How to holiday with your dog | Lottie Gross

Back in 2016, I spent 33 hours in the back of a van crossing mainland Europe with eight dogs.

This wasn’t my idea of a fun road trip. The truth is, I’d hired a company to transport my dog so he could join me on holiday in the Czech Republic. But he’s a nervous traveller, and I was worried about how he would cope on the road. So instead of flying ahead and meeting him there, I climbed into the van to keep him company.

When it comes to holidaying with your pet, the anxiety starts long before the trip begins. There’s the paperwork, vaccinations, transport, pet-friendly accommodation, and figuring out what you can actually do together once you arrive. Because a dog-friendly holiday isn’t just about getting there, it’s about making sure both you and your dog enjoy the trip once you do.

Today I’m joined by one of the leading experts on travelling with your dog. Lottie Gross is a best-selling author who has spent years exploring the UK and beyond to uncover the very best pet-friendly accommodations, activities and destinations. Her upcoming books include guides to Scotland and the Cotswolds. Today, we’ll explore the practicalities of travelling with pets and how to plan holidays that work for you and your four-legged friend.
