IT'S estimated that more than half of motorhome owners also have at least one dog and it's not hard to see why the two go so well together if you've ever tried to take your canine on a hotel holiday. You wouldn't want to leave your best friend in kennels, either, so, here's everything you need to know about travelling with dogs in your motorhome.
THE ACCESSORIES
When packing your motorhome for touring you'll need to think about your dog's needs as well as your own, but some of these essential items can be left permanently in the ‘van. As with crockery, etc, it's good to have a second set of gear, rather than robbing your household kit.
• Leads, harnesses, extending leads
• Hook to secure a lead to the ground
• Dog bags
• Dog bed/crate
• Towels
• Brush
• Medication
• Food – tins/biscuits/treats
• Toys and chews
• Insurance
• Tick hook
• Vet contact details
Always make sure that your dog is wearing a collar with a tag recording your mobile phone number, so you can be contacted if your pet gets lost while you're away.
