Is it legal to have a dog in my passenger seat. I have a groendahl. He loves the car. So i build up floor in front seat so he can lie down or sit and enjoy the fresh air
But is this legal?

There is no special rules for dogs. They are considered as cargo and the only rule is for securing cargo in case of an accident.
The cargo should be secured to prevent damages to driver/passengers in case of an crash.
So I dont think there should be any problem transporting him in the passenger seat.

Thanks for the reply
He is a big dog so I might remove passenger seat and put in a cage I have.

Then you have to secure the case properly.
You do know that you get special harnesses/seatbelts for dogs?

No I did not know that. at least not for the front seat? Can you put me in touch with a dealer who sells this kind of thing?
