May I take my pet with me to another country?

There are rules for travelling with pets within the European Union. Every pet must have a European pet passport and a valid rabies vaccination. This vaccination must have been given at least 21 days before departure. The pet must also be identifiable by a microchip or tattoo. Additional rules apply to certain dog breeds in some countries. For example, some dog breeds are not allowed in France. So make sure you familiarise yourself with the rules of your holiday destination in advance. Also take into account the rules of countries you will be travelling through on your way to your final destination.

Does “Pets allowed” appear under “All features” for your desired holiday accommodation and do you comply with the above rules? Then your pet can come with you to your holiday destination abroad. You can find these accommodations on the Destinations page or by using the search function at the top of your screen under “With whom? 1 or 2 pets” to add your travel companion(s).

When booking, always indicate that you are bringing a pet. To register assistance dogs or other pets other than dogs, cats or ferrets, please contact our Guest Services.
