 <\/p>\n

Your dog is a big part of your family, so it\u2019s no great surprise that many families want to take their pets on holiday with them.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going on holiday in the UK, it can be a great opportunity to give your dog a change of scenery. Whether you\u2019re heading to a campsite or a holiday home, you\u2019ll need to make sure your holiday accommodation is dog friendly. Although hotels are likely to be out of the question, particularly in cities, there\u2019s plenty of beautiful country cottages scattered across the country. The best place to start researching holiday homes is online, where you\u2019ll be able to type in specific details, including your dog\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

For long car journeys with your pet, a comfortable dog travel bed<\/a>\u00a0or a pet carrier and a selection of toys and goodies are essential. What\u2019s more, pick up a doggie travel bag\u00a0and you can fit everything it\u2019ll need into one place.<\/p>\n

Dogs will always love a good beach and the countryside in general, so a trip to Britain\u2019s coastal counties would be the ideal holiday choice. From Devon to the islands off the Scottish mainland, there\u2019s hundreds of beautiful walks and cycling adventures for you and your pet to enjoy.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re heading abroad on holiday, it\u2019s usually easier to leave your pet behind. Whilst new vaccine regulations mean you can take your dog without the need to quarantine on return, it can still be problematic. As well as being expensive and extra hassle for you, some dogs find travelling abroad \u2013 particularly long-haul \u2013 very distressing.<\/p>\n

Modern dog kennels\u00a0are generally very bright and spacious with plenty of outdoor space. Well-equipped to deal with the needs of many different animals, pet boarding is\u00a0much more comfortable than they used to be. Helping to install \u2018a pack mentality\u2019, too,\u00a0they\u2019re a great place for dogs to stay on a short term basis.<\/p>\n

Equally, you might fancy returning from your travels to a perfectly trained mutt. If so, why not send it to a dog bootcamp<\/a> while you\u2019re away? There are hundreds of specialised schools around the country that will teach your pooch a number of commands that\u2019ll make controlling them that much easier \u2013 all with very little effort on your part!<\/p>\n

For short or weekend breaks, many pet owners prefer to leave their pet with a trusted friend or family member. This can be a great solution if you’ve got help living nearby, but can sometimes be too much of a responsibility for people to take on, so why not opt for a dog sitter.<\/p>\n

Whilst the introduction of pet passports means you\u2019re able to travel with your pet within the continent, these are very time consuming to organise and take several months to come through. Think about using one of the new breed of excellent kennels or packing your furry friend off to bootcamp for some super useful training \u2013 of course, the other option is always to enjoy a \u201cstaycation\u201d right here on British soil and book a UK holiday at\u00a0dog friendly\u00a0hotels.<\/p>\n

Book your UK staycation now!\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
