Vacation is the most wonderful time of the year. Of course, the four-legged friend has to come along. Some accommodations are considered particularly dog-friendly.
Even during the holiday season, many dog owners don't want to be without their four-legged family member. You don't have to, because the selection of dog-friendly accommodation is now large. But would you rather stay in Germany to avoid long car journeys with your dog or would you rather travel abroad to discover new things? Do you choose a dog-friendly campsite or a chic hotel? Whatever you decide, planning early usually pays off.
