A lot of Dog owners feel their holiday would not be complete without taking along their pet Dog. It may be that the Dog owning family has had the Dog for a number of years and now the Dog has become part of the family, and goes everywhere with them. Also, if the Dog has been in the family home for quite some time, the Dog may not feel comfortable going into kennels when the family are off away on their holidays.
If you take you Dog along on holiday with you, don’t forget the needs of other holiday makers around you. One of the last things holiday makers want on their quiet peaceful couple of weeks break is to have to listen to a Dog continually barking.
Also remember that young children might feel frightened by the presence of your Dog, so don’t forget to keep the Dog on a lead. Camping shops sell quite long Dog leads that allow an anchoring point to be screwed into the soil outside your caravan or tent and therefore give the Dog some freedom to walk around your pitch.
If your Dog is vicious or protective of the pitch on which you are stopping, then never leave your dog on a lead unattended as children will naturally want to come and walk onto your pitch to give your Dog some fuss or to collect a ball.
