Whether you’re heading to the coast, camping under the stars, exploring the countryside or simply enjoying days out together, a little preparation can make all the difference. Here’s our guide to keeping your four-legged family member happy, healthy and safe this summer.
🐾🚗TRAVELLING BY CAR🚗🐾 For many dogs, the holiday begins with a car journey. Some love it, while others find travelling stressful or suffer from motion sickness. If your dog gets anxious, signs can include: ✔Excessive panting ✔Drooling ✔Whining ✔Restlessness ✔Pacing There are plenty of ways to help them feel more relaxed, including calming supplements, pheromone sprays, calming collars and natural remedies. Furthermore, if your dog struggles with travel sickness, we stock products designed to reduce nausea and help make journeys more comfortable. Our team can help you choose the right solution based on your dog’s age, size and temperament.
🐾BUCKLE UP🐾 Did you know that an unsecured dog can become a serious distraction—or even a dangerous projectile in an emergency stop? A quality seat belt harness or safety clip helps keep your dog secure while allowing them to travel comfortably. It’s a simple piece of kit that could make a huge difference in protecting both your dog and everyone else in the car.
🐩STAYING COOL ON THE BEACH🐈 Dogs can overheat surprisingly quickly. If you’re spending the day on the beach, make sure they always have: ✔ Plenty of fresh drinking water ✔ Shade to escape the midday sun ✔ Regular rest breaks ✔ Sunscreen to protect noses and ears, particularly on white coated dogs Beach shelters are a brilliant way to create a cool, shaded retreat, especially if you’re staying for several hours.
