Top 5 Tips for Taking your Dog on Holiday

Does your dog deserve a holiday?

At Rowley Farm Holidays we believe no dog should be left behind when it’s time to get away.

In fact here at Rowley your doggies really are our VIPs and that is why we are totally dog friendly!

We welcome big dogs, little dogs, old and young dogs and we don’t dogscrimiate between breeds. All we ask is that they are well mannered when they stay.

If you are thinking of taking your dog on your UK staycation, here are our top 5 tips to make sure you both get the relaxing break you deserve.

Make sure you have a secure garden

Your dog deserves to have somewhere they can go outside that is secure and they can do their business in peace. Think 7am in the morning… the last thing you want is to have to get dressed and dash straight out the door. A secure garden means lazy breakfasts in bed, before heading out on your adventures.

Ask for a crate if your dog is used to one

Any good holiday let provider that really is dog friendly will have a crate you can use. Help your dog to feel at home by bringing their favourite blanket and sticking to your usual routine.

Make sure you have some great dog walks on your doorstep

We’ve all done it before, arrived at a holiday let and had no idea where to go for a walk, or if it will be safe to let our dogs off lead. Make sure you find a holiday let provider that has a range of walks straight from the doorstep. The last thing you want is to have to head out in the car just to go for a wander. At Rowley Farm Holidays we have numerous footpaths directly off the site and over 50 acres for you to explore.

Make sure there are plenty of dog friendly pubs and restaurant nearby

Bringing your pooch away does not mean leaving them locked up in the holiday let when its time to go out for supper. Find a holiday let that is surrounded by dog friendly pubs so that the whole family can go out together. At Rowley Farm Holidays we have lots of local dog friendly pubs within a 3 mile radius.  

Look for the extra special touches

Find a dog friendly holiday let provider that really is passionate about dogs, then nothing is too much trouble. At Rowley Farm Holidays we have built an outside hot and cold dog wash with dog friendly shampoos, dog treats and dog towels to make sure that you can keep your pooch fresh and clean. There are dog treats in the kitchen and dog bowels in all the accommodation.
