The joy that our furry companion brings us knows no bounds - nor does the desire to travel, which can take us to faraway countries or just to the nearest lake. But beware: travelling with a dog can also be expensive fun. In this article, we take a closer look at the most important costs of travelling with dogs and provide tips on how to keep them under control.<\/p>\n<h2>Transport costs: car, train or flight?<\/h2>\n<p>The first consideration on every journey is always the <strong>Means of transport<\/strong>. Because let's be honest, there's hardly anything more exciting for our sniffing companions than a new environment. But what costs should you expect?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Car:<\/strong> In addition to the usual petrol costs, you may also have to pay tolls. You should also make sure your dog is safe: a sturdy dog crate or a special safety belt are mandatory. These cost between 20 and 200 euros, depending on size and quality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Train:<\/strong> Many railway companies allow dogs to travel with them, often even free of charge. For larger dogs, however, a ticket is usually required, which is around 50% of the adult fare.<\/li>\n<li><strong>aeroplane:<\/strong> Special requirements apply when travelling by air. Smaller dogs are sometimes allowed to fly in a transport box in the cabin, while larger dogs have to travel in the cargo hold. Prices vary greatly, but are usually between 30 and 150 euros per flight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Surprising? Perhaps. But if you inform yourself thoroughly and plan carefully, you can save a lot and possibly even take advantage of certain discounts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-img-ai\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/haustierewissen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ai-image-undefined-undefined-Reisekosten-mit-Hunden-inline.png\" alt=\"Reisekosten mit Hunden Bild 1\">\n        <\/div>\n<h2>Accommodation: What options are there?<\/h2>\n<p>Another decisive cost factor is the <strong>Accommodation options<\/strong>. Hotels, holiday flats and campsites have different policies and fees when it comes to our beloved furry friends.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hotels:<\/strong> Many hotels now offer pet-friendly rooms. Here, an additional 10 to 30 euros per night can be charged for taking your dog with you. Please note: Not all hotels welcome dogs equally, so it is better to enquire in advance!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Holiday flats:<\/strong> A good choice for families who want to bring their dog with them. The costs for pets are often included in the final cleaning, which can cost between 20 and 50 euros extra.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camping:<\/strong> Nature-loving dog owners swear by them. There are often only small fees - usually less than 10 euros per animal per night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tip: If you are flexible and book in good time, you can take advantage of special offers and discounts that are easy on the wallet.<\/p>\n<h2>Destination and activities: What is dog-friendly?<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the right <strong>destination<\/strong> is crucial. Not every place is suitable for dogs, and sometimes the fees for entry to parks or other leisure activities are not without cost.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Beaches:<\/strong> Many coastal resorts have special dog beaches that offer not only fun but also freedom. However, car parking fees or entrance fees may apply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hiking trails and nature parks:<\/strong> Often free of charge, but there are sometimes user fees. And yes, four-legged hikers also need good footwear, especially on difficult routes - dog boots usually cost between 30 and 60 euros.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Did you already know? Many places now also offer special dog tours. These are not only educational, but also a great way to get to know the locals and their dogs.<\/p>\n<h2>Caring for your dog while travelling: What should not be missing?<\/h2>\n<p>In order to avoid unpleasant and expensive surprises, a tangible <strong>Travel preparation<\/strong> should not be missing. Here are a few points you should bear in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>First-aid kit:<\/strong> Emergency medication in case of an emergency is a must and can avoid expensive visits to the vet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insurance:<\/strong> Liability or travel insurance for animals can be worth its weight in gold in the most unforeseen situations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food and water:<\/strong> It is advisable to take enough food and fresh water with you, especially when travelling long distances - because nothing would be more unpleasant than not being able to find your dog's usual food at your destination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Watch out: There are more and more pet travel insurance policies that every pet owner should take a closer look at when travelling on long journeys.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion: Plan cleverly and save<\/h2>\n<p>Although <strong>Travelling expenses with dogs<\/strong> can seem considerable at first glance, thorough planning and research is worthwhile. If you inform yourself early on, use the right resources and remain flexible, you can save a lot of money and at the same time ensure an unforgettable experience for you and your four-legged friend.<\/p>\n<p>So pack your bag, grab your dog, and nothing stands in the way of travelling with man's best friend. Have fun and have a good journey!<\/p>\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3>Which airline accepts dogs weighing up to 10 kg in the cabin?<\/h3>\n<p>Lufthansa, Eurowings, Condor, Austrian Airlines, TUI fly, SunExpress, Air France and KLM generally allow small dogs up to 10 kg to be carried in the cabin. It is advisable to check the specific guidelines of the respective airline in advance.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I take a dog with me on the 49 Euro ticket?<\/h3>\n<p>The Deutschland-Ticket does not include the carriage of chargeable dogs. This means that dogs cannot travel free of charge on the Deutschland-Ticket.

You will also need a flight crate or carrier bag, which can be purchased or borrowed.<\/p>\n<h3>Are there any special requirements for the transport box in the aircraft?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, the transport box must fulfil certain requirements, which can vary depending on the airline. It should be stable, well ventilated, leak-proof and large enough for the dog to stand, turn and lie down comfortably. It is advisable to enquire about the exact specifications with the airline you have booked.<\/p>\n<h3>Can all dog breeds fly on aeroplanes?<\/h3>\n<p>No, not all dog breeds are permitted to fly, especially brachycephalic (short-headed) breeds such as pugs or bulldogs, which may be restricted due to breathing problems.
