Dog friendly holidays

When booking a holiday, you will need to have decided if you are going to take your pet dog with you. If you are going abroad, obviously this is a long procedure (and an expensive one) which will require your dog going in to quarantine for a period of time before you go and when you return.

If you are looking to holiday in the UK then you should first have a look at the accommodation that will accept pets. Very few bed and breakfasts or hotels will allow pets – so you are more likely to need to stay on a campsite. Again, some of the caravans will not allow them so you may have to do quite a bit of shopping around and most likely stay in a privately rented one or your own.

Once you have the accommodation sorted, you should consider the local area. If there are beaches you may find that you are not allowed to take your dog on there or that there is only a certain part of the beach they can be on.

Taking your pet on holiday is not as easy as it sounds, but is possible as long as you plan correctly in advance.
