What to Pack for a Dogs Holiday this Summer

Whether you are going on an escape to the rolling fields of the countryside or having a staycation on the beautiful coastal lines of the UK - your furry friend will be sure to have a fantastic time with all their Barbour essentials. From leads to coats to dog-friendly toiletries and fashionable accessories, there is something for every pup.

So, take a read and explore what you should be packing for your holiday this summer with your best companion...

When it comes to packing for a summer holiday in the UK, for your furry companion a dog coat is always a good idea, even in the summer there may always be a day of drizzle in the UK, especially when you are out on walks in the fields.

We have a range of dog coats, so whether your dog is in the mood for a classic wax coat to match your very own Barbour wax jacket, or something a little more fun like our tartan dog coats, we have all they could need. Our packable showerproof tartan dog coat is a perfect choice to add easily into your essential dog wax pouch, along with treats and poo bags, which you can pack it all away neatly.

You can’t go on a holiday and not pack some dog toys. Just like you need games and cards to entertain your drizzly days inside after a day of exploring, your furry friend needs some entertainment. Keep your pup occupied while you are cooking up your BBQs on those warm summer nights with our Barbour Dog toys!

Just like you will pack your toiletries to pamper yourself after a day on the beach, or to freshen up before dinner, your loyal doggy pal will need their Barbour shampoo and conditioner all packed up.

Our fresh coconut dog shampoo and conditioner is a lovely treat to accompany a pampering bath for your canine companion, after having a fun filled day in the crashing waves and sandy shorelines of your seaside trip away, or after muddy walks in the fields. 

Once your doggy is all pampered, why not add a fashionable bandana, bow tie or our playful cascade cap to escalate their freshly smelling and good-looking appearance. These smart accessories come in our classic Barbour tartan and will be a great extra touch for your trips to the sunny beer gardens or local pubs. The navy cascade cap is also a great accessory for your companion on sunny days on the beach to keep their head cool.  

Lastly, the top three and key essentials needed to pack for your doggy holiday this summer are a Barbour collar, lead and bed. There are a range of beds to pick from, we provide 24 – 35-inch beds in a variety of tartans, to suit your pup when napping after an adventure filled day or when having a lazy lie in.

Finally, whether you are going on long hearty walks through the wilderness, a stroll along beautiful beaches, or even a wander through quaint little English villages, a Barbour lead and matching collar is essential. We also have comfortable harnesses, if that is what your pup likes best!

So, whether you are going on an adventure filled countryside escape or relaxing coastal staycation with your companion, be sure to pack these Barbour essentials to ensure your furry friend has the best time and of course tag us, in your pictures, using #BarbourDogs.
