Holidays with dogs at sea: where to go, tips, reviews

28 May 2022, 14:43

Check with your veterinarian to see if warm seas will harm your pet. For example, heat is contraindicated for Spitz and Husky dogs. The main dangers for dogs when vacationing in the south are overheating and hypothermia, so we made the first point about how to look after your pet at sea.

Don't take your dog into the water if he is afraid to swim. Some breeds cannot swim physiologically - they are hampered by the structure of the respiratory organs, short legs, fragile physique, due to which the animal quickly gets tired or becomes hypothermic. So you should bathe bulldogs, dachshunds, pugs, Pekingese, corgis, and toy breed dogs with caution.

Problems in finding housing

The main problem that tourists face when going on a trip with their four-legged friend is the choice of accommodation. Most recreation centers even indicate in their rules that check-in of those who come on vacation is carried out without pets. If you try to rent accommodation in a private boarding house, then not everyone wants to accept tourists with dogs on vacation. And there are enough obvious reasons for this.

If this is a private boarding house, then the owners do not want to have problems with their other guests. An important reason for refusal may be fear for the safety of the furniture in the room and its condition after the departure of vacationers with a dog. The laboriousness of cleaning is also one of the reasons for refusal to accommodate pets.

That is, when looking for housing, you need to be prepared for such turns of fate. But don’t despair, and you can always find somewhere to go to the seaside with a dog, where there are pet-friendly options.

32 km along Shchelkovskoe highway Sosnovy Bor boarding house is located in the east of the Moscow region, just 32 km from the Moscow Ring Road along Shchelkovskoe highway. The territory of Sosnovy Bor occupies 7.5 hectares, on which there is a residential complex with 91 rooms and an eight-bed cottage with a sauna. For children there is a playground and a children's room, and there is a swimming pool. Fans of active recreation will appreciate the presence of sports grounds, a gym and tennis courts.

Three meals a day, included in the price of the tour, are presented in the form of a buffet: breakfasts, lunches and set dinners.

The boarding house is well suited for an inexpensive family holiday, as well as for corporate events, conferences, sports gatherings and organizing celebrations.

At the Sosnovy Bor boarding house, holidays with animals in the main building and cottages are paid additionally in the amount of 400 rubles per day.

Booking rooms for holidays with a dog

When booking a room at a recreation center where you know that pets are allowed, be sure to inform the administrator about the characteristics of your dog. Important information is the breed, size and training of the dog. Tourists with small dogs are accepted without any problems. If, for example, the dog is a Labrador, then without prior agreement you may receive a refusal to settle upon arrival.

In resort hotels and recreation centers, which strictly adhere to sanitary and hygienic standards, it is possible to require a veterinary book with all vaccinations for the animal. This must be taken into account before going on vacation to the sea with a dog.

It is worth taking into account such a fact as the dog staying in a separate hotel for animals on the territory of a recreation center or hotel. This is common practice. But at the same time, it is not allowed to have an animal in the owner’s room.

Drive

Regardless of the chosen method of transportation, travel is always stressful for your pet. That is why the main task of the owner is to minimize its consequences. If your dog starts to get nervous on the road or gets motion sick, you can give him medications such as:

• Vetspokoin;
• Fitex;
• Stop stress.

Important! Before traveling, you should consult with your veterinarian about the possibility of taking medications.

Traveling is stressful for a dog, so it is important to minimize its consequences.

Rules for holidays at sea

When going on vacation at sea with a dog, you should familiarize yourself with the rules that you should follow:

• When going on vacation with a dog, you need to take its accessories with you: bowls, towels, toys. You cannot use dishes and towels provided at recreation centers for people.
• Walking dogs is prohibited in the recreation areas of resort guests. If there are no walking areas, the owners must clean up after the animal.
• It is prohibited for animals to be present in food eating areas.
• The dog must be on a leash outside the room area. For large dogs, they must have a muzzle.

Arrival

Dogs, like people, can suffer from changes in climate, food and water composition. Give the dog time to acclimatize and look around, don’t let him get nervous. If the animal wants to sleep, give it this opportunity. Start walking for a short period of time, explore the surroundings together and find an acceptable place for walking. It is worth finding out where the nearest veterinary clinic and pet store are located. While on vacation, give your pet bottled water.

Recreation centers on the Sea of ​​Azov

To relax on the Azov Sea with a dog, you need to go to Yeysk. There are two hotels in the city where pets are allowed. These are the Berdyanskaya mini-hotel and Grand Hotel Soho.

Family-type hotel Berdyansk, close to the beach. Clean rooms, nice friendly staff. What is important is that on the ground floor there is access to a separate courtyard where you can walk your dog. Accepted at the hotel after checking the documents for the pet. The passport must contain vaccination records.

