There are plenty more advantages of pet-friendly log cabin holidays too. If you plan to go shopping or visit a theme park for the day, your pet will be cool, comfortable and secure in your lodge. That’s a big advantage over tents and caravans, which become far too hot to leave your dog behind safely.
