The amount of dog owners has increased dramatically in recent times with a staggering population of nearly ten million pet dogs within the UK. Some people are happy to put their pet dog in kennels whilst they are on holiday but for some the idea of doing this is inconceivable and they would much rather find a holiday destination that allows dogs but how easy is it to take your dog on holiday with you?
To answer this question simply it depends on the type of holiday you are taking, for instance if you have a touring caravan or own your own static caravan it is easy as your caravan is simply an extension of your own home. Most campsites are fine with well-behaved dogs that are kept on a lead or in an enclosed pen and usually provide a field for dog walking always reminding people to be responsible dog owners and to pick up after their dog.
If on the other hand you are staying in self-catering accommodation you will need to check that the property owners allow dogs. Hotels rarely accept dogs unless they are assistant dogs where different rules apply but it is certainly worth checking especially if your dog is a small breed.
