why so many dogs feel anxious in the car, and how you can train them to be calm and safe without fear or stress.
Whether you’re driving five minutes to the park or three hours to a training day, this conversation is essential listening.
If you love your dog, please take the time to hear this episode. The small changes you make today could protect them and you today!
