🎒 Bring your dog's equipment
Don't forget your dog's own bed, favorite toy, and usual food. Many farms provide bowls, but familiar items help with settling in. Always have your dog's vaccination record and proof of liability insurance with you.
🌡️ Consider the season
Summer: Ensure sufficient shade and water sources. Winter: Protect paws from snow and road salt. For calm dogs or autumn holidays with your dog, these farms are particularly recommended during the off-season.
