6. Seat Belts for Dogs in Italy and Germany
Traveling with pets, particularly dogs, is common in Europe, but in Italy and Germany, there are specific rules to ensure their safety. In Italy, dogs must wear seat belts while in a vehicle, making sure that even the four-legged passengers are secure during the journey. Germany, with its precise regulations, classifies dogs as “transported cargo,” meaning they must be protected from falling or being thrown around in the event of a sudden stop. These laws reflect a broader European trend towards animal welfare and safety, ensuring that pets are given the same consideration as human passengers.
