Dog tails will be wagging madly in anticipation of the release of Pets on Holiday. After all, who wants to be left at home, or worse, sent to a boarding kennel with a bunch of other dogs you’ve never met before?

The book aims to give you a guide to over 650 pet-friendly accommodation options around Australia to which you can take your pooch. It includes loads of handy information, such as whether a property is fenced, if your four-legged family member may lounge on the furniture or not, and even the size of the pet allowed. It also includes local cafés, activities and attractions where your dog will be more than welcome.

For those of us who would love Fido to join us on our holidays (and there are a lot of us!) this is a really useful guide. You can also find more info at the author’s website at petcheck-in.com.au.
