Your Dog’s Safety Is Our Priority

How Our Doggy Buses Keep Every Journey Happy & Safe

At Bruce’s, every adventure begins with one simple promise: your dog’s safety always comes first.

From the moment they hop onto one of our iconic doggy buses, to the moment they arrive at their favourite field, we make sure every journey is safe, calm and comfortable – just the way it should be for our furry VIPs.

Because when it comes to dog travel, it’s not just about getting from A to B.  It’s about creating a journey that feels secure, relaxed and part of the day’s adventures.

Safe, Happy Transport With Our Doggy Buses

Our doggy buses are specially designed with dogs in mind – not adapted human transport, but vehicles purpose-built to keep pups comfortable and protected.

They are more than transport – they’re the start of each dog’s adventure-filled day.

And with our trained team, and love for every dog on board, you can trust that your best friend is in the safest hands from door to field and back again.

On Every Bruce’s doggy bus you’ll find:

Secured travel pods: Following the guidance of the UK Highway Code, we ensure our bus travel pods are fully secure ensuring all dogs are safely restrained and protected during travel.

Soft, cosy interiors: Comfortable, soft surfaces, noise cancelling flooring and pup-friendly materials create a comfortable, quieter ride and help dogs feel relaxed from the moment they jump aboard.

Climate-controlled comfort: No matter the season, our buses stay at a perfect temperature – keeping your pup cosy in winter and cool in summer, travelling in complete well-being, whatever the weather.

Trained dog-loving drivers: Our team are experts in both animal handling and safe dog transport. Each driver knows how to keep your dog calm, comfortable and secure on the road.

Ben Mann, MD of Bruce’s said, “When owners hand over their dogs to us, they’re trusting us with what matters most. That’s why our doggy buses go beyond basic transport – they’re safe, secure environments designed to give every dog a calm and positive start to their day.”

Built-In Safety That Meets Travel Laws

While the UK’s dog travel laws require dogs to be suitably restrained and safe during transport, Bruce’s has gone beyond the basics from day one. Our travel pods, secure fittings, and fully trained team mean our buses naturally meet – and exceed – the requirements of the Highway Code (Rule 57) and new pet welfare transport standards.

So you can feel confident that every journey is not just loving, but lawful and responsible too.

A Journey Made For Dogs

Every dog is different – and that’s why we tailor our approach to their needs. Whether it’s a youngster taking their first bus ride or a seasoned Bruce’s pro who knows exactly which pod is theirs, our team ensures:

  • calm, confidence-building travel
  • gentle introductions for new dogs
  • supportive handling for shy or anxious pups
  • plenty of affection and encouragement 

Because safety isn’t just about equipment. It’s about the care and attention that goes into every tail wag and every mile travelled.
