Click your choice of dog friendly accommodation on Dartmoor in Devon
Find yourself dog friendly accommodation here on Dartmoor in Devon. Some landladies are happy for you to
bring your dog in, and some are happy for you to bring the dog if it will stay in your vehicle overnight.
Our dog Topsy, has always been happy sleeping in the back of our estate car, but I do like to be able to see the car
easily from the house. If you are booking a hotel or Bed and Breakfast stay, make sure that the owner knows you will be bringing your pet with you, and discuss the needs of the dog before you come, so that there are no awkward moments when you arrive. Bring your dog's own dog bed and make sure that you pop some clean bedding in your luggage.
See our walking pages for going out on "walkies!"
If you think your dog might have a problem settling into a strange room, then a good idea is to bring a handful of
favourite toys and an item of clothing out of your dirtywashing basket at home, a woollen jumper say, so that your
reassuring smell will help keep your dog calm. It pays to keep to the same routine you have at home.
If you take the dog out last thing before you finally turn in at night at home, then try to do so on holiday too.
Look out for the green writing on our other holiday pages to know that your dog is welcome either whole heartedly
or by arrangement - there might be some reservations.
For instance there may be a dog in season at the house already,
and that could be tricky! Pack the dog's feeding bowls, flingers, toys,
frisbees and most important of all,the dog lead that is vital for some
sections of the Moor where stock is around.
Do find the right place for you and your dog in my listings so that you can
enjoy your time away and not worry that you are in the right place.
Some places do not welcome dogs, such as the beach or National Trust
properties. The best places of all are the ones that
announce "dogs invited" or "dogs welcome".
Have you thought about using a day kennel whilst you are
here on holiday ? One of our campsites, Woodland Springs offers
day kennels on site, so that you can leave your dog in a cool secure
space instead of the back of your hot car.
It's well worth considering.
Do let me have a photo of your dog on Dartmoor. I should love to show it on my website.
Take a look at the Pet Supermarket website to see what the deal of the day is today