You can come to the Sea of ​​Azov by car. There is an active recreation center in the village of Dolzhanskaya. They also accept a dog to live with if there is a vaccination record in the veterinary passport. Pets are charged 10% of the room rate. No-frills living conditions. There is everything for relaxation for both owners and animals. The dog tolerates traveling by car best. Many people go to the Sea of ​​Azov on vacation with their dog using personal transport. On the train, a four-legged friend is uncomfortable even in a separate compartment. It's stressful for him.

It is better to relax at sea with your dog in the early hours, or in the evening, when there are fewer people on the beach. No matter how kind she is, even the owner cannot be completely sure of the behavior of his pet. Especially in a foreign environment for the dog. Therefore, the best option is to find places on the “wild” beach area. You won’t disturb anyone’s rest here, and the dog will be calmer without unnecessary attention.

How to get there

The most acceptable option for transporting a dog to the sea is a car. Depending on the distance of the resort, travel can be arranged by other means of transport.

By car

Traveling by car is easy to organize, especially if the dog rides well in a car. When traveling long distances, follow these rules:

• make frequent “green stops” where you let the dog out to stretch its paws, drink water, go to the toilet - every 4 hours;
• On the way to the sea in a car, two dangers await a dog - overheating and a cold. Do not leave your pet alone in the car with the windows closed. Use air conditioning carefully - cold air causes colds;
• feed before a long stop - at least 3 hours between eating and starting movement;
• leave enough space in your car for easy placement.

By train

Convenient travel option. Note that Russian Railways has abolished the requirement (since 2017) to provide veterinary documents if the movement occurs within Russia.

There are restrictions related to the size of animals:

• when transporting a large dog, you need to buy the entire compartment;
• For small breeds you will have to pay extra.

Disadvantages of such a trip: short train stops and difficulties with walking along the way.

By plane

To save time, you can use the services of an airplane. But remember - your pet will have to travel in a separate box, without you.

For some breeds, flying can be extremely dangerous - brachiocephalic breeds, for example.

Rules for organizing flights to the sea:

• consult a veterinarian about the possibility of flying - whether the animal’s breed and health condition allow it;
• Find out the requirements of the airline you plan to fly with: what documents will be needed, the size of the carrier and other conditions;
• You will definitely need to present a veterinary passport and a veterinary certificate in Form No. 1 (valid for 5 days after issue);
• transportation will need to be booked in advance and the ticket must be paid upon confirmation of the reservation by the airline.

Holidays for “savages” with a dog

There is a very good option for relaxing with your four-legged friend, which may be suitable for many owners of large dogs. They don’t really want to take tourists on vacation with them for the reasons mentioned above. But you can organize your vacation by going to the Sea of ​​Azov by car with a trailer. A trailer is a car house that can be rented. Usually this is a house with a shower, toilet, refrigerator and four sleeping places.

The convenience of such a house on wheels is that you are not tied to a vacation spot. The coast of the Sea of ​​Azov is large, there are plenty of places with wild nature and wonderful warm sea. And the dog will feel at home in nature. But there are also campsites where you can perfectly “drop anchor” a few meters from the sea. The same village of Dolzhanskaya has several campsites on the coast.

Switzerland

The Swiss take pet ownership very seriously. Before you can get a dog in this country, the government will recommend that you complete a training course (it was even previously a legal obligation). However, once your pet is registered, you will realize that this country is an oasis for pets. One dog owner wrote: “Almost every restaurant we visited went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The fact that the dog was offered water when we sat down at the table no longer surprised me.”

To the Black Sea with a dog

The desire to relax with your four-legged friend is very understandable, especially since he is not only a friend, but also a family member from the very first day of his appearance. How can you go on vacation without it? A dog loves its owner so much that resting without it, leaving it to your loved ones, is simply a betrayal.

Checking into a hotel or private mini-hotel with a dog when vacationing on the Black Sea is very problematic. But there is a small village called Bolshoy Utrish, where you can rent a room with all the amenities in the private sector. In addition to all the conditions (almost like at home), there is a split system, that is, you will be saved from the heat. City beach 80 meters from the property. There is parking for cars. For provisions for your dog, you can go to Anapa and buy meat or food for every taste.

In Bolshoi Utrish, the private sector welcomes guests with dogs. Judging by the reviews of dog owners, many people come to the village with their four-legged friends. On the beach in the summer there are many vacationers with Labradors, shepherds, hunting dogs, not to mention decorative ones. The attitude of holidaymakers without animals towards dogs is very positive. But you need to be prepared for intrusive attention from them or children to the dog. If she is not a fan of excessive attention, it is better to keep your pet on a short leash and muzzle if it is a large dog.

