Pet Insurance

Taking your pet out of his usual environment to your holiday destination could affect his physical and mental well being. For this reason, if you don’t already have some kind of pet insurance, you are well advised to purchase a policy well before your travel date. Here are a few resources to get you started.

Pet Friendly Hotels

Check at the time of booking that the holiday accommodation you are considering allows pets. Don’t just turn up with your pet on the day! You may want to make enquiries as to whether you will be charged for your dog.

Dog Travel

You will be taking your dog out of his usual environment into a ’strange new world’ so the more you can simulate his home environment the better it will be for him. If he normally sleeps in his own special basket or has a comfort blanket, make sure you bring these with you. He’ll probably be grateful if you pack his favourite toy, too. If your dog can’t settle, either in the car or in his new tempory home, it will help if you provide one of your old jumpers for him to snuggle into. Your familiar scent will provide some comfort for him.

It can get very hot and stuffy when travelling by car or train so make sure you pack some water for your dog, and don’t forget to make regular stops so he can relieve himself. Make sure you open the car windows, too.

Your Dog on Holiday

You MUST keep yor dog on a lead! Fido may walk perfectly safely off the lead at home but on holiday, he will encounter strange sights, smells and noises which may startle him and make him bolt unexpectedly. Also, here is Skegness, it is a requirement that dogs are kept on a lead on the seafront and in public gardens.

Make sure your dog wears an identification tag incase the worse happens and he strays in his unfamiliar surroundings.

NEVER leave your dog in the car on its own. Cars get very hot inside! The police have powers, and I have on many occasions seen these exercised, to break into your car and rescue a distressed dog.

Dogs Beach Ban

Dogs are banned from the beach in Skegness during the main holiday periods. Please see the East Lindsey District Council’s Guide on Dog Control (includes a link to a map of areas where dogs are banned or must be on a lead in Skegness.

Dog Fouling

There is a fixed penalty for letting your dog foul in certain areas so make sure you carry your poop scoop or one of the roll of plastic bags you remembered to pack. You may deposit the bag in any public waste bin.

Pet Medication

If your pet is on medication DON’T FORGET to bring it on holiday with you. Our local vet in Skegness is Fenwold Veterinary Practice, Heath Road, Industrial Estate, Off Wainfleet Road, telephone 01754 767444.
