1. Acclimatise Your Pet

New environments can be stressful for pets. Help your pet acclimatise to the holiday park by taking short walks around the area and allowing them to sniff and explore their new surroundings. Familiarise them with their new sleeping arrangements before bedtime to ensure they feel comfortable and secure.

2. Respect Park Rules and Other Guests

Always follow the park’s pet policies and rules. Keep your pet on a lead in designated areas, and be mindful of other guests who may not be comfortable around animals. Clean up after your pet and dispose of waste properly to keep the parks clean and enjoyable for everyone.

3. Maintain Routine

If you stick to your pet’s regular feeding and walking schedule as much as possible, that will help them with the transition to holiday mode. Maintaining a routine can help reduce stress and keep your pet calm so you can focus on a well-earned break.

4. Plan for Exercise

Regular exercise is important to keep your pet happy and healthy. Look for nearby parks or walking trails and plan daily exercise routines. This not only keeps your pet fit but also helps them expend energy, making them less restless in their new environment. Our owners are very fortunate; across all Inspire parks, there are plenty of walks and trails to explore; just ask one of the team!

5. Ensure Your Pet’s Comfort

Your pet’s comfort and well-being are paramount. Provide plenty of water and shade to keep them cool, especially during hot days. Bring familiar items like their favourite blanket or toy to help them feel at home. Keep an eye on their behaviour and health, and seek veterinary care if needed.
