Many people don't want to be without their beloved dog on vacation. You take your four-legged friend into account when choosing your travel destination.
Tour operators, hotels and holiday home and apartment rental companies have recognized this trend. Find out how dog-friendly the hotel really is with a quick call. If it's best for your dog to stay in the room and not have any business in the complex, that doesn't contribute much to the holiday feeling you want. Traveling abroad with a dog is no longer uncommon. To ensure that your vacation brings the desired relaxation for people and animals, there are a few useful tips to consider.
If your vacation is not a trip to the Baltic Sea (e.g. to Lübeck) or to the mountains to hike with your dog, but rather the trip is abroad, you should first find out about the respective entry regulations for the dog. Don't take too much time, some countries not only require a valid rabies vaccination, but also, for example, an examination of the current rabies titer. Such laboratory tests can take several weeks. The safest source for entry requirements with a dog is the consulate of the respective country. Don't be afraid to call there. The employees are usually happy to provide information and you will be informed of the latest changes. Otherwise, the consulate websites can help you, or you can get advice from your veterinarian straight away. The veterinarian can also give you information about any vaccinations or antiparasitic medications that may be necessary.
The EU pet passport for your dog is just as important as our passport or identity card. This includes his identification number. The dog's microchip number is common. Ear numbers, i.e. tattoos, are also possible. Visit your veterinarian well before the start of your vacation so that he can check whether the ID card is up to date and has been filled out correctly. This way you can avoid unnecessary difficulties during a check. Because who doesn't know this: a vaccination appointment at the vet and you forget your passport. We'll add that later! - That's what it says. Usually when the next vaccination is due. Worm treatments should be included in the vaccination certificate; treatment against tapeworms before entry is mandatory in some countries.
Traveling to a vacation destination is stressful for everyone, especially your dog. Long car journeys, stressful hours on a plane or a train journey with multiple changes. No matter how you plan your trip, there will be occasions when the worst possible event can happen: the dog is gone! If you are a few kilometers away from home (or abroad), the fear of not getting the runaway back is high. Registering your dog with TASSO significantly increases the chance of a happy ending! If someone finds your dog and takes it to an animal shelter, a veterinarian, the police or another authority, the first thing they will check is whether the dog is chipped or tattooed. The number will be compared at TASSO!
TASSO is a non-profit organization that has specialized in the registration and rehoming of lost animals for over 30 years. TASSO helps across Europe! And success proves you right, a missing animal is returned via TASSO approximately every 10 minutes. Registration is free. Many veterinarians offer this service, or you can register your pet online. Either way, you decide which data is passed on to TASSO or how finders can get in touch. Either the finder receives your contact details from TASSO and can contact you directly, or TASSO contacts you and establishes the connection. Please remember to keep your details (address, telephone number) up to date with TASSO. (e.g. simple web form)
Other countries – other diseases. Once you have chosen your destination, talk to your veterinarian about any possible illness risks for the dog. In southern countries, the so-called Mediterranean diseases play a major role. Leishmaniasis, Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis are dangerous diseases and are transmitted through a seemingly harmless mosquito bite or tick bite. Prophylactic protection helps reduce the risk of infection. Ask your veterinarian to find out which preparations are useful when on holiday with your dog and how to use them. Is your dog a water lover? Then an anti-parasitic collar can be more effective than a spot-on preparation. Heartworms are common in southern countries. A heartworm infestation is often only noticed when serious damage has occurred. There are prophylactic medications against heartworm. They should be administered for up to 3 months after the vacation to rule out infection.
If you are more inclined towards Eastern Europe, make sure you have a reliable vaccination against distemper. The disease, which is sometimes fatal, is considered to have been eradicated in our country and is widespread in foxes, martens and raccoon dogs in Eastern Europe. Many strays can also transmit this infection.
Remember to take a small first aid kit with you on vacation for your dog. In addition to the parasite prevention products recommended by the vet, these things are useful:
1 set of bandages (think scissors)
Cool/heat compresses
Wound spray or wound ointment
Skin disinfection for wounds
Tweezers
Diarrheal preparation, anti-motion sickness medication (please get both from the vet)
Tick lasso (e.g. from SILVA e.K.)
Many dogs have problems with changing their food. So that the first few days of vacation are not disturbed by diarrhea and vomiting, take your usual food with you. Then slowly change the food at your holiday destination.
Like us, dogs have a favorite pillow/blanket. It gives your dog security and a good feeling if you can take his sleeping place with you. This will make getting used to the hotel, for example, quicker.
Familiar toys create a homely atmosphere.
It is best to find out about the regional regulations on this topic in advance. Where can I go for a walk? Are there special dog parks or beaches? Can I let my dog off the leash? Other countries other manners. A violation of local regulations is often punished with a hefty fine.
Last but not least, enjoy your vacation with your dog! If you have planned everything carefully, nothing can go wrong. As long as you give a relaxed impression, your dog will take everything much more calmly. Stick to the small rituals of everyday life (e.g. a certain game or treat). This gives the dog security and creates stability when everything around him is new.
