TIPS ON HOLIDAYING WITH YOUR DOG
When planning to take your dog on holiday please remember to mention to the holiday
accommodation proprietor that you will be bringing him with you.
If you have more than one dog, or if they are of a particularly large breed, then do remember
to mention this at the time of booking.
Do follow the countryside code and ALWAYS keep your dog on
the lead when in the vicinity of farm animals.
Consider what to do with your dog whilst visiting attractions or eating
in restaurants that don't welcome pets. If possible support pubs & eating places that
do!
You may like to consider using the services of a local pet sitter or kennels if
you decide that you want to take a full day out to see a major tourist attraction where
dogs are not allowed.
Ensure you have access to water for your dog to drink - carry some with you if neccessary.
Never leave your dog unattended in a vehicle when it's hot or even just
warm outside. Remember the temperature inside your car will be much higher than outside
as the glass will act like a greenhouse. Not only will the heat already inside be retained
but it can increase to DOUBLE the outside temperature. Dogs will quickly
suffer from heat exhaustion and CAN DIE.
If you do see a dog left in a car and it appears to be in distress call the RSPCA or police
immediately.
It is always best to exercise dogs in the cooler hours of a hot day -
early morning and late evening are often the most agreeable times.
When going on holiday it is a good idea to use a temporary name & address
tag in case you loose your dog. Include details of the address of your holiday
accommodation and, if appropriate, the telephone number – if you have a mobile phone
then that number could also be included.
In case of a holiday emergency you might like to consider taking note
of a veterinary surgery that is local to your holiday accommodation, your
accommodation provider will help with this.
ENJOY YOUR COTSWOLDS HOLIDAY |
