Pet Gate

Good pet gates for wide openings?

I'm looking for a sturdy, high quality (e.g., not wobbly and preferably metal rather than wood, as I don't want it to be chewed on) pet gate to separate my kitchen from my living room. My difficulty is that the opening for that space is about 70". I also need a gate that either has a latched door or that easily swings out of the way when not in use. Any recommendations? Thanks!

extension gates. They can be found in the childrens sections at stores like walmart or k mart. They are great. Also check places like second hand childrens stores. I know the chewing thing. My dog ate probably 4 wood ones before we found a good plastic ones. If you get a thick plastic one it might work. But yeah their are longer gates/fences out there. Check petsmart or other bigger pet stores like that. I know the one I had at one point extended to 92 inches and was 48 inches high but they get pricey with the size here's one on the cheaper side thats pretty good

If you are a dog owner, what do you do when it comes to taking a family holiday? Do you reward your dog for years of loyal service, keeping you company and guarding your home by leaving him or her at home or in kennels? Well you don't have to - if you take a holiday in a self-catering holiday cottage you can often take your 'best friend' with you. You won't have to worry about leaving him or her at home, you won't have to pay for kennel fees and you will have a much better holiday.

So where should you take your family and your four legged friend on holiday. The area of coastline where Dorset meets Devon, around Lyme Bay is an easily accessible part of England renowned for its fossil hunting, breathtaking natural beauty, sheltered harbours, sandy beaches, thatched cottages and pastoral landscape. With its heritage coastline, historic towns and hideaway villages in an area of stunning natural beauty there is so much to do for visitors of all ages on the Lyme Bay coast. There are few better places for getting out and about and exercising yourself and your dog.

If you are looking for dog friendly holiday accommodation, a self-catering holiday cottage is a great option. Many holiday cottage owners are happy to welcome considerate owners and their dogs so there is no need to leave your 'best friend' at home. If you are considering taking your dog during the summer you should bear in mind that there are access restrictions for dogs on many Dorset and Devon beaches. Listed below are details of access to some of the main beaches in the Lyme Bay area. Even if access to the beach is restricted during the summer there are still plenty of fantastic coastal and countryside walks that you can enjoy with your dog(s).

Here is a quick guide to beach access for dogs around Lyme Bay:

West Dorset beaches
Burton Bradstock beach - no dogs between 1st May and 30th September, except on East Beach.
West Bexington beach - dogs allowed in a restricted area.
Eype beach - dogs permitted.
West Bay - no dogs to the west of East Cliff
Lyme Regis - between 1st April and 31st October no dogs on Lyme Regis's front beach and on leads for rest of year. Dogs allowed on Monmouth Beach, Cobb Gate and East Beach.
Charmouth beach - no dogs from 1st May to 30th September.

East Devon beaches
Beer beach - dogs are not permitted on the western side of the beach from 1st May to 30th September.
Budleigh Salterton - dogs are not permitted on the main beach from 1st May to 30th September.
Seaton - dogs are not permitted on the main beach from 1st May to 30th September.
Sidmouth - dogs are not permitted on the main beach from 1st May to 30th September.

The beauty of the West Dorset and East Devon area is that even when there is restricted access to the beaches there are so many other wonderful places to walk with your dog. With public footpaths and bridleways criss-crossing the area you will be spoilt for choice. You can enjoy cliff top walks, hill walks, river walks and woodland walks – you and your dog will enjoy the wonderful new territory to explore.

The considerate dog owner will be happy to abide by some basic 'house rules' when visiting pet friendly cottages – they are pretty common sense rules. Holiday cottage owners generally ask that dogs are kept off the furniture and out of bedrooms. In the interests of the animal and the property it is never advisable to leave a dog alone in a strange place – as such a dog should not be left unattended in the holiday cottage during your stay. Naturally all faeces should be cleared up and suitably disposed of during your holiday. Some holiday cottages will accommodate one dog and others will accommodate two (or maybe three) – always check first with the owners.

Somewhere to stay
As outlined one most flexible and convenient ways to take a holiday in the Lyme Bay area for dog owners is to book a self-catering holiday cottage. Lyme Bay Cottages provide self-catering holiday accommodation all year round with - some in quiet country hideaways others in lively little coastal towns and villages. You can view details of dog friendly cottages and more information about the Lyme Bay area at LymeBayCottages.com
