Pets and Holidays

How can I find a good boarding facility for my companion animal?

There are many instances where animals may need to stay at a boarding facility, such as when their owners are travelling or in hospital.

What do I need to know about taking my dog on a road trip with my family?

Never leave your dog unattended in a car. Dogs can very quickly suffer from potentially fatal heat stress, even in mild weather. Take some time to prepare for your road trip with your dog so that your holiday is as safe and relaxed as possible for both of you.

Can I take my cat with me when I go on holiday?

Usually, it’s not feasible to take your cat on holiday with you. Cats can become stressed with travel, transport, and changes in their environment and routine. Therefore, it is preferable to make arrangements for the care of your cat while you are away.

How can I train my pet to feel comfortable in a transport carrier?

Travel is part of life for us and our companion animals, whether it’s a trip to the vet, groomer or even just a short ride to the park. But for many cats and dogs, the carrier can be a source of stress and fear.
