Anyone snuck three dogs into center parcs

[FlipFlopZebra]

Has anyone snuck an extra dog into center parcs? Really want to book one lodge for myself, husband, daughter and parents but we have three dogs between us.

Two of the dogs are same breed so could pass as one, but I’m working out how to you get past the entrance? Do they record number of dogs in each car?

I would hide the smallest one but she’s noisy 😆 so it would be our largest one who would need hiding as she’d keep quiet.

It’s two labradors and Jack Russell. Just seems expensive to pay for a whole extra lodge just to accommodate a dog!

Oh did not know there was delivery to lodges that changes things 😋 thank you

Is this Dear Beagle ?

I love the cunning behind this. It’s like that puzzle where you have to get all the foxes across the river in a raft or something.

I do know someone who got an extra person into centre parcs doing something similar. I’m vague on the details. But they went out to Sherwood pines for a bike ride and came back in dribs and drabs with an extra person. Not sure if this is still correct but they don’t or didn’t seem to check cyclists entering the establishment, and mean maybe you had to say a lodge number and party name but they weren’t keeping a running head count.

I don't think a dog friendly lodge is usually an entire lodge for each dog. 🤣

We went last year, took two dogs. Booked online and paid for two dogs. Nobody checked, we could have easily smuggled in a third.

It’s ok my pet insurance covers counselling!

Decent rescues do indeed ask for your plans when going on holiday when they do a home check. And “I’m planning on not paying, because I’m a selfish tightarse” (ops own words) would indeed exclude her from adopting a rescue dog.
And you bloody take a cold shower. It’s people like me who go out to collect these dogs , in our own time and with our own money, when the shit hits the fan. Rescues are overflowing and dogs die everyday, because of selfish, stupid “owners”. Don’t be so bloody ignorant.

Another fucking entitled dog owner

😁

I own 19 dogs. 17 of them are on sertraline because I couldn't take them to Butlins last year.

If between you you’re ok with someone either being in the lodge with the dogs or pottering about with the dogs on a lead then it’s ok. But you’d have to do swimming and any activities in relays I guess.

I wouldn’t be enough of a rule breaker to leave dogs unattended in the lodge just in case they started barking, etc.

Dont know about dogs but I’ve been to three hen parties at center parcs and never been caught.

Can I take this opportunity to put my hand up and confess that ten years ago I stayed one night in a motel in France and only paid the supplement for one dog even though I knew full well I had two dogs in the back of the car.

I feel dirty just thinking about it. 😫

In my defence they were the laziest dogs ever and I don't think moved off their beds the entire night so I doubt there was any evidence we even had one dog in there (though it was a dog-friendly room before MNers start punching "dander" into their keyboards).

Thank god for that!

This is why people think all dog owners are dickheads

Behave. I’ve never heard anyone say that all dog owners are dickheads. Just like I’ve never heard people say all parents are dickheads, or all men are dickheads. Some people are dickheads just because they’re dickheads. Just like I think people who come out with such a stupid statements are…..dickheads.

And the other two were taken? Why? Shane on you!

🤣 calm down….

This is shocking! Relinquish any dogs you still own and never consider having another pet!

How do you feel that dog feels being denied existence?

We’d never leave them alone, normally when we go away we spend a lot of time in accommodation winding down anyway and pop out to the facilities in pairs while someone else has the dogs. Works well for us so maybe center parcs would work.

Tape the dogs together and pretend it's that three headed dog from Greek mythology.

I must’ve not rescued ours from a decent rescue oh no

Oh if we’re doing confessions my pup cocked his leg and pissed up a bed in a Travelodge. He was booked in though so that was fine. 🤣. I have disinfectant spray with me and scrubbed it inc the urine deodoriser stuff. I suspect a different dog had previously done the same and it hadn’t been cleaned hence why my pup did it.

the travelodge reception guy said he had spent the weekend catching people trying to sneak dogs in without paying! Or trying to get too many dogs in….not sure what their limit is.

Well, I don’t have a dog in this fight (though we did once take a kitten on holiday to Cornwall), but Center Parcs doesn’t sound desperately dog friendly to me anyway.

Oh maybe then we can get away with paying for just the one dog then 😆

I think you’d be fine then. If you don’t mind on lead walks it would be a nice holiday. Do it.
