Holiday with dog 🌲🌴
Or do you travel outside the peak season with your fur nose on holiday?
Here you can learn:
what you must pack on holiday with your dog and must not forget
what you have to consider when feeding on holiday, is a feed change necessary?
Organizational matters and questions you should ask yourself:
What should not be missing, whether you travel to the South or the North with your pet, is the pet passport. Important: take a look at the ID in good time. Find out in advance about the entry requirements for dogs in the country you want to go on holiday.
- Are the vaccinations still valid?
- Is the flea/tick protection still effective (beach holidays are nice, but sand fleas can also lurk here)?
- Do I need a certificate of rabies titer?
- Must a treatment of parasites be carried out before entry and be documented by the veterinarian?
- Does your dog have a microchip tag?
- Is there a general ban on entry for the breed of your dog?
- Do you have to cross the red zone at customs?
Take what?
- Pet ID, Tasso-stamp, dog-stamp
- experience and essential: the tow line
- Guide line
often there is a need for a line, so that your darling can still explore the world offers the tow line. This way you not only protect your dog from bad experiences, but also you from fines
Tip: can also be used as a clothesline out of need 😉
- Collar (better two)
- depending on the means of transport, safety for the car/ camper/ plane/ ferry: seat belt, dog cage, dog box
- Dog harness
- muzzle
it is better to have it with you (unexpectedly often comes: in some countries it is mandatory to muzzle regionally, but also in heavily frequented places or in public transport)
- Fecal bags
(Dog walking areas / beaches advertise with free litter bags, but do not always expect that these are always filled)
- Feeding bag
- Dog blanket / dog baskets, favorite cuddly animal🧸
- Feeding bowl, water bowl, preventive water canister (e.g. on holiday with the camper)
- always have with you: water bottle and travel tank for excursions
- Care and hygiene:
Claw scissors, toothbrush / dog toothpaste, ear cleaner, dog brush, dog shampoo (tip: your dog likes to roll in carrion? then tomato juice helps to neutralize odor)
- First aid:
gloves, tick tongs, first aid kit, sunscreen, paw protection (dog shoes, baby socks, paw balm)
- Medicinal products:
Medications your dog needs daily, remedies for diarrhea
- Feed:
better too much than too little (your pet will make many trips, sweat, freeze, swim, walk - all this consumes a lot of energy, the more food the dog needs)
depending on the country of holiday:
Dog towel, bathrobe 🌴❄️
Life jacket 🌴❄️
Cooling mat 🌴
Shade dispenser (umbrella, beach tent, sun sail) 🌴
Toys: ball, dew, frisbee, feed dummy, water toys 🌴❄️
Dog sweater, raincoat 🌴❄️
Do I have to change the type of food?
Barbing on holiday can be complicated, but it doesn't have to be!
