The scent of distant lands is once again luring owners and their furry friends to new places. Are your paws itchy too? We bring you tips on what to think about before you set off or how to make traveling more enjoyable.
Hotel vacation (dog)
To take him or not to take him with you? That is the basic question of all owners. If it is even slightly possible, take your partner on the trip with you. You will experience the experiences that are needed together! However, if you want to fly by plane, enjoy a vacation in a place where dogs are not welcome, or you do not want to exhaust a sick or senior dog on the way, you would rather stay in a dog hotel.
Today, we are developing a range of truly superior services for all psychological types. You can often pay extra for training, wellness treatments or a special regime for your pet. Or a holiday for him while you go on holiday elsewhere.

Up in the car
If together, then best by car . Some furry friends have a problem with traveling by car and vomit, but even for that there are natural products and tricks today that will help calm his upset stomach and nerves. It helps, for example, to cover the crate with a blanket so that he cannot see the flickering landscape. There are also soothing scents or car music specifically for dogs.
- If you are scared and don't know what to do in the car with your partner, don't be afraid to contact an expert who will help you.
- Travel safely! A convenient novelty for longer journeys is a car seat for dogs. Strapped in and like in a blanket. Snout can do it.
Car seat and passport
Think about safety first! Your dog must always be strapped in the car or in a separate compartment in the trunk so that it does not run away in the event of an accident. Whether you travel in a car seat or a kennel. Always choose a harness for your car that will not cause as serious injuries as a collar if the seat belt is pulled.
What to take with you into the world?
It's worth writing a list so you don't forget anything.
- Valid vaccination certificate, pet passport if abroad.
- Check for valid deworming and flea treatment, in the case of southern countries consult a veterinarian for heartworm treatment
- Disinfection, healing ointment, charcoal or other effective means to calm digestion
- Travel water bottle
- Tick ββtweezers (the shorter the time it is attached, the lower the risk of infection with, for example, babesiosis )
- A travel bowl might also come in handy.
- Treat, food
What to train before vacation
Keep in mind in advance that your dog should be able to be alone in the accommodation room . You can make it easier for him with a licking pad , a puzzle , a blanket with the scent of his beloved owner, or by setting up a cage in which he will feel like he is in a room and safe (and there is no risk that the hotel will chew something).
You can practice "alone time" with friends and acquaintances before your vacation. If you know this could be a problem, prepare in advance who will always be able to stay with your dog when you go somewhere dogs are not allowed.
At home by the sea
We think every dog ββshould see the sea at least once in their life! The fresh air and the crashing waves... Dogs usually love it if you find a dog-friendly beach and you're not immediately kicked out. Just be careful not to drink too much salt water (diarrhea) and always shower with fresh water after a long swim in the sea so your little one doesn't suffer from salt.
Then all that's left to do is enjoy the moments together and unforgettable experiences faithfully side by side!
