Finding A Pet Friendly Vacation Home
These days, it’s surprisingly easy to find vacation homes that allow pets. A quick Internet search brings up several vacation rental sites with separate pet-friendly categories. Most assume you are bringing your dog, so if your travel companion is a cat or a ferret, you might want to double check with the owner to make sure it’s ok.
Where To Go?
There are many pet-friendly vacation homes all over the world, so it’s mostly a matter of where you want to travel. It is always easier to travel in your own country of course: there are no quarantine requirements, you know exactly what you need to bring without doing research, and you both speak the local language. 
US Cities To Visit With Dogs
When trying to decide on a place to vacation with your dog, it’s a good idea to do a little bit of research on how dog-friendly the area is. Can you bring your dog to the beach? Restaurants? One great choice in the US is San Diego. Not only is it a gorgeous destination with beautiful weather year round, dogs are allowed on many beaches even during the summer months, and the city boasts over 60 hotels that allow dogs and more than 50 dog-friendly restaurants.
Traveling To Europe
If you’re planning to bring your pet to Europe, make sure you check well ahead of your trip what the requirements are to bring animals into the countries you plan to visit as some procedures can take quite a bit of time. As an example, if you’re going to the UK, your pet needs to have a blood titer rabies test done. After a satisfactory result of the blood test, there is a mandatory waiting period of 6 months before your pet is allowed to enter the UK. And that’s just one of their requirements.
Houseboat Vacations With Your Dog
Is your dog comfortable on the water? Or maybe he’s one of those dogs who just can’t get enough of swimming and splashing about. A houseboat vacation could be the perfect choice for both of you! You relax can in luxury on a calm lake with stunning scenery while you’re furry best friend can swim to his heart’s content. Many rental houseboats are dog-friendly, even the very posh ones. Check out the boats available on the incredibly scenic Lake Powell on the border between Arizona and Utah – wow!
