It’s all in the Planning
Pets can become distressed when being on the move, so ensure a smooth ride by providing your pet with enough water and monitoring the temperature. Follow these helpful tips about travelling with pets:
- Ask your vet for advice before you travel.
- Exercise your pets about 20 minutes before the trip.
- Restrain your pets in a carrier or harness in the car.
- Never leave your pets unattended in your vehicle.
- Take regular bathroom breaks on your journey.
It’s worth noting that no domestic pets – other than trained assistance animals like guide dogs – are allowed in national parks, State conservation areas, reserves, historic sites or Aboriginal cultural heritage areas.
Run, walk or play with your dog on the golden sand at Arrawarra Beach in the north, Sawtell Beach (North) a little further south, Korora Beach and Sapphire Beach in the centre, and many others in between. Be sure to check the Coffs Harbour City Council website for detailed maps of dog-friendly areas.
For ideas on where you can take your dog while you are dining out or exploring the Coffs Coast, you can find some suggestions in our directories, Pet-Friendly Activities and Pet-Friendly Cafes.
