How To Keep Tails Wagging On Holiday

If you’re a pet parent, you’re likely familiar with the heart-sinking feeling of leaving your beloved pooch behind when you go on a family holiday. I mean, is it really a family vacation if your furry, four-legged family member isn’t there?

Travelling with your dog may take a little extra planning, but the joy that comes with seeing them enjoy their holiday as much as you is always worth the effort. Think frantic tail wags, tongues hanging out and zoomies up and down a dog-friendly beach. It’s adorable.

Finding pet-friendly accommodation doesn’t have to be a chore either. BIG4 Holiday Parks offer more than 100 dog-friendly camping, caravan and self-contained holiday destinations across the country, so finding a place to stay is easier than ever.
