* Pet Friendly Travelling - Tips for Preparing for a Road Trip

For destination ideas, ask friends who have taken their dog on holiday and check out websites with pet-friendly holiday listings, such as:

• HolidayingWithDogs.com.au – long-running directory of pet-friendly holiday stays across Australia.

• Stayz.com.au – holiday rentals with a pet-friendly filter for many regions.

• Wotif.com – hotel and holiday deals, some with clearly marked pet-friendly options.

• VisitNSW.com – the official NSW tourism site with trip planning advice and regional inspiration.

• IngeniaHolidays.com.au – holiday parks and cabins, many of which welcome dogs in selected areas.

• Pawtripper.com.au – dog-friendly accommodation, parks and travel tips with a strong NSW focus.

Please Note: For NSW-specific ideas, sites like Pawtripper.com.au can also be helpful for finding verified dog-friendly beaches, off-leash parks and things to do around NSW.

* NSW DOG-HOLIDAY CHECKLIST

A bit of prep goes a long way with dogs. Use this quick checklist to make sure your trip is set up to be safe, comfortable and fun for your dog as well as you.

• Check local rules - confirm where dogs are allowed at your destination (off-leash parks, dog-friendly beaches and any National Park restrictions).
• Plan for ticks and heat - many coastal and bush areas in NSW are paralysis tick hotspots; pack preventatives and do daily hands-on checks, especially after bush, beach or long-grass walks in known tick areas
• Confirm accommodation rules - ask in advance whether dogs can go inside, any size/number limits and whether the yard is securely fenced.
• Update ID details - make sure your dog’s microchip info is current and consider a temporary tag with your holiday contact number.
• Save a local vet - look up the nearest vet (and after-hours clinic) before you arrive so you’re not searching in an emergency.
