Camping holidays\u00a0should be your dog\u2019s idea of heaven. They\u2019ll love spending time with you living outdoors, sleeping under the stars and \u2013 of course \u2013 enjoying long, long, long walks in the countryside…<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Location, location, location<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Camping holidays should start with you\u00a0picking the perfect location; there are several gorgeous destinations that\u2019ll welcome your canine companion with open arms. For those that prefer the idea of glamping, there are some dog-friendly options, including the super chic\u00a0Primrose Yurt<\/a>\u00a0in Cornwall.<\/p>\n

2. Update your pet’s details<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Before you leave, double check your details are up-to-date on the microchip database and on your dog\u2019s ID tag. Don\u2019t forget to include your mobile number in your contact details while you\u2019re away from home.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0The greatest wealth is health<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s always important that your dog\u2019s vaccinations are all up-to-date, but even more so if they’re heading abroad or to a new environment. Keep your vaccination record card in a document holder, along with any other insurance<\/a> and veterinary information you might need to have to hand.<\/p>\n

4. Who you gonna call?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Once you\u2019ve decided on your destination, take time to locate the nearest vet and make a note of their contact details. Not only will this put your mind at ease, but also if your beloved pup does need professional medical attention, you’ll know whom to call right away.<\/p>\n

5. Be prepared<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Running around on rough terrain can take its toll on your pooch\u2019s paws, and it’s only sensible to be prepared for the minor injuries that an energetic pup might pick up. \u00a0Ensure you put together a first aid kit for your pet before you leave, just in case.<\/p>\n

6. A thirst for adventure<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sniffing up all that fresh air is thirsty work! Make sure you pack a travel bowl so your pooch can rehydrate on the move.\u00a0Collapsible water bowls<\/a>\u00a0are very light and easily portable, which is great if you\u2019re off on long walks or short on space.<\/p>\n

7. Pack all the essentials<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Check you have everything you\u2019ll need in the car packed into a handy\u00a0travel bag<\/a>\u00a0so that your four-legged friend can arrive at their destination in style. A cosy blanket<\/a> will help your dog to rest en route, then doubles up as protection for your car seats when they\u2019re wet and dirty after a run through the woods that somehow involved several detours into a stream!<\/p>\n

8. Lead the way<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Don’t forget to pack a stylish lead<\/a> for your trip – nothing too\u00a0glitzy, just something simple and elegant in\u00a0leather<\/a>\u00a0that fits the country casual aesthetic. Even the best behaved dog will need to be under close control if you\u2019re walking near livestock – this just ensures that they\u2019re the best dressed, too.<\/p>\n

9. Layering is key<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Despite wearing a fluffy fur coat, your dog may need an extra layer from time to time. Whether it\u2019s a\u00a0cooling jacket<\/a>\u00a0for summer days or a\u00a0fleece\u00a0for cold nights, your dog will thank you for the added protection from the elements.<\/p>\n

10. Be responsible<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Make sure you\u2019re thorough about clearing up after your dog. Ensure you have a good supply of\u00a0doggie bags<\/a>\u00a0with you, remembering that shops are not always readily on hand in the countryside when you need to replenish supplies.<\/p>\n

11. Food, glorious food!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s worth taking enough food<\/a> to last for the whole camping trip, plus a little extra. You might find your dog\u2019s appetite increases in the great outdoors, and you don’t want to risk local shops not stocking their favourite brand of food. Don’t forget a few\u00a0treats<\/a>\u00a0– after all, they’re on holiday too!<\/p>\n

12. Groomed to pawfection<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re planning on wandering down to explore some of the local pubs after\u00a0walkies, a little grooming<\/a> will be essential. Make sure you pack the right tools for the job – a good\u00a0brush<\/a>\u00a0will transform your dog from muddy mongrel to posh pooch in no time, and keep hair from getting tangled and matted.<\/p>\n

13. Breathing space<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Camping with your dog means you\u2019ll have your very own canine hot water bottle to warm you on cold nights – but if your love for your dog doesn’t quite extend to their breath, you might want to look at upgrading your tent to something a little more spacious, or ensuring your pet has their very own super comfy bed!<\/a><\/p>\n

14. Take a picture – it’ll last longer<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Don\u2019t forget to capture it all on camera. Call us biased, but there\u2019s simply nothing cuter than pampered pets putting their paws up on a well-deserved break!<\/p>\n
