Nothing beats a summertime road trip. But there <em>is<\/em> something that would make your liberating escape even better, and that\u2019s being able to look up and see your dog\u2019s happy, panting face in the rear-view mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My chocolate lab Marta and I have been hitting the road together since 2015. From splashing around in Finnish lakes to inhaling Italian gelato and sniffing Black Forest trees to flirting with the best-looking doggos in Bordeaux, travel-savvy Marta has ticked no less than 16 European countries off her list.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gallery-slideshow-block seeker-slideshow-wrapper\"><button class=\"scroll-next\"> <\/button><button class=\"scroll-previous disabled\"> <\/button><div class=\"indicators \"><div class=\"indicator active\"><\/div><div class=\"indicator\"><\/div><div class=\"indicator\"><\/div><div class=\"indicator\"><\/div><div class=\"indicator\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"scrolling-container\"><div class=\"single-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Me-and-my-mum-in-Norway.jpeg)\"><div class=\"image-caption\">Danielle and Marta on a European Roadtrip. <\/div><\/div><div class=\"single-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Are-we-there-yet.jpg)\"><div class=\"image-caption\">Danielle and Marta on a European Roadtrip. <\/div><\/div><div class=\"single-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Itll-be-funny-they-said..-.jpeg)\"><div class=\"image-caption\">Danielle and Marta on a European Roadtrip. <\/div><\/div><div class=\"single-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Off-the-leash.jpg)\"><div class=\"image-caption\">Danielle and Marta on a European Roadtrip. <\/div><\/div><div class=\"single-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Benasque-6-copy.jpeg)\"><div class=\"image-caption\">Danielle and Marta on a European Roadtrip. <\/div><\/div><\/div><slideshow-actions :user=\"user\"><\/slideshow-actions><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re planning to drive through Italian wolf country, abscond to mutt-mecca France, or head to some of Europe\u2019s canine-loving capitals, here are 8 tips on how to make your highway journey a bit more hound friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Decide on a dog-friendly itinerary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1396928000.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11212\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Europe&#8217;s dog-friendly movement has gathered much strength over the years, some countries are more lenient towards our tail-wagging travel companions than others. France, for example, is fabulously dog friendly. Marta can trot into most hotels, caf\u00e9s, and shops without anyone even batting an eyelid. That\u2019s not to say that there aren\u2019t any rules on where pups can and can\u2019t go, it\u2019s just that there seem to be fewer regulations here, plus the French tend to kinda ignore them anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other great European doggo destinations are Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, the UK, and the Netherlands. Here, you\u2019ll find a plethora of dog-friendly businesses, not to mention locals that will stop in a heartbeat to bend down and give Marta\u2019s ears a good scratch.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our fave so far:<\/strong> hands down, our Scando-tour. The lakes! The forests! And plenty of other off-leash awesomeness.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Take stock of your hound\u2019s health and safety&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1027117096.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11213\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the vet a month before you travel to make sure vaccinations are up to date. While dogs can travel freely between most <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/food\/animals\/pet-movement\/eu-legislation\/intra-union-trade_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">EU countries<\/a> with an EU PET PASSPORT, some countries (the United Kingdom, Norway, and Sweden) have additional requirements. For example, some may require that pups take a worm pill 5 days before travelling. Another must-do is getting your four-legged adventurer microchipped and updating their dog tag with your country\u2019s calling code. Last, but not least, you\u2019ll want to protect your hound against lurking fleas and ticks and other nasties. Having to go to the vet for tests and\/or treatment is a pain in the mutt and a road-trip buzzkill for your doggo if there ever was one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Pack pup smart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_672091750.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11219\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy or make a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.preventivevet.com\/dogs\/how-to-easily-put-together-a-pet-first-aid-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">doggy first-aid kit<\/a> and make sure it includes a tick removal tool. Other essentials include a retractable water canister, poop bags, your dog\u2019s regular food, snacks, and, of course, health docs and passport. Having had to empty out the entire car to find her ear drops, food, and toy octopus a few times, I now put all of Marta\u2019s stuff in one place. In fact, I stick most things in a hanging wash bag and place it over the back of the seat. Don\u2019t forget that smelly blanket to make your hound feel at home in new surroundings. This comforter is also essential if you plan to travel by ferry and are asked to leave your dog in an outdoor crate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though doggos love hanging their head out of the window to feel the sun on their snout while their fur is being pummelled by hurricane-force winds, it\u2019s simply not worth the risk! