Planning a dog friendly UK holiday
Before booking your holiday, be sure to double check the policies of your accommodation to be aware of how many dogs you can bring, any extra charges and restricted breeds. Once your accommodation is booked, the next step is to make sure your dog's vaccinations, microchip records and flea/tick treatments are up to date and, if not, book an appointment with the vet. If your dog requires any regular medication, make sure you have enough to cover your holiday.
It's also a good idea to research local seasonal restrictions, particularly if you're planning to visit the beach with your four-legged friend. Many beaches restrict dogs during peak months (April-September), so it's worth making a note of where you'll be able to bring your pooch during your stay. If you already have an itinerary of dog friendly days out, now's the time to book any tickets or arrival slots.
Researching pet insurance for travel is also a great idea if your dog isn't already covered and can give you extra peace of mind.
