Travelling on your own with a pet


  
 


I wasnt sure what section to put this in? I have done trips with my little foxy but only in the car we have stayed at motels or caravan parks these have been only overnight trips.

I am after a bit of advice from experienced travellers who travel on their own with the dog. When travelling on your own what do you do when you have to leave your dog in the van when you go to use the loo or have a shower? Or what about popping into the shop?

My plan is to hire a camper a for about a fortnight to see how we go Lucy ( the dog) is a good traveller in the car and I think she will be ok if I left her for a short time but I would hate it if she started barking or getting stressed because I have left her?

Hi, I answered at the other thread but to add that I have a travel cage for my dog and if it is unsuitable in the van, too hot, I will leave her beside the van in her cage, it's her bed and she is quite relaxed to be in it.

You work it out as you go really, shop, shower at night when it's cool enough and they can stay in the van.

We use a travel pen as well. I can't say the boys love it, but the accept it, and I know they are safe.
I have a piece of shadecloth which can be thrown over it for extra shade if the awning isn't keeping the sun away.
I don't leave them for long though- found the kid from the next van inside the pen with them once. They were all having a great time.
