Travel with dog or not?

Firstly, my apology for using English. I just relocated to Germany for a month, still catching up my German. Tut mir leid. I have a vacation planned in 2 weeks, I am wondering do you usually travel with your dog during vacations or leave them to the boarding school or friends? I came from US, there traveling with dog is not as convenient as here, so mostly we send our dog to the boarding school. Of cause she didn’t like it much. I would like to know how is the situation here? I live in Düsseldorf, if you use boarding school for your dog, any recommendations? Big THANK YOU!

Most time we take our dog with us by car and train. He‘s small so he can fit anywhere. Even planes but I dont want to take him there. Imagine the stress at the airport and onboard 🥲 When we travel longhaul I take Jack to my family. They have a garden and a dog so I know he‘s happy there. However they are 2 hours per way away, I would reconsider friends or a dogsitter when its urgent. We haven’t tried a doghotel yet but in case we need one its good to try first;)

Your dog will need an EU passport or be cleared for travel. With a microchip and a passport, your documentation will be sufficient. For dogs under 8kg, they can travel with you in the airplane cabin which is fine. Take a more expensive airline (Ryanair and EasyJet do not take animals). Otherwise, I would recommend train and car. A lot of hotels are dog-friendly but might charge a little fee. We really enjoyed Greece. However, visit a vet a few months before each trip to ensure you have all necessary vaccinations and medications. Leishmaniose and Babesiose are quite common south of Austria and quite dangerous for your beloved furry one. A rabies vaccination is always required for border crossings (often <12M old).

That’s really insightful, will keep them in mind. Thank you so much.

Hey there, I travel with my dog…always and always by car. It is not that we do not have great daycare or dog hotels 🏨…it is just that I don‘t trust anyone else with my dog than me. Some might find that a bit obsessive…but that is just me 😊

I can fully understand that. Whenever I was on a vacation and send my dog to friend’s home, I always feel something is missing…
