Pet Friendly Holiday Accommodation Tips
Hooray, you’re planning a pet friendly holiday! It’s a great way to explore new places and spend quality time with your furry family members. However, before you can enjoy your time away, you need to make sure your pets are ready for the journey. Here are some tips for preparing for your stay at pet friendly accommodation venues in South Africa.
Pet Friendly Accommodation Rules
Before you plan your trip, make sure to check the regulations for pet friendly accommodation in South Africa. Some places may have regulations on the size and breed of pets allowed, so it’s important to do your research beforehand.
Visit the Vet
It’s always a good idea to take your pet to the vet before a long trip. The vet can ensure that your pet is healthy and up to date on all their vaccinations. They can also give you advice on any additional vaccinations or medications your pet may need while traveling.
Make a Checklist
Make sure to pack all the essentials for your pet such as food, treats, toys, medication, a leash and a bed. It’s also a good idea to bring a first-aid kit in case of any emergencies.
Prepare in Advance
Whether you’re traveling by car, pet friendly flight or bus, you’ll need to get your pet used to their carrier. Let them explore the carrier and give them treats while inside so they get used to the space.
When staying in pet friendly accommodation that your fur babies are not used to, it’s important to practise separation so that your pets can handle being alone in the room should the need arise. Start by leaving them alone for short periods of time and gradually increase the time until they are comfortable being apart from you.
Make sure to have all your pet’s documents on hand, such as their health certificate and vaccination records. It’s also a good idea to bring a photo of your pet in case they get lost.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your pet is ready for a holiday in South Africa. With a little preparation, you can both enjoy your time away and create some amazing memories together.
