Taking Your Pets Caravaning

By Julie Steed

If you can ´take your pets on holiday it is good for everyone܂ Your pet will enjoy ´the change of scenery and you will feel more relaxed having your pets with you܂ In addition‚ you can save quite a bit of money by avoiding kennel fees܂

You need ´to find a site ´that is willing ´to allow you ´to bring your pet܂ Some sites allow cats and dogs‚ but are not happy when someone brings a more exotic pet܂ If ´the site is happy ´to ´take you pet find out if they have any rules ´that your pet needs ´to comply with whilst on ´the site܂ Most sites accept dogs‚ but ´they must be kept on a lead and have ´to be ´taken for a walk off site܂

Make sure ´that your pet can ´travel comfortably and safely with you in ´the car܂ It is not safe ´to let your pet travel in ´the caravan܂ Stop and exercise your pet if you are going on a long journey܂ It is a good idea ´to get a cage that fits into ´the boot‚ into which you can put your pets bed a little food and a ´travel water bowl܂ Make sure ´that your pet is not ´too hot‚ cold or ´too cramped during ´the journey‚ ´they need fresh air‚ but must not ´travel in a draft܂

If you have a pet ´that you can leave in the caravan when you go out make sure ´that ´there is plenty of ventilation‚ caravans get much hotter ´than most houses܂ Make sure ´that you leave plenty of food and water and ´that your pet has access ´to ´their normal bed‚ so ´that ´they feel secure܂ Before you go‚ spend some ´time in ´the caravan with your pet‚ ´this way ´they will be used ´to ´the caravan and happy ´to go with you on holiday܂

If ´the site allows you ´to ´tie your animal up outside use a peg and lead that is designed specifically for ´this purpose܂ You can buy them in good caravan and camping shops܂
