Essentials to pack for a stress-free summer holiday with your dog

Are you thinking of going away this summer? If you’re planning a summer getaway you may be thinking about bringing the dog along. We’ve got a checklist of essentials to take with you for a summer holiday with your dog.   

If you’re travelling with dogs, there is a strong chance that at some point you are going to be in a car.  Ensuring your car is suitably equipped is essential to ensure that you avoid fines for having an unrestrained dog in your car.  The simple way to do this and be able to transport your luggage safely too is to add a Travall Guard, Divider and TailGate.  Your pup has a secure position on the journey and is kept away from heavy luggage that might ordinarily slide into your dog’s space in transit.
