Traveling by car with a dog? Yes, definitely!

 If you're just one of those two-legged who can't leave their lovable furry friend behind when they go on their next trip we will help you keep your dog happy and healthy on the road. Paw traveller At the very beginning, let it be known that we contribute to your peace of mind and overall happiness, so we really see no point in losing some of that zen feeling if your furry friend can't accompany you on the adventures that travel brings. The two of us frequently travel by car and often travel thousands of kilometers, so we consider ourselves experienced enough to give advice on this topic! We are small and this doesn't apply to the two of us as the windows are out of our reach, but... keep your head and paws inside! Our furry friends enjoy it when their head sticks out of the window , but this is not really recommended because it can cause an ear infection or expose the peeking traveler to a cold, so instead of enjoying the beach, they will rush to the vet stations and g...

A trip or a holiday with a dog, the question is now?!

  From the first paw, tips for traveling with a dog So, how do you decide if it's always a good idea to take your furry friend with you, or if it's sometimes better to leave them at home? Paw traveller All those who have traveled with a dog will agree with the two of us that traveling with a dog is like traveling with children . But those who are just planning to do it should know what challenges await them and what they should keep in mind before embarking on such an adventure. Wof, yes... first comes packing before the trip, which involves serious planning, and you can also make a list so you don't forget anything. Put on the list our cribs, bowls for water and food, clothes if we are traveling to a colder destination, a small dog pharmacy, a certain amount of food that we are used to, and of course toys that we may not play with because a thousand interesting things are waiting for us... but still let them be there because they create a sense of familiarity. Wof, let...

Is your accommodation pet friendly? And why it is not?

From the first paw - Dog tips for future pet-friendly accommodations and owners who take their pets with them Paw traveller Our travel companion and travel organizer start planning our vacation with the accommodation search.  First, she types desired location, and she's delighted - super 300 plus! Then she puts a pet-friendly filter, and suddenly it looks like we grasp at straws!   The search is reduced several times... Why is it like this when there is great potential in pet-friendly tourism? And why we are not welcome? If the type of accommodation you are renting out allows the possibility for furry friends, try to allow pets. If you are the owner of a hostel, of course, this is more difficult to make possible. But if you have a villa with separated apartments, a multi-level house where the apartments on the ground floor have access to the yard, or let's say bungalows with nice terraces... What stops you from being pet friendly? Paw traveller Ah, wof! Preconceived notions t...

Woof. woof trip with your best furry friend! Reach out to the paw!

Traveling with a dog? Yes, always, so I'm a dog! Traveling with us brings endless joy and we are truly great travel buddies . Tired as a dog- Paw traveller Although it's generally thought to be reserved exclusively for humans, we can feel stressed, so taking a vacation is a great way to relieve stress. Every change pleases both, us four-legged and you two-legged ones. Just like you, we- your furry friends deserve a break sometimes . And if you ask the two of us, traveling with a dog can be compared to traveling with a best friend , which we probably are. The idea of such a trip is exciting, but... during the trip we will see new things and experience the world from a different perspective. We are changing our everyday life and the space we are used to, some things will scare us, so it is not surprising that we will bark . So, you will have to learn to control our barking, in order not to make other people uncomfortable. You have to keep in mind that it drives someone crazy when...

Wof, that Uvac- Zlatar- Serbia- Part two

Cruise through the Uvac canyon  Paw traveller- Antigona Hello, I am Antigona, long-haired chihuahua . I am 12 years old and I like to travel with my friend MiÅ¡kin, who is also a chihuahua. I wrote how old am I just to assure you that there are no limits if you are vital and ready for adventure. How we organized and arrived here was written by my companion in the post  "Wof, that UVAC - Part one" , and now, I will write to you about how we spent the second day on Uvac and cruising the canyon . This was a phenomenal trip that I recommend to everyone. We booked the trip from our home in Belgrade through the Zlatarinfo portal, cause we didn't want to risk coming and realizing that there is no free place, and besides of that my companion had to announce two four-legged and two two-legged passengers. The price of the trip is 1500 dinars per two-legged passenger, and for us, four-legged beauties, it is free! Paw traveller- Special Nature Reserve Uvac The cruise starts from th...

Wof, that Uvac- Zlatar- Serbia- Part one

Paw traveller- Uvac Insufficient information on the internet about Uvac and the fact that we are traveling with our two best friends - two dogs, prolonged our decision to travel to this location which is definitely worth a visit. Anyway, the hour was upon us and we decided to go on! An extended weekend to Uvac - a Serbian gem! After several hours of searching on the internet, we come to the conclusion that agencies offer bus trips where our friends are not welcome, and we decide to travel on our own. We found the desired accommodation on one site, but in the desire to get a better deal, we continued our search that took us to the portal ZlatarInfo, which was a complete success. The accommodation that we originally found on the mentioned site for 50 euros, cost us 35 euros per day. We have booked two nights and that is enough to visit this locality without haste. The great thing is that by calling the contact phone from the Zlatarinfo portal, you will organize everything from your home....

Is it expensive to travel with a dog?

Is it expensive to travel with a dog,  and what else to keep in mind when planning a trip with a furry friend Paw traveller Traveling with a dog may not necessarily be more expensive than traveling alone, but it will be also due to the choices you will make during your vacation with your best furry friend. So, if you are planning to travel with your furry friend start searching for accommodation on time, and avoid choosing a hotel with high pet fees. First of all, don't assume and always ask if the accommodation is pet friendly or not, and if there is an additional charge. One email or phone call will save your time and reduce the possibility of misunderstandings and frustration. Although more and more people share their lives with pets a large number of accommodations are not pet friendly, many accomodations charge certain additional fees, but there are also those that are completely free. Paw traveller If you go somewhere close to place where you live you can go by car or train,...

From the first PAW- Dog travel tips

Chihuahuas, Antigona and Mishkin advise you from the first paw experience about nutrition and care while travelling. Hey, here we are again! We just wanted to bark a little about things you need to take care about when you are travelling with your dog . Mishkin- Paw traveller Our two-legged friends are full members of our family as we are, so we allow them to accompany us on trips, whether it is just for a weekend or longer vacations. So why not travel with your dog too? What matters to you- two-legged, when deciding to this step is to ensure that your dog feel comfortable while travelling . So that's why two of us have some helpful tips on nutrition and care of your best friends while on the road.  Agios Andreas- Peloponnese- Paw traveller We, four-legged are sensitive and can show unusual behavior while travelling as any change can be stressful for us. For example, the two of us behave completely different when travelling somewhere. Mishkin fell asleep...

Responsible Guest- May Your DOG Recommend You?

FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF TWO DOGS -  Mishkin and Antigona telling the st ory Don't ask us anything, our travel companion and tour operator often complains that when she is trying to book selected accommodation, it is better to say that she has a bubonic plague than she is taking two dogs with her. Mishkin & Antigona- Paw traveler Although more and more people have pets and would be happy to take them wherever they go, it's still little bit complicated and need some extra planning. Sometimes this is due to various prejudices and sometimes because of bad experiences. One lady in which house we were staying told us that she had a bad experience with one guest and his dog. The guest was leaving his dog alone in the room all day, so the unfortunate furry fellow messed up the apartment pretty much. But it is not us, the four-legged who are to blame for such a negative impressions. Dog siesta time- Paw traveller We are social beings and we don't like to b...
