Holidawgs Pet-Safe (TM) Getaways across South Africa
Holidawgs Pet-Safe(TM) Getaways are for those that want to take their pets along on weekend breaks, holidays or general outings, and know what to expect. Pet-safe means enclosed and secure pet-friendly getaways for your peace of mind.
Have you ever booked a pet-friendly accommodation only to arrive and see a huge gaping hole in the fence, not fully-enclosed garden, or a wall so tiny your Doberman Pincher could ace it? Us too. So we created Holidawgs.com, crammed full of pet-safe (TM) getaways instead.
Our Holidawgs getaway options are hand-picked, tried and tested, reviewed and rated against our pet-safe ™ standards so you always know what to expect in advance.
Search our pet-safe accommodation and book your next getaway, nominate a getaway you think should be listed here, or checkout our latest articles on our blog. Be sure to sign-up for our newsletter where we’ll send you the latest reviewed listings, discounts and other interesting ideas, locations or special offers.
