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.
