Proper preparation will make taking your puppy on holiday a doddle. After all, your puppy’s a part of your family, so it wouldn’t be a family holiday without them!

This episode sees your host and editor of My VIP magazine – the customer magazine for Pets at Home – me, Kate Cornish, talk to Karlien Hyerman, Head of Pets, Pets at Home and Claire North, Director, North Canine Dog Training, about what to think about before you even head out of the front door, getting your puppy used to the car, plus everything that travelling long distances in a car with a puppy can entail. Yes, as ever, our favourite topics of sick and poo do crop up, but they are nicely counterbalanced with tons of ideas for useful products, along with brilliant advice on how to prepare your puppy for their holiday!
