Camping with a dog: what to consider

Camping and travel experts have issued guidelines for preparing a trip with a dog. Before departure, owners must obtain an EU pet passport, microchip the animal, and check its health, especially for brachycephalic breeds. The packing list includes familiar food, bowls, leash, first-aid kit, and parasite protection. When choosing a campsite, it is important to verify leash rules and available dog-friendly facilities.

Tips for protecting dogs from heat in motorhomes and caravans

The article provides recommendations for dog owners traveling in motorhomes and caravans during summer. It notes that at an outside temperature of 24°C, the inside of a car can reach 50°C after one hour, and at 40°C it can reach 70°C after 60 minutes. Motorhomes heat up more slowly due to larger volume and ventilation, but campervans heat up faster. Key measures: parking in the shade, ventilating during cooler hours, using wet towels and external sunshades, and using air conditioning with sufficient power supply.

Camping with a Dog on the North Sea: Rules to Follow

The number of campsites catering to dog owners on the North Sea coast is increasing. Popular spots include Harlesiel, Hooksiel, St. Peter-Ording, Borkum, and Norddeich. However, not all sites allow dogs: some charge extra fees, restrict size or number, and spots are often booked out in peak season. Beaches have designated dog areas, while regular beaches may ban dogs or require leashes during summer.
