Dog Friendly Canal Boat Holidays

Most of Latelink’s  canal boat holiday companies allow dogs on their boats, but there are a few things to consider:

1. Pet Policy: Always check the specific pet policy of the boat rental company you are considering, as rules can vary. Some may charge an extra fee for pets or limit the number of dogs allowed.

   

2. Safety: Ensure your dog is comfortable on a boat. Some dogs might not be used to water or moving boats, so consider how your pet reacts to being on the water.

3. Leash and Supervision: Dogs should be kept on a leash while on the boat to prevent them from falling into the water or running off when the boat is docked.

4. Walking Areas: You’ll want to check if there are dog-friendly walks along the canal for bathroom breaks and exercise. Most canals have towpaths that are great for walks.

5. Clean-up: Be sure to clean up after your dog and be respectful of other boaters and canal-side residents.
