Planning a holiday is always exciting—but let’s be real, the packing part? Not so much. There’s always that last-minute scramble to find the sunscreen, chargers, and swimmers you swore you wouldn’t forget. And if your four-legged friend is joining the adventure? That packing list just got a whole lot longer.

At Tiona Holiday Park, we love seeing your furry family members tagging along for the fun. To help you avoid any packing panic, we’ve created a handy checklist designed especially for dogs (though if you’re bringing a cat or another pet, you may need to tweak it a little!).

Whether you’re camping lakeside or checking into one of our dog-friendly cabins, this list will help make sure your pup feels right at home in paradise.

🐾 ID tag with your current phone number

🐾 Recent photo of your pet (printed + digital) in case they go missing

🐾 Any medications they’re on

🐾 Parasite prevention (fleas, ticks, etc.)

🐾 Contact details for your home vet + a local vet near Tiona

🐾 Travel crate or container with a waterproof mat and drinking cup

🐾 Seat belt harness or car safety attachment

🐾 Seat covers for the car

🐾 Lead and collar

🐾 Their usual bed and blankets – the scent of home = instant calm

🐾 One of your worn t-shirts or jumpers – especially helpful if they’re sleeping away from you

🐾 Favourite toys and comfort items

🐾 A warm coat if you’re travelling in cooler weather

🐾 Their regular brand of food (sudden changes = upset tummies)

🐾 Portable food bowl and water bowl

🐾 Plenty of extra water for the trip

🐾 Waste bags – lots of them!

🐾 Pet shampoo + grooming tools

🐾 Litter tray (if required)

🐾 Updated vaccination certificate

🐾 Their I.D tag and collar

Ready to roll?

Once you’re packed, it’s time to hit the road and enjoy everything Tiona has to offer. From pet-friendly cabins and unspoiled beaches to bush trails and lakeside chill spots—your fur-baby will love it as much as you do.

We can’t wait to welcome you (and your pup!) to our slice of paradise. 🐕☀️🌊
