Which accommodation is the right one for your vacation with your dog??

On the other hand, if you prefer to go to the hotel with your dog, you will probably have to search a long time to find a suitable hotel. But whoever searches, finds.

Most pet owners prefer a vacation in a pet-friendly holiday apartment with a dog or prefer a holiday home for a holiday with a pet. Animals usually feel more comfortable here, have significantly more space and are not unsettled by the presence of other animals, and the pet owners do not become the same either evil looked at when the dog barks.

Especially if you are planning a sporty and nature-loving vacation, you should take your pet with you on the trip. With a loyal, four-legged companion, an extensive hike through the woods, on the beach or in the mountains is once again so much fun and your pet will thank you if you don’t leave it with strangers, possibly in a kennel pension.

However, you shouldn’t stick to the idea of taking your pet on vacation at all costs. If you are planning a flight, possibly to a non-European country, you should carefully consider whether it really makes sense to put the pet through the stress of a long flight.

So it is best to choose a destination that you can easily reach by car in order to make the holiday with pets as pleasant as possible for yourself and your four-legged friend. Holiday homes with dogs can be visited in almost any country and region.
