One of the benefits that many people are finding from caravanning is that it means they don’t have to put their beloved dogs into kennels while they are away. Instead due to some of the available caravan insurance policies they are able to take them with them. This is an advantage that Bed & Breakfast does not afford dog owners.
When you bear in mind that there are 7.3 million pet dogs in the UK, which equates to 43% of all households, calling us a nation of dog lovers is fair comment. As a result, an increasing number of caravan insurance policies taken out now include cover not only for the family, but also for the pet pooch.
One caravan insurance company offering such policies are Insure My Caravan. David Quick, Director of the firm is keen to stress how important it is to get the right insurance policy. He says, “With the current caravanning boom, more families are taking out caravan insurance that allows their dog to go on holiday too. It is a great way for your whole family to enjoy a break away whilst ensuring that you are still fully insured against all eventualities. At the end of the day, your dog does deserve a holiday too and there is no better way to spend your holiday than as a family.”
You will be able to take holidays with your dog in either static or touring caravans, and know you are covered for any accidental damage your dog may cause. You will also find that many caravan sites are becoming increasingly dog friendly, so there is no real reason for going through the pain of putting your dog in kennels. Indeed you will be saving yourself the cost of the kennels, so in fact you are receiving a double bonus.
So, if you are a dog owner, and looking to holiday in a caravan, don’t just assume you can’t take the dog. Look into what is available in terms of caravan insurance, and you will find that you will be able to take the dog, and save on the kennel bills. Bit of a no-brainer really!