Hotel Veles

220 km along the Gorkovskoye Highway From the Veles Hotel to Moscow, 220 km along the Gorkovskoye Highway, and 20 km to Vladimir. The hotel, designed for 500 people, has plenty to do: bowling, a bathhouse, a sauna and a swimming pool, and organizes hikes, which the rich nature of the surrounding area encourages.

In Veles, living with a cat or a decorative breed dog costs from 500 rubles per day, and with a large dog 1000 rubles per day.

Holidays in Adler with a dog

Adler is no exception when it comes to staying in a hotel. In principle, if you listen to representatives of the administration of hotels and recreation centers, you can also understand them. They worry about all the residents, and some of them may be allergic to wool.

Therefore, at the moment there is no alternative to holidaying in Adler in the private sector by the sea with a dog. When choosing a settlement in the private sector, it is worth communicating on social networks on forums. Many are ready to share their impressions, giving addresses and telephone numbers of private owners who gladly accept guests with animals.

Moreover, by communicating online, you can find the same dog owners with whom you can spend a vacation in Adler by the sea. The private sector has its own advantages in recreation. This is, first of all, the presence of a yard where the dog can walk. You can always agree with a private owner about an annual visit, since for them in resort towns, renting out housing is the main source of income.

Germany

Other countries need to take a page from Germany in how stray animals should be treated humanely. The entire country has a clear policy against killing stray animals, and Berlin is home to the largest animal shelter in all of Europe. There can be almost two thousand animals here at the same time, including horses. Dogs are a very important part of everyday life in Germany and are treated with the same respect as any other family member.

Holidays with a dog in the Krasnodar region

There are very few hotels on the Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar Territory that are ready to accommodate vacationers with dogs. Accommodation options for owners of hunting, service and fighting dogs are especially difficult. Probably no dog owner will be able to go on vacation, leaving his pet imprisoned in an enclosure. Moreover, large dogs require special care and maintenance.

Unfortunately, hotel complexes at Russian resorts cannot afford to have a dog handler to take care of their four-legged guests. So, when going on vacation with a dog to the sea in the Krasnodar Territory, you have to be content with resort accommodation options in the private sector. They do not want to accept guests with small dogs in hotels in the region, explaining their refusal by unplanned expenses for cleaning the premises where the animals lived. Of course, the service in resort hotels leaves much to be desired. Moreover, on vacation with dogs at sea abroad, there are usually no problems with accommodating guests with their pets. Many hotels adhere to the rule “for your money - any whim.”

Great Britain

There are very few rules regarding whether you can bring your pet into the UK from another country, and the British people happily welcome furry visitors. A few surprising places in England you can take your dog to are Newlyn Art Gallery, Creech Tramway Museum and Newhaven Fort. However, the UK doesn't just love its furry friends. In 2008, the British Federation of Herpetologists reported that around eight million reptiles and amphibians are kept as pets by people across the country.

Dog-friendly hotels

It is gratifying to learn that, albeit sporadically, hotels are beginning to appear, albeit of a closed club type, which welcome guests with their beloved dogs. This is the Aquamarine Hotel & SPA in the Tuapse region, providing residents with 4* services. The dog is accommodated for an additional fee, but it will be with its owner, delighting him with its presence throughout the entire holiday. For those going on vacation in a car, the Aquamarine Hotel will provide a place in a comfortable guarded parking lot.

You can come to the hotel with a dog if you have documents from the veterinary service. Guests are accommodated in special rooms designed for pets. The hotel has a tariff for additional cleaning and disinfection of the room during your stay and after leaving the room. Whatever vacation you choose, let it be enjoyable.

Documents for traveling with a pet

Having documents when traveling is a mandatory requirement. You must have documents with you, both permanent and those that are issued only immediately before the trip.

The first include:

• a document that confirms that the dog belongs to the owner;
• veterinary passport;
• rabies antibody test.

Before each trip, the following documents are issued:

• veterinary certificate in form No. 1;
• veterinary certificate of the Customs Union in Form No. 1, if you are planning a trip to Kazakhstan or Belarus;
• veterinary certificate in form No. 5 if you plan to travel abroad;
• EU veterinary certificate if you are traveling through the EU countries.

Sweden

Swedish dogs are not only allowed to walk without a leash. This country even limits the amount of time dogs can be kept in crates and carriers. Speaking of interesting activities, you can visit ancient fortresses, botanical gardens, campsites and even luxury restaurants with your dog. European cities are more tolerant of dogs than, for example, American cities. So if you come to Sweden, you shouldn't be surprised to see people in the grocery store with their dogs.

Netherlands

Whether you're looking for indoor or outdoor fun with your pet, the Netherlands is the place to go. Wherever you want to go, you can do it through public transport, and with your dog. The Netherlands loves animals so much that they even offer a discount on health insurance for vegans and vegetarians.
