    What wonderful people you are. Our dogs were the same reason we started caravanning. When all the offspring left home and we had no one to look after them when we went away, my good lady said let’s get a caravan and take them with us. We don’t do kennels they are family. Best thing we ever did wish we started years ago. You say his crate restricts his space a bit. We have a hammock on the back seat so our dog (we only have the one now) is fully enclosed on the back seat. He wares a harness to which we clip a short lead to and this clips in the seat belt catch. This safety restrains him in the event of sudden breaking. Just to add this lead should never be attached to a dog collar but the harness. He has free movement across the back seat but is safe. We also have a similar cold coat to you it’s brilliant. We also have those clip on rechargeable fans, great minds, as they say😂

      Hi there Bob, thanks for watching 👍 yes we think it's a popular reason to start caravanning, it's such a dog friendly way to holiday. When we used to travel abroad, we had the luxury of Sarah's mum looking after Dozer, but as he got older it just made so much sense to start caravanning. We just don't want to be apart from him now. We'll look into a hammock, but for Dozer, it's easier access into the boot than the back seat, bit well worth a look. Thanks again and all the best 🙂 Mac & Sarah

    Lucky Dozer to have such caring and thoughful owners. One thing to keep him cool in the Caravan is the 'Vent' facility on the Truma blown air system, you probably have the same in your 'van. It can rapidly cool down the interior fairly well. Just a little thing I found usefull during a hot spell one July in Yorkshire ( rare I know, but it did happen once.) Sadly we lost our family dog many years ago and never had a chance to use that feature for our pet. All those tips for life with a senior dog are great Keep up the good videos and enjoy the time with your elderly family pet.

So our buggy, we actually researched the largest and easiest to use them we're lucky enough to find one on eBay which had only been used once or twice. Ours is the Innopet Mamut XL. The quality is great. We don't use the canopy as much as Dozer likes to be able to see everything and jump out when he wants too. All in all we'd definitely recommend that model.

    These are pretty good tips for travelling with any dog. 2 of our caravanning friends have buggies for their senior dogs, they are game changer. Our dog is only 3 but isn’t a fan of travelling in the car. He’s better with my sister’s dog but we can’t always do that. Like you we choose shorter distances or plenty of stops. He’s currently snoozing on my lap initially lifting his head every time the barking marked a new tip. He’s lost interest now though.

    Oh I did chuckle through much of this vlog, many of the tips you list also work for senior two legged companions too! Like with Dozer, when the spirit is still willing, but the body doesn't always agree and the love is as strong as ever...... For when accidents happen, a couple of things you could look at. A VAX spot cleaner is very effective or on the containment side some absorbent pads. Look under the somewhat unkind names of "Pig Mats" or "Incontinence Pads", Both are available in various sizes, some are large enough to fit well in Dog crates. A couple of first aid items, self adherent cohesive bandages and gauze pads. The bandage does not stick to flesh or fur so is great for holding a protective dressing (gauze) in place without causing distress with furry friends, children or frail elderly skin.

    Hi Mac and Sarah. You really are such a caring hooman Mum and Dad to your gorgeous elderly fur baby boy. He's such a lovely squidgypud and he's deffo worth the TLC and extra planning you give to your precious trips away with him. We can relate a lot to this video as we have a still energetic 11.5 yo female Vizsla. She is showing signs of slowing down, albeit gradually, but we know and recognise the issues you have with your boy. Like you, we bought the caravan in 2022 to holiday in the UK with Xenna as we were loathe to leave her anymore in kennels during trips abroad. Also holiday cottage prices became illogical post Covid. Regarding your tips. We replicate most, but haven't invested in either a ramp or a buggy yet. We have elevated food and water bowls and regular water provision is always a priority in and outside the caravan. Everywhere has to be dog friendly including pubs, eateries, cafés and attractions and we look for serviced pitches surrounded by sizeable grass, so that Xenna can hop out quickly at night for a toilet if required. Finally, we use the bin in the caravan door to store most of Xenna's "essentials" during our trips to make them very accessible. Things like treats, Yu- Move tablets, wormer, spare poo bags, brush, cloth, towel etc. We bought a bigger 25L lightweight flip top bin with handle for general rubbish that we bungee tightly to the caravan step outside. Keep the content going. We look forward to the next one. Best wishes, Graham and Pam x❤

      Hey Graham, Pam & Xenna 🙂 sounds like we all caravan for the same reasons! That's a great idea to use the door mounted bin for Xennas bit n bobs, must confess we do now need some elevated bowls, I think Dozer would appreciate those! Of course we'd all do anything to keep our doggos happy, safe and comfortable wouldn't we? ❤️ Thanks again and all the best best Mac, Sarah & Dozer

    We had two elderly labradors one of 15 and one of 13 and like Dozer needed extra blankets as time went on. I found some Sherpa type blankets that are waterproof on Amazon. They are lovely blankets and wash very well. I’ve had them for about three years and they stayed waterproof all that time with plenty of washing. Unfortunately we no longer have our beautiful girls, but now have a 17 week old lab puppy so the blankets again were useful on a recent trip to Weymouth. Some great tips you have given, have a good year .

    It's so nice to see you taking care of your lovely Dozer! We've had elderly dogs for the past years and as they were all rescues, there was always a senior dog around. Your tipps are great❤ I also always take some cat milk on longer trips in the car or exploring and pop some in their water bowl to make sure they drink enough during the day.

    Some good tips there. Which buggy is it you use? We have a 12 year old chocolate lab, so have the same issues if she goes too far. We tried one, it was big enough and she was within the weight limit, but first time we used it the wheel went down a dip and broke!

      Oh nooo! Dozer's wagon is an Innopet Mamut XL. It's really durable well made, we picked it up on eBay a few years ago and it had only been used a couple of times. It's been a godnsend really. Hope you manage to get another. Thanks for watching 👍

    We've never had the half board plan, mainly because we normally have the Golden Forest club room, which comes with breakfast and afternoon tea. Maybe in the future if we manage a trip without the kids, it would be nice to try more than Earl of Sandwich, which is my daughter's favourite. I think you chose the wrong Steakhouse, Silver Spur may have been better. If you go back, Brasserie Rosalie looks a good option in the village.

    What I loved about this vlog is how it shows how much you can get up to without going on any rides. After all, the best thing about DLP for me is just being there. Those food stands in Place De Remy are such a good addition and fit in so well with the area.

    • @MacSarah
