Holidays with your dog
Taking your pet on holiday with you now is not as problematic as it used to be. However, it is suggested that before you start to plan your trip, you should first consider taking the Good Citizen Dog Scheme test and so ensuring that you and your pet are socially acceptable wherever you may go.
Petlog
Remember to get your pet microchipped, then registered with Petlog Premium and if it already is, then ensure their details are updated whenever you go away. It is also worthwhile updating your pet’s ID tag with your holiday contact details and/or mobile phone number.
