Dog-Friendly Breaks

and guesthouses where dogs are welcome. Whether you are planning a holiday, a dog-friendly break for a few days or looking for inspiration for a longer trip.

Wellness break with your dog

Relaxing in a sauna or hot tub and taking your dog for an evening walk can go hand in hand. A wellness break with your dog is a popular choice, especially for couples who want to unwind without leaving their dog at home. Dogs are generally not allowed in the wellness area, so make sure in advance that your dog can stay alone in the room for a while, and arrange the details with the hotel if necessary. A wellness weekend with your dog is relaxing for both you and your four-legged friend.

Weekend break for two with your dog

Even a short escape from everyday life can be wonderfully refreshing. You do not have to wait for your holiday. Weekend breaks with your dog are ideal for a long weekend. Just pack a bag, bowl and lead. A break for two with your dog offers peace and quiet, walks in nature and time just for you. Many hotels are close to forests and hiking trails, where your dog will enjoy the outings too.

To the mountains or a spa town

A mountain break with your dog is a great choice for active dogs that love long hikes. If you prefer a slower pace, choose a spa break with your dog. Spa towns offer parks and promenades for walks, while you can treat yourself to treatments and relaxation.

Dog-friendly breaks for the holidays

You do not have to spend the holidays at home with your dog. Christmas breaks with your dog offer a peaceful atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A New Year’s break with your dog in a more secluded location will be especially appreciated by owners of dogs that are frightened of fireworks. An Easter break with your dog is also a lovely start to springtime adventures.

What to consider before a break with your dog

Before booking, check a few things for your chosen break:

• Dog fee: sometimes it is included in the price, elsewhere it is paid per night on arrival.
• Size and number of dogs: some accommodation only accepts smaller breeds or one dog.
• Where your dog is allowed: in the room, restaurant, on the terrace and so on.
• Documents: bring your vaccination certificate or pet passport.
• What to bring: a dog bed or blanket, bowls, favourite food and a toy to help your dog feel at home.
• A dog-friendly break as a gift

Do you know a dog owner you would like to make happy? A dog-friendly break is an original birthday gift, anniversary present or Christmas gift. You are giving an experience the recipient can enjoy with the one they love most – including their dog.
