Hvad skal du huske når du holder ferie med din hund ? 

Ligesom du pakker sengetøj og lagner, når ferien står for døren, skal du også tage hundens personlige ejendele med.

Det gælder blandt andet:When you go on holiday with your dog, it requires special packing for your four-legged friend. They need much of their basic equipment with them to be comfortable both day and night.

If the holiday is during the summer period, you should also consider special accessories that can make it fun for the dog to be outside in the heat.

Below, you can read more about the things you need to make sure to pack when you go on holiday with your dog.

What should you remember when you are on holiday with your dog?

Just as you pack bedding and sheets when the holiday is upon you, you should also bring your dog’s personal belongings.

This includes:

·         Dog bed/mattress

·         Food bowl/water bowl

·         Food

·         Collar and harness

·         Teddy bear or special favorite toy

It is significant for your dog to have its personal things with it. It will find it easier to relax during the day and sleep at night when it has its own bed/blanket to rest and sleep in. The bed smells of home, and this will create calm for the dog.

Many pets have a special dog teddy or a piece of toy that is extra meaningful. It is a good idea to bring this along, as it creates familiarity and safe surroundings for the dog.

You get the most practical conditions on the holiday when you have a collapsible food and water bowl. It’s possible that there are no functional bowls in the holiday home suitable for water and food, and the collapsible bowls don’t take up much space in the suitcase.

On holiday, it should be possible for you to take your dog on adventures. Therefore, a collar, harness, and leash must also be packed so you can go on excursions to cities or natural areas together.

Specifically about transport in the car

One thing is to have control over the equipment for the actual holiday; another is to create safety in connection with the transport. When you have your dog in the car, it is crucial that it is properly secured. For this purpose, you should use a transport crate, which can be purchased in different versions and sizes, or you can secure the dog properly with a safety harness designed for dogs.

For the smallest dogs, a fabric crate may be sufficient. This ensures that the dog does not move around in the car. These crates are practical, and they can also be used when you visit with your four-legged friend. There is a handle on top of the crate, so you can carry it with you.

For large dogs, a transport crate made of aluminum should be chosen. These are designed to be fixed to the floor of the trunk, providing the most secure and safe conditions for your dog in the car. Should an accident occur, your dog is safe in the crate, and the risk of damage inside the car is minimized.

A transport crate is an indispensable safety accessory for the car. This applies regardless of which dog you have. Should you be involved in an accident, the weight of the dog can generate tremendous force when it is not properly secured.

In addition to the transport crate, there may be other accessories that will be significant for you and your dog in connection with transport. It could be a protective cover for the bumper, or it could be ramps so your dog can get up and down by itself.

Accessories and toys that can create great value for your dog on holiday

For the summer holiday, you should think about the heat for your dog. It can become uncomfortable if it does not have the opportunity to cool down. For this purpose, you can choose blankets and activity toys with cooling effects, which your dog will love.

On the beach, you can bring toys that have been in the freezer and can be used for drinking cold liquid and cooling down. This toy contributes to ensuring that your dog does not drink the seawater and that it feels good on the hot summer days.

In the holiday home, a blanket with a fountain effect, a dog pool, or a cooling blanket could become your dog’s favorites.

Generally, it is a good idea to choose toys that are specifically designed for holiday purposes. Today, there is a large selection of practical accessories and specially designed toys. Toys with a floating effect can be perfect for play and training at the beach.

When it comes to purchasing equipment and accessories for dogs, it is worth opting for quality. When you choose the best products on the market, it is not only on holidays that your dog can enjoy the equipment. It can be used at home and in many other connections.

It does not have to be a large item on the budget when you prepare for a holiday with your dog. Purchasing safety equipment and accessories is an investment in your dog’s well-being in both the short and long term.
