Fall (or autumn as they say in the UK) is just around the corner, and while the leaves will still fall as they always do, this year the season will be different due to the pandemic. This means activities you might normally enjoy, such as large meet-ups and dog walks with fellow pet parents, may be restricted or altogether canceled. But that only means you will have to get a little creative when it comes to having fun this fall….
The UK’s largest membership body for the veterinary profession, the British Veterinary Association, is calling on the government to set out changes to pet travel rules as soon as possible to help vets manage demand from pet parents. Pet parents may have to consult their vet at least four months ahead of any planned trips to ensure that their cat, dog or ferret has had all the necessary vaccines, checks and documentation issued ahead of travel after the end of…
As lockdown continues to ease across the USA more people are traveling within the states again and many of them will be bringing their dogs with them.

Travel news site Peter Greenberg Worldwide put together a small list of useful apps for when you travel with your…

On this latest adventure I revisit a small little piece of Essex that I had first seen back in 2016. Here’s a few cool snaps from that visit from three years ago. Now flash forward to now in 2019 and Danny and I found ourselves…
The Oldest City in America! Which one is that you ask? Well it is none other than St. Augustine in Florida, just as it says in the title. I had the pleasure of taking my four paws throughout this beautiful gem of a city. But, I must say that I also brought the English weather with me. On the way to St. Augustine lies a tourist attraction that caught our eye: Florida Citrus Center and Souvenir World. There’s tons of…
I’ve heard so many great things about the Cotswolds, but mostly I’ve heard about how that’s where many of the rich people in England live! Naturally, my human and I were curious about what exactly is so special about this place. As we last left off on our British Road trip, we touched down on the Lake District and spent a day there on a steamboat ride. After that we recharged our batteries at a hotel at Stoke-on-Trent, but we…

If you came here because you thought it would be all about the 4 seasons hotel in Bournemouth then I’m afraid to tell you that the closest one is in London. Sorry to disappoint. But if you came here to see the four different seasons of Bournemouth, well then I’m afraid you will also be disappointed because the UK is only known for having: Winter, Almost Winter, and Rain. But…
Hi guys! I thought I would take a small break from our British adventures to show you what it’s like to travel around in the metro in Spain! Now Spain has some pretty strict rules when it comes to taking your dog in the metro! I had a little afternoon out in Barcelona and hopped on the Metro to the famous Sagrada Familia to show you what it’s like to take the metro in the city. As you may…
