What types<\/em> of holiday are best for dogs? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The types of holidays I believe are best for dogs are the ones you can drive to.\u00a0 Whether you are heading away to the beach or the country, your dog will enjoy the trip with you.\u00a0 The annual family trip doesn’t need to be camping, with so many properties now offering pet-friendly accommodation\u2014you have lots of choice that extends way beyond camp sites.\u00a0 At Holidaying with Dogs we list over 2,000 dog-friendly B&Bs, caravan parks, camping grounds, host farms, cottages, motels and holiday houses throughout Australia, so it\u2019s a great first stop when you\u2019re in holiday-planning mode!<\/p>\n

What advice can you offer on finding hotel accommodation when travelling with a dog?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When looking for pet-friendly accommodation, check out our website www.holidayingwithdogs.com.au<\/a> but also consider your needs. For example, are the dogs allowed inside the accommodation? Is the garden secure? Are big breeds of dog allowed? Perhaps make a checklist to help you decide which option is best for you and your dog.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Can you tell us about an awesome holiday you\u2019ve taken your dog on?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We holiday with our dog (and two cats) every year.\u00a0 We are lucky enough to have use of a house at Flinders on the Bellarine Peninsula, which has a beautiful enclosed back garden and is within walking distance to a fantastic off-lead beach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How important is pet insurance when you\u2019re planning a holiday with your dog?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main reason to insure your dogs and cats is for the peace of mind. Vet bills can quickly mount up, especially in the event that your pet should fall seriously ill, and knowing that you can afford the very best treatment possible can be a great comfort at such times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What are some ways to ensure a fun-filled and safe holiday for humans and pets?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To ensure a fun and safe holiday, make sure your dog is secured in the car using a harness, have regular toilet and drink stops and remember to pack your dog\u2019s bed and favourite toys.\u00a0 NEVER leave your dog in the car.<\/p>\n
