The Ultimate Guide to Dog Friendly Holidays Lincolnshire

1. Their Favourite Bed

A familiar dog bed makes all the difference when you’re staying somewhere new. It gives your pup a safe, comfortable space to relax and unwind, whether you’re lounging in your lodge or enjoying a cosy evening in.

It’s also great to pop in the car for a comfy spot during the journey. If you’re on the hunt for a new bed before your trip, there are plenty of lovely options available in nearby pet stores in Market Rasen or Horncastle.

2. Food, Water & Bowls

Make sure you’ve packed enough of your dog’s regular food for the entire stay, along with their food and water bowls. Keeping mealtimes familiar can help avoid upset tummies while away. Heading out for a long walk around the lakes or up into the Lincolnshire Wolds? A collapsible travel bowl and a bottle of water will keep your pup hydrated on the go.

3. A Blanket & Towels

After a splash in the lake or a muddy woodland walk, you’ll definitely want a towel on hand to clean paws and fur. A blanket that smells like home is also a great addition for keeping your dog cosy in the lodge or car. We also recommend bringing an extra towel just for those inevitable muddy moments!

4. Toys & Chews

A few of their favourite toys will help keep your dog entertained during your stay, especially during quiet evenings or rainy days. A ball is perfect for a game of fetch around the park, while chew toys and puzzles can keep them busy in your lodge. Pack their top picks to help them settle in and feel right at home.

5. Treats & Rewards

Don’t forget the snacks!

Treats are perfect for training, rewarding good behaviour, or just reminding your dog that it’s their holiday too. You can even treat them to something new. Local farm shops nearby often stock homemade or gourmet dog treats.

6. Raincoat or Jumper

While the Lincolnshire weather can be glorious, it’s always smart to be prepared for a sudden downpour or cooler breeze. A lightweight waterproof jacket or warm jumper is ideal, especially for short-haired dogs or those who don’t love getting wet!

7. Poo Bags

A non-negotiable, of course. Bring plenty of poo bags with you, and keep a few stashed in your coat pocket, car, and bag. Wold View has dedicated dog waste bins throughout the park to help you keep things clean and tidy during your walks.

8. Any Medication or First Aid Essentials

If your dog needs regular medication, don’t forget to pack it. It’s also wise to have a mini pet first aid kit with basics like tick tweezers, antiseptic wipes, and bandages—just in case your pup gets into any scrapes while exploring the countryside.
