Pet Travel Devon - Transport De-luxe!

Pet travelling requires a little planning which is well worth the effort as the pleasure of your pooches' well-earned holiday is at stake. Firstly the obvious, make sure when booking your accommodation that it's Pet Friendly. Get specific details from them on what they mean by 'Pet Friendly', as this does vary. Some guesthouses, hotels and self-catering options may have some very strict rules which may be impossible for your 'tear-away' pet to follow.

Self-catering options are often a preferable choice, giving a little more freedom, however some accommodation owners will not allow pets to be left alone in the apartment, flat or holiday cottage is not an option. Always check this, plus it's well worth checking the layout of any accommodation. If you have an elderly pet who struggles up and down stairs, you may not want the cottage with the iron spiral staircase. You may require an enclosed garden area so your pet doesn't end up charging across the Devon countryside. Think also about how you will transport your pet. If you own a car and your dog is car trained then it will no doubt be a smooth run, but if you're choosing public transport then think it through. The accommodation at the other end may be perfrect, but if the journey there with your pet is horrendous you could end up frazzled!!!!!!

Dog carriers may be useful if transporting your pet, especially for smaller dogs. These are usually a crate design made up of wire panels. the bottom panel will normally have a gray, either in metal or plastic, and the wire panels conveniently fold down making it into a flat pack, ideal for carrying about.

Pet Friendly Accommodation Types, Pet Insurance and Cat & Dog Sitting!

Pet friendly accommodation types run across the whole spectrum, including dog friendly hotels, pet welcome guesthouses and B&Bs, and lots of pet friendly self-catering options from apartments, holiday cottages or flats and always a popular favourite with pet owners - the caravan or holiday park. Caravan and Holiday Parks on the whole welcome pets, and have the bonus of usually being set in countryside surrounds, with ample dog walking arrangements right on your doorstep. Most accommodations now state clearly whether they welcome pets or not, and be aware some may make a small charge for the privilege! Pet insurance for pet travel within the UK is not really an issue - it only becomes one when you're taking your pet abroad and issues like quarantine and rabies vaccination requirements apply. What is always a good idea if travelling with your pet in the UK however, is to get pooch or mog microchipped, so that if by any chance you are separated from your pet during your holiday!, they can be easily identified. This is also recommended for small children and wayward husbands!

Not every pet owner will want to take their pet with them - obviously with cats this is more likely. With cats, they do love their own homes and as we cat owners know, they hate to be moved. If at all possible try and get one of your cat lover friends to cat sit (most cat lovers have bonded with other cat lovers so this is a common option when going away on holiday). See if there's a local LETS Scheme in your area - LETS stands for Local Exchange and Trading Scheme, and works when people in the community get together and exchange skills and services. Often people offer to cat or dog sit. See the list of LETS schemes nationally on the letslinkuk.net site.
