Ochr y Foel Holiday Cottage

· S/he is up to date with worming and flea treatment. This is vital as sheep ticks are present on the land - as in ALL country areas - and your dog needs to be protected against them and I need to protect my dogs, cottage and future human and doggie guests against worms, fleas and disease.

· S/he is over 6 months old and fully house trained and that she is not ‘in season’.

· S/he is not allowed on the furniture unless covered with ample washed, clean, throws blankets and covers which you should bring with you .

· S/he is not allowed to scratch doors or furniture, nor left alone in the cottage (s/he is welcome to come and stay next door for the day if you go out!) or can use a crate.

· You wipe / towel your dog down each time before entering the cottage, just as you would wipe your own feet! Please bring adequate doggie towels for this.

· You do not close any doors on your dog as this had lead to scratch marks on the front door, internal door frames, window sills and doors in the past.

Please also note that contrary to many other cottage lets, I do NOT CHARGE any extra for pets, nor do I ask for a security deposit, however, in return for this I respectfully ask and expect that :

· You thoroughly vacuum and clean the cottage before your departure to remove all traces of pet evidence.

I hope you find these conditions not overbearing as they are simply designed so that you have an enjoyable holiday with your dear companion friend and standards of hygiene and cleanliness are kept high for both pet and non pet visitors alike.

I respectfully remind you that I do not charge any extra at all for pets.

Thank you so very much for being understanding . :-)
