Find a dog-friendly cottage

People who rent pet-friendly cottages understand that it is important to have a safe fully enclosed garden and are not going to complain about deposits on the lawn.  Chairs and soft furniture is usually covered by washable throws and flooring is easily cleaned. Forget thick carpets, holiday cottages that allow dogs are more likely to have tiled or laminate floors that it is easy to run a mop over.

Book a dog friendly cottage, ideally in the countryside, where walks with the dog are available in all directions. Where you go on holiday much depends on how much travel a dog can cope with to get there. For most people, the only form of transport is the car and some dogs do not travel well at all; a car sick dog is not a happy pet.  Other dogs, can sit in a moving car for hours without complaint. You know your dog and its limitations.
