As a couple who live on the road full time with our two rescue dogs we have put together some of our tips and experiences on a new post. 

We also reached out to other members of the vanlife community who are doing the same and included some of their feedback. 

We hope you find it helpful,

"I can hear our dog trainer saying how important it is to teach a dog to leave when told"

I can hear our vet saying some 5 years ago when we had a similar incident with out older dog that is still with us

"always put a muzzle on your dog whilst on the beach"

we have one that gives almost full jaw movement but stops them picking up nasties, I left it at home undecided

our old dog that is still with us, was lucky, hook was wrapped in half a mackrel and slid straight into his stomach, within 4 hours the vet had cut him open and fished it out, excuse the pun.

Bentley would lay down on one whistle and come on two, but i never saw him pick up and eat whatever was laying on the beach, tragic.

Yes indeed, and I still see him running along the beach when I am out walking, but time to move on and happy to report that Pet Plan paid in full with no quibble or fuss, so a big thank you to Alicanti Animal Hospital for providing comprehensive information as to what had taken place, including a death certificate, even if it was in Spanish.

Planning a trip to Spain this coming October and again next April so not looking for another dog as yet, although if you believe what is in the news, there are plenty about in the rescue homes.

 very sorry for your loss. Spanish fishermen are renowned for leaving rubbish on the beach, but this is no consolation to know. If you fail to get any satisfaction from Pet Plan then I suggest taking your problem to the personal finance section of either Saturdays Telegraph or Sundays Times. The publicity highlighting these obscure clauses in the policy will probably embarrass them into making a payment.
