Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

With dog-friendly travel guides, pet concierge services, five-star doggy hotels, dedicated style blogs and even their own festival, life has never been sweeter for a modern dog.

From wellbeing buys such as protective sun wipes, to gourmet iced treats and travel must-haves including a stylish canine carryall and a guide to holidaying with your dog, Alex Frith of modern dog lifestyle blog Barkarama rounds up twelve summer items for your dog at home and away.

Verdict

When it comes to planning your next canine adventure, Phileas Dogg’s Guide to Dog Friendly Holidays in Britain is an endless source of inspiration for days out and mini-breaks with your mutt. For streamline packing and minimal stress, we’d go for Poppy & Rufus’ Maxi Dog Travel Bag every time. Plus once unpacked it folds away neatly should you and your canine companion find yourself in close quarters. But if you’re an owner who likes a deal, then for two products in one for less than £20, the ThrowBall Frisbee Water Bowl gets our paws up.