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cesarsway.com\/safe-ways-to-transport-your-dog-in-your-car\/\">Properly restraining your dog<\/a> can be the difference between life or death for both you and your hound. Use a pet seat belt or a crash-tested crate, some even include pup airbags for extra safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our fave:<\/strong> the five-star crash tested Gunner Kennels are spacious and super safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Take lots of breaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_142719079-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11241\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Marta is the first to admit that alternating sleeping with chewing on a stuffed Kong and sniffing at a gap in the window (apparently gathering real-time intel on her current location, that sneaky ol\u2019 spydog) is nothing to be, well, sniffed at. She gets bored after a couple of driving hours. The occasional snort and\/or whine usually tells me as much. Stop every two-three hours so you can both stretch your legs, go to the loo, and play a high-intensity game of tug. I usually tire Marta out before hitting the road by playing an amped game of fetch or going for a good run.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our fave:<\/strong> Italian rest stops. Properly trained baristas and a country full of dog lovers &#8212; need I say more?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Enjoy dog-friendly activities together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1191468304.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11246\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re going off-grid or heading to the big smoke, there are plenty of epic things to do with your doggo. No matter where you&#8217;re headed, BringFido can point you toward spots where the happiest hounds hang, such as the nearest off-leash park, zoomie-inducing beach, and epic hiking trails. Local sites and personal blogs can tell you where to go for dog-friendly yoga classes, cinema screenings, excursions, and boat trips. Other cool things to do include having your pup surprise you with their SUP talent, renting a canoe or dog-friendly bike, or simply spending a lazy Sunday in a <a href=\"http:\/\/doggiepubs.org.uk\/the_pubs.php?searchtown=london&amp;lat=51.5073509&amp;long=-0.12775829999998223&amp;view=list\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">gastro-pub<\/a> where pups get home-baked treats or a restaurant where they can join you for lunch by being able to choose from a canine menu.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our fav so far: <\/strong>Marta will never forget the pig\u2019s ears she was given by the staff at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebullandlast.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">The Bull &amp; Last<\/a> on London\u2019s Hampstead Heath.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Compile a puppy-perfect Spotify playlist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_673876459.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11215\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like I spend hours putting the perfect road trip soundtrack together, so too will Marta expect to be able to bob her head to her<em> <\/em>favourite tunes. Find a plethora of compilations on Spotify or YouTube, all of which are specifically created to chill your dog out. You can also install a white noise app, which might make it easier for your pooch to settle into their new hotel surroundings.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our fav so far:<\/strong><em><strong> <\/strong><\/em>Spotify\u2019s \u2018Dog Chillout\u2019 album boasts tracks with names like \u2018Night Walk\u2019 and \u2018Green Forest\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Maintain your routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_363896369-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11214\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping the same routine (walks and being fed at the same time as usual) will mean a happier, less-stressed doggo. And less surprises for you!<strong> <\/strong>Try and stay in the same place for at least two nights. During one particular road trip, we travelled to a new city every day. It confused Marta and one of the results of her unsettledness was a tower-like poop on the red carpet in the lobby of a swanky hotel.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our fav so far:<\/strong> A week in an Italian seaside gem during winter with endless, empty beaches for Marta to totally lose her sh**t on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Book pup-friendly accommodation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_674017162.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11218\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tools such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pawsabroad.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">PawsAbroad<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bringfido.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">BringFido<\/a> are great resources for finding bark-worthy places to crash. BringFido explores thousands of places to stay, play, and eat with your dog all over Europe, while PawsAbroad focuses on pet-friendly accommodation in Austria, France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Of course, there are many hounds that refuse to stray from the \u2018near-human status\u2019 that they enjoy at home. It\u2019s with those hot diggity dogs in mind that we\u2019ve compiled a list of hotels that will happily roll out the red carpet for doggos. More on that below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although most booking sites have a pet-friendly filter, a lot of search results include those nonsensical hotels for which size matters &#8212; great for Paris Hilton, but a bitch for those of us who own a medium to large breed dog. If a place doesn\u2019t mention doggos, I often email to ask whether I can bring the <em>extraordinarily <\/em>well-behaved Marta (yes, I include a cute pic). My \u2018email-and-ask method\u2019 has had a 50 percent success rate so far.&nbsp;Note that you\u2019ll usually need to pay a little extra for your pup per night.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Our top hotel picks:<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a handful of hotels that take things up a notch when it comes to welcoming pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-marker-headers-marker-header-block marker-heading\" data-latitude=\"48.8653326\" data-longitude=\"2.3281374\">Le Meurice,\u00a0Paris, France<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dorchestercollection.com\/en\/paris\/le-meurice\/\" target=\"_blank\">Le Meurice<\/a><\/strong> in Paris, of course, makes dogs feel at home by having a nice, plush, personalized rug waiting for them on arrival.
