Are you planning a summer vacation with your dog?

are you going away with your dog this summer?

Yes, we are going to Greece end of August. Shoei stays at home and my parents are watching him

I always take my dogs with me, we bought a caravan so we didn't have to leave them at home. Caravaning is so much cheaper than most holidays so we have a lot more now and go to a lot more places.

cool idea mattie, i've considered a campervan or a caravan, as most places that allow dogs only allow two and it's a complete pain packing up crates etc etc.
luckily my eldest son doesn't want to be seen with his mum on holiday anymore (not to good for street cred i think...lol) so i have a live in sitter for my holidays abroad which i love, but with puppies not planned anything yet for this year

off to spain.....shame that the two dogs aint comen....but its my first holiday really,apart from ireland,and holland 5times......

going with my gf and my daughter and some family....... cant wait....

Always take ours with us on holiday. Off to Devon in two weeks for runs on the beach. Just hope the weather is a bit better than it has been.

we are off to cyprus in 24 days jazz will be staying with my mum and dad and has been going round theres for a while now to get her used to the diferent place

The Caravan Club and Camping and Caravan Club all allow as many dogs as you have. I normally go on their sites with 6 dogs.

well nice to know they are so dog friendly, and i'll be able to smoke to, thats it off to look at autotrader.....

We have a caravan and plan our holidays around the championship shows. We have a week in May Edinburgh for the SKC & Scottish SBT shows, then a week in Kelso in June for the Border Union show, a long weekend in Stafford for the Parent club and Potteries SBT show, a week in August at Builth Wells for the Welsh Kennel Club show followed by a week in Edinburgh for the second SKC show. Already had the first one and we are going off again very soon for the second one!!

We've just come back from our first week away in the caravan with Jess. We've had a 'van for 12 years or so, been all over the UK and France and the kids have got used to not jumping around, getting all giddy and excited and getting under our feet while we set up.............now we've got another 'big kid' but with teeth!!!!! She bit through her lead within 5 mins of getting out of the car . After settling down we had a great week, and Jess loved it. Looking forward to 2 weeks on the East coast in August.

we have been to france a few times when the kids were younger some really good memories from the holidays
we used to have a folding camper great bit of kit and easier to tow than a van but took a little longer to set up

If you become a member, children camp free in low season, winter storage is £200, summer store is £362, so if you like a place you can keep it there all summer on your own pitch, even all year! theres lots of extras if you become a member and over 100 sites, facilities are really good too.
Happy camping

I have booked up a week in August to go camping with the dogs. We are going to an agility event which will be run for the week and all the money goes to Dog In Need .

We are taking Sable with us to a Holiday Park that allows ogs in cornwall in september, our first holiday with her so should be good.

may take Bezial fishing later this winter ( september) if we borrow my father in laws caravan and head of to the coast , bezials never seen a fish yet rotfl ... i can see it now heres a fish and he pats it with his hand and then eats its head ,, lol bye bye fish

whatever we do it will certainly be exciting as he will be just over 1 then

No holidays abroad planned this year, going to thorpe park next wednesday (which isnt a holiday, just a theme park in London ) and looking at going to centre parks around august time so we can take the dogs with us.

Might be going to Lanzarote next summer to visit my girlfriends brother and then the year after i wanna go to magaluf again

Cheers for that Caz, going to send for a brochure x x

After reading all the posts re number of dogs allowed etc does anyone know if you can get a decent caravan that comfortably (?) houses 6 people and 3 dogs lol already have a tow bar but i'm assuming a large enough van would be mega bucks?

We are going down South for a holiday in Kerry. we are staying at a fantastic caravanpark in a mobile home where dogs are very welcome.

I love takin the dogs on holiday, much prefer that than leaving them in kennels, though I do have a fantastic kennels near me who I totally trust and where Sully loves to go if he has to.

Cant wait to go on holiday havent had a proper on in two years and we are ALL going ot have a blast dog included
