Traveling with dogs on vacation in the past was much more difficult because most hotels did not admit them; but now that has changed a lot, and there are more and more tourist establishments that admit them. But, one of the things to know is the most convenient tourist destinations and / or cities to travel with dogs and where you can do activities in the company of these faithful friends that in many cases are one of the family. Here it is a list of the most convenient cities for traveling with dogs:
Amsterdam: This beautiful city is a true canine paradise and in it you will find fabulous parks where you can take your dogs, as well as public transport that admits them. One of the most recommended parks in this city is Vondelpark, in addition to Flevopark pool, both with access allowed for pets.
Copenhagen: This is one of the greenest cities in Scandinavia and a tourist destination suitable for traveling with dogs. Two of the most beautiful places where you can take them are Sondermarken Park and Tivoli Gardens.
Malaga: It is one of the tourist destinations in Europe where you can enjoy fabulous beaches where pets are allowed; that is why we highly recommend this city in Spain. There is also public transport where they are admitted.
Reykjavik: Although dogs were banned in the capital of Iceland between 1924 and 1984, it is currently an ideal tourist destination for traveling with dogs and hiking, touring the Ellidaárdalur Valley or Mount Esja, with those faithful and loving living beings that brighten our lives.
Saint David’s: This is a small Welsh city which is considered the best tourist destination in Britain to travel with dogs and enjoy an excellent holiday. There are some beautiful beaches where pets are allowed, and you will surely enjoy fully with them.
Obviously there are many other tourist destinations that admit dogs, either in transport, hotels, beaches and tourist facilities; the best thing would be to investigate this online.
When choosing hotels that allow dogs, you should check with the hotel staff before making the reservation and even check with some people on the internet web sites, so as not to have surprises at the time of arrival. In addition, you should preferably choose hotels that are close to beaches where they are admitted or that are located in the mountains where they can move more freely.
A question and a concern of many people who have not travelled with their dogs is how to do it once they enter the plane, so you should consider the following aspects:
First, before buying tickets, you must ensure that the airline allows pets since some allow them in the cabin and others in the cellar. Then you should be careful to have the documentation of the pet in order, both the passport and veterinary permits, which in the case of Europe, certificates from the veterinarian and the Ministry of Agriculture are required.
On the other hand, you must be sure that your dog is comfortable inside the carrier and that it complies with the measures established by the airline; also remember that to pass with the pet you must take it out of the carrier and carry it with the leash.
By meeting these requirements, you can travel with dogs quietly, but it does not harm that you buy travel insurance, especially when you arrive in your destination country. Remember that traveling with dogs is a responsibility like the one you have with the rest of your family members.
Now, if you will travel with dogs on a train, you should know that it is much easier, since there are generally simple rules, such as those we will explain below:
-As a general rule on a long-distance train journey, a dog pays 25% of a normal ticket, but it must go in a closed carrier of maximum measures of 60 x 35 x 35 cm and its weight cannot exceed 10 kilos.
Finally, we recommend that when you travel with dogs, take them with diapers (if possible) to avoid normal disaster when they urinate and expel their feces. Some people choose to give them some medicine to relax them, since some are very nervous, especially when they are isolated in spaces where their masters are not.
Surely, all this series of measures and precautions will be worth it, and you will enjoy a holiday with your family and your dog as a fundamental part of your loved ones.
