Taking your dog abroad

I see you’ve got two reds stripes now,

Never regret taking them, one year we went out with one and came back with two.

Held off getting a dog for years as thought it would be a pain ... not regretted our rescue for an instant. My only concern would if we were somewhere very hot, but somehow we seem to manage to avoid feeling the sun warm our bones!

Started using a camping-car so that dogs could be with us. Holiday not a holiday without them around. Pity we can't shrink them whilst on the road then re-inflate them when we arrive. Only problem is trying to 'legally' restrain them whilst on the road. Not that they are a problem coming into the cab but they do swap position every so often and 2 seat belt extenders can get very tangled. Have tried using a cargo net across the back of the front seats, would be good if it could be fixed firmly but not wanting to mount fixing points on the vehicle frame.

Never regretted taking our Golden Retriever, having a pet with you can be a good ice breaker even on the continent.

go without her. ?.

That dog looks nearly human ?

 

[Clunegapyears]

She’s obviously navigator and boss!

Only the morning he went in to a French couple's van and ate half their breadstick.

We love having our dog with us when we go away, she's very much a part of our family.

We take a cat and she loves the traveling life ?

We find French & Spanish restaurants usually allow our cockapoo to lie under our table (better than the usual stuffed up English). Dogs make a lot less mess than children.

What we could start is a list of friendly vets in France that don't rip you off for the dog worming on the return trip. At channel ports we have heard some charging 60 Euros whereas in central France we have paid as little as 13.

If we couldn't take the dogs we wouldn't go. Sad, but true...

Yes. After five years travelling without a dog we find that having got a rescue dog a year ago it has massively changed our travelling experience. I wouldn't be without her now and have to accept that the things we do have changed because of her, with 20/20 hindsight, I wouldn't have got her.

That would make an excellent additional POI layer for the WC app.

I don't regret taking my ? over to Europe,but a few people over there probably do...like the German guy that got slammed in the back of his legs on the beach and went down like a sack of &£7%,or the woman's leg he peed on,or the surfers flip flop he stole,or the french couple he terrorised when he jumped into their van or.....well I could go on!
