It may sound silly, but if you're considering bringing your pup along on holiday, then you're gonna need to plan quite a bit in advance.Make sure your dog is up to date on vaccinations, and you've got an up to date copy of all his important documents. Your dog should also be microchipped just in case.Then you just need to figure out if it's possible for your dog to join the ride. Literally. Can he go in the rented car? Or have a spot in the hotel room? Does he need a dog passport?

Realistically, if you're taking yourdog on holiday, the safest and easiest way to travel is by car. If you have a little travel crate that they are comfortable in, bring that instead of letting them roam around the car while you're trying to concentrate on steering. There are also dog harnesses for cars.Make sure your dog has enough water and some toys to chew on in the back. Also take regular breaks so that they can have a little run around and relieve themselves.

If you're planning on going somewhere a bit further away, your dog may have to fly. Flying for dogs can be rather uncomfortable and nerve-wracking if they have to go in the hold. So try and take them in the cabin with you.Remember a lot of airlines don't allow pets onboard, and the ones that do are quite expensive.Do some research before you start planning doggy beach excursions.You can also bring your dog along on most boats and ferries, just double check before.

If you want your pet to stay the night with you in your hotel room, look up pet-friendly hotels at your destination. Otherwise, they may be allowed to camp with you or stay in a caravan park. Always bring your dog's bed along with you in case, and it will make them more comfortable as it's familiar.

Before you let your dog roam free along the beach, make sure you know where the nearest vet is in your holiday destination. Also, stock up on enough dog food for the week. Don't forget their collar and lead, and of course, their favourite toy.
