Many have probably dreamed at least once of getting into a van, taking their dog, and going on a trip. Admit it, has that happened to you? And now, more and more pet-friendly hotels are appearing where you can comfortably stay with your pet, so there's no need to sleep in that same van. Thanks to the Taxi2airport service for compiling a ranking of 20 countries where it will be comfortable to travel with an animal. 

Italy, Russia, and Poland were in the top three – they have the most hotels where you can check in with a pet, while Romania has the fewest. However, France, Italy, and Great Britain have the most five-star pet-friendly hotels. You can also find such hotels on Booking.

What's Important When Traveling with a Pet

Many still think that you can simply take a dog or cat on a plane by buying a ticket for it. But that's not the case. To take an animal abroad, you need to prepare thoroughly.

1. Find out the import requirements for animals from the embassy of the country you are visiting. Some countries may require a quarantine for the animal, and in some places, certain breeds are completely prohibited.
2. Your pet needs a health certificate. It is necessary for the airline and the hotel.
3. Clarify the animal transportation requirements with the airline you are flying with. For example, Aeroflot's requirements changed in 2017.
4. Take a pet first-aid kit with you.
