Would you take your dog(s) into campsite toilets? (1 Viewer)

[Twogirls]

We wouldn't, but it's surprising how many people have had to be politely asked NOT to take their dog into the toilet/shower block with them. I've only ever seen women doing this, and they are most upset when asked not to.

Surely the reasons not to do this are too obvious to need stating....so, would you or wouldn't you???

Why would anyone need to,,,,some crazy people about,,,,BUSBY,,,

 

[Theonlysue]

I have a small chihuahua and if i need the loo but cant make it back to the van in time, i will take her in with me, depending on campsite. If quiet, i will tie her outside.
And the reasons are?? Cant be any worse than folk walking in with their muddy hiking boots lol

Got to be honest I have carried our little yorkie in if I need to go to the toilet whilst I'm out with him. Only rarely but have carried him in and held him the whole time

 

[Twogirls]

I'm sure some folk smuggle small dogs in and aren't spotted, but I'm talking about large/medium size dogs as well

It saves taking a poo bag with you.......

I'm sure your dog is cleaner than some folk, but not everyone likes dogs, some are scared of dogs, and what if there's more than one and they start fighting? Just saying...

 

[TheBig1]

assistance dogs?

 

[Theonlysue]

I'm sure you're worrying for nothing.
I've yet to meet another dog in the loos.
And for the short time I'm in there
Also some dogs very nickable these days.

Dogs rarely fight. Occasionally they have noisy disagreements that sound to non-dog owners like fighting. If you ever see dogs actually fighting it isn't something you'd ever forget..

 

[Vanderek]

But has anyone trained their dog to put the seat down ?

 

[Twogirls]

assistance dogs?

If your holding the dog all th time,how do you wash your hands?

 

[The Wino]

I would never consider dogging in the campsite loos (or anywhere else!)

What you have to remember is that everyones dog is clean,,none are nasty and when they fart it smells of roses,,,not a good subject to ever criticise on here,,BUSBY

I wouldn't take me in a site loo prefer my own facilities but if the dog needs to go why not.

[bobandjanie]

Yes I would. No hesitation. I would not tie her up outside. Her feet are no more dirty than any footwear any human is wearing. She will not steal the loo roll. Will not squirt soap everywhere. Or block the drains with loo roll and run the tap. Nor are either of us likely to decide to s#!t in the shower. Plus some sites charge for dogs.....what facilities DOES that gain them access to I wonder? Janie

Er No, perhaps you could enlighten us?

How funny, we thought it was a really weird thing to do, but clearly we're in the minority!!!! We have a dog and like dogs but it wouldn't even occur to me to do it!! There,are lots of people, believe it or not, who don't like dogs and even if they do would object to finding someone else's in the facilities intended for humans

 

[Twogirls]

Oops trigger happy finger
Anyway, I still think its,weird but each to their own

 

[treetops1]

We like to give our two dogs a shower now and again when away,subject to the showers being clean enough ,the transformation after a bit of head and shoulders is remarkable lol.

Do any campsites in UK have dog showers? We saw some on Spanish and Portuguese sites, seems a good idea.

 

[Podney]

Well I would if it was a Schitzu

 

[Twogirls]

Well I would if it was a Schitzu

Or a Poomeranian

Not taken the dog myself, but seem to remember other half taking the dog with her one night.

Was late and dark where we were. Good choice to take the dog
(I was asleep)

Just get the dog to lick them clean

Just wondering how you know many people have had to asked not to take their dogs inside and were upset at being asked not to. Was it you who asked them.
