Pet travel requires a little planning which is well worth the effort as the pleasure of your pooches' well-earned holiday is at stake. Firstly the obvious, make sure when booking your accommodation that it's Pet Friendly in Wales - there's plenty of them across holiday cottages Wales, pet friendly hotels and dog friendly/pets welcome Caravan and Camping parks in Wales. Get specific details from them on what they mean by 'Pet Friendly', as this does vary. Some guesthouses, hotels and self-catering options may have some very strict rules which may be impossible for your 'tear-away' pet to follow.

Dog friendly self-catering holiday options are often a preferable choice, giving a little more freedom, however some accommodation owners will not allow pets to be left alone in the apartment, flat or holiday cottage. Always check this, plus it's well worth checking the layout of any accommodation. If you have an elderly pet who struggles up and down stairs, you may not want the cottage with the iron spiral staircase. You may also require an enclosed garden area. Think also about how you will transport your pet. If you own a car and your dog is car trained then it will no doubt be a smooth run, but if you're choosing public transport then think it through.

Dog carriers may be useful if transporting your pet, especially for smaller dogs. These are usually a crate design made up of wire panels. the bottom panel will normally have a gray, either in metal or plastic, and the wire panels conveniently fold down making it into a flat pack, ideal for carrying about. Visitors to Wales looking for pet friendly accommodation will find numerous self catering pets welcome caravan or holiday parks. If you're bringing your own tourer or caravan to one of Wales' many holiday parks or caravan park then even better!

Most accommodations now state clearly whether they welcome pets or not, and be aware some may make a small charge for the privilege! Pet insurance for pet travel within the UK is not really an issue - it only becomes one when you're taking your pet abroad and issues like quarantine and rabies vaccination requirements apply. What is always a good idea if travelling with your pet in the UK however, is to get pooch or mog microchipped, so that if by any chance you are separated from your pet during your holiday!, they can be easily identified. This is also recommended for small children and wayward husbands!
