Is there anything more glorious than closing your front door and setting off on holiday, ready for days splashing in the pool and lashings of rosé?

Yes, there is - doing it with your dog.
Just ask , who's been seen in Barbados with his yorkshire terriers.
Or chef Gino D'Acampo, who flew his dachshund Snoop to Sardinia in April. Cats are jetting off, too: has shared photos of her and first aid certification her moggie Clive on a private jet.
Data suggests that over 3.2 million people in the UK have become pet owners since the start of the pandemic, first aid certification bringing the total number to 34 million. So is it any wonder we're factoring them into our summer breaks?

(And in style!)
Enter dog-a-porter.com, 'the ultimate dog chauffeur' and brainchild of siblings Camilla Brillembourg and Hugo Mabbott. They've escorted dogs all over Europe since 2017 and are now expanding to the US.
Dogs - who must have a vet-issued Animal Health Certificate (see opposite) or an EU pet passport to travel abroad - are driven by either Mercedes SUV or Land Rover modified for comfort.
It's safe (Hugo is certified in dog first aid certification aid), cosy and the trip is bespoke to your pooch's needs - there's no car sharing with someone else's pet. They'll stop at dog-friendly hotels along the way - France is full of them - and if your canine likes to sleep on the bed, no problem.

Clients include celebrities and royals.
