Pet Friendly Hotels, Bed and Breakfast Pet Friendly and Dog Travel

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 Yorkshire 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 Accommodations in the North West

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!

Blackpool pet friendly bed and breakfasts and pet friendly hotels abound, which is good news for the many families with pets holidaying to North West seaside hotspot Blackpool. You'll also find a selection of pet friendly country cottages in Lancashire and elsewhere in the rural North West. Holiday parks across the North West, especially around Blackpool, are extremely pet friendly with lots of easily accessible dog walking areas on-site. Many of the larger chain hotels in cities and towns like Liverpool, Manchester and Chester are beginning to recognise the demand for pet friendly hotels and are obliging accordingly. A top tip for travel with dog is to always check whether there are specific regulations regarding leaving your dog alone in rooms, and access to certain areas in holiday cottages, for example dogs may not be allowed upstairs and so forth.

Pet Travel Kennels and Catteries - Holidays for Cats & Dogs!

Rule number one on Dog Kennels and Catteries - check them out yourself! Some provide indoor and some outdoor accommodation, and all good kennels and catteries will require that pets staying with them have been fully vaccinated and neutered. Catteries should be licensed by the relevant local authority which will be on display - check this! The best kennels and catteries get excellent reputations, spread by word of mouth, so if you find out which these are you'll need to book well in advance to guarantee a space! When you visit to check them out - do they look clean and tidy, no old food lying about, friendly and pleasant staff, excellent ventilation and fully self-contained - you don't want your pet running rampant!

Also, make sure you check on Pet Insurance at the Cattery or Kennel. All should have this! In Catteries check on the conditions of both indoor or outdoor pet accommodation when you visit - indoor accommodation will usually be in small individual unit format, leading onto a corridor. All units should have separate sleeping area, eating area and litter area, and plenty of room for puss to move around and get exercise, with access to fresh air and natural light. Outdoor accommodation will be units again, with concrete floor for easy cleaning, with a separate heated sleeping area and separate area for litter try and food. If you've got an older cat, you'll especially need to check that the leeping area is heated.

Most outdoor catteries will lock puss in the heated sleeping area with food, water and litter facilities at night. Always a good idea to leave a teleophone number to contact you - good catteries and kennels will ask for this of course. Remember to take your vaccination proof with you when you drop your pet off, plus it's always a good idea to take them to a cattery or kennel a few days before you go on holiday, or the day before. Searching for a good dog kennel runs along similar lines to cattery advice above. Essential again is that personal visit, and check that they only accept vaccinated dogs! Check the cleanliness, friendliness of staff, dog walking arrangements - at least twice a day! What do the units look like? Kennels can be noisy, do the present pooch residents look happy and contented? Check heated sleeping arrangements and walking arrangements!
