Also, make sure your dog has all the necessary vaccinations and treatments against external parasites to protect him/her from the possible risks in the nature.
If you visit a national park, it is necessary to have a dog on the lead or follow the Visitor´s Rules.
Hotels and guest houses in Liptov region are also dog-friendly and they will be happy to welcome you together with your dog.
Some of the hotels and guest houses have the policy that allows accommodation with a dog. However, each accommodation facility may have its own rules and restrictions relating to the animals. Therefore, before you book accommodation, it is always important to contact the specific hotel or the guest house to verify that they accept pets.
When communicating with the accommodation facilities, it is good to find out the following information:
- Animal policy: Try to find out if the hotel or the guesthouse allows accommodation with a dog. Some places may accept only small dogs, while the others will allow larger breeds. There may also be restrictions on the number of animals in the room.
- Fees and deposits: Find out about any dog accommodation fees. Some facilities may require a deposit or special insurance to cover possible damage caused by the animal.
- The rules and restrictions: Ask about rules referring to your stay with your dog. A lead on a dog´s collar in common areas may be required, or you may be required to ensure that your dog does not disturb other guests.
- Dog´s facilities: Find out if the hotel or the guest house provides any special facilities for the dog, such as paddocks, dog beds, or bowls for water and food. Some accommodation facilities may also have restrictions on dogs’ access to certain areas, such as the restaurants or swimming pools.
It is also worth remembering that some places may require of the guests to follow specific hygiene rules for animals, such as the obligation to collect dog excrements.

What not to forget when going on holiday with your dog?
When you go on vacation with your dog, there are a few important things you should not forget:
- Passport and vaccination ID cards: Make sure your dog has a valid passport and all the necessary vaccinations that are required in the country you are traveling to. If you are traveling internationally, additional documents may be required.
- Food and water: Remember to take enough food and water for your dog during the holiday. It can be difficult to find the same brand of food if your dog has specific food requirements.
- Walking equipment: Take all necessary walking equipment with you, such as a lead, dog´s collar, harness and litter collection bags. You’ll also need your dog’s favourite toys to keep him interested and have fun.
- Bed and blanket: Take a comfortable bed or blanket with you for your dog so that he or she has his own place to rest and sleep.
- Medications and veterinary supplies: If your dog is taking any medications or has special veterinary needs, make sure you have enough medication for the entire holiday. It can also be helpful to have a phone number from your local vet in case of any health issues occur.
- Identification information: You should always have your contact details and your dog’s identification information with you. This can include a microchip, a ring with the name and phone number, or any other way to recognize your dog identity easily.
- Fun and exercise: Don’t forget to ensure enough fun and exercise for your dog. You can bring his favourite toys, win the time for walks and check if there are suitable places at the destination for training and run around.
It is also important to look for the information about local rules and regulations regarding the dogs, as well as suitable places for walks and outdoor activities with your dog.
