Traveling with animals


When this date arrives when all, or almost all, we go on vacation, the problems begin when it comes to your pet, who to leave it with, if you want to take it, etc., something that also happens when you have any trip or if you are going to change cities. A few years ago, the European Union created a animal passport, so they can travel just as we do. In Europe they can circulate freely on any means of transport, so if this summer you are going to make a great trip and you want to take your puppy, do not hesitate ... let him know the world with you! Take note of these tips for traveling with animals:

- The first thing you have to know is that this special passport is only made if it is considered animal companion, so it will not be worth it if you want to travel with your snake, iguana or similar.

- The animal passport is issued only by the veterinarian, who has to certify that your pet has all the vaccines and put any relevant information about it or about you.

- Depending on which country you are going to travel to, you will have more or less paperwork, you can find out more about this in any tourist office from that country or at the Spanish embassy. Check it online on the websites of these institutions so that you have no doubts.

- There are countries that usually put a lot of problems, such as Sweden, Ireland, the United Kingdom or Finland, but if you meet all the requirements and your dog is totally healthy you will not have any problem.

- The theme of accommodation with animals It is also somewhat complicated, although like traveling with pets It is increasingly common there are many cities that allow pets, especially in the European capitals. They are a little more expensive than other hotels, but if you want to travel with your pet, you have no other choice. The best thing is that almost all these hotels offer a «babysitting» service in case you need to go to a concert or any other event.
