Many people don't like leaving their pets at home and like them to experience a holiday too. There are a few factors to bear in mind if planning on taking your pet with you.
- Firstly check that pets are allowed in the area you want to go. Some National Parks do not allow any animals and campsites can also have rules.
- If you are allowed to take your pet, check whether there is an extra charge
- Only take a well behaved pet; a dog prone to barking will cause annoyance
- Keep animals on a leash
- Clear up any mess after your pet
- Do not leave your car locked in your vehicle
- Do not tie animals to trees or campground property
- Ensure that animals do not intimidate the local wildlife
- Feed them in the tent or camper as food left outside can attract other animals
- Do not leave pets out at night if there may be any threat from local wildlife.
