In partnership with our friends from Holidaying with Dogs.
The thought of having to kennel your fur baby while embarking on a bliss-filled break can get your holiday off on the wrong foot. Dogs benefit from a change of surroundings, and they excited by the smells, sights and textures of a new landscape. Fortunately, the recognition of animals as valued family members is becoming more accepted in the wider community, and has inspired the prevalence of dog-friendly holiday digs.
Pet-friendly caravan parks are now found nationwide and are also a cost-effective consideration when holidaying with your dog. It’s hard to beat the space, the proximity to nature, the fresh air and access to canine-compatible activities. We vet dog-friendly camp sites to make your choice easy, because we believe the family that stays together, plays together.
It’s always important to remember that these are shared spaces, possibly with other holidaying animals, so always control your dog and familiarise yourself with specific pet requirements.
