How to Travel the World Without Leaving Your Dog Behind

We get it, leaving your dog behind can make even the most beautiful holiday feel incomplete.


But what if you didn’t have to?


Pet-friendly travel has come a long way, and whether you’re staying in the UK or jetting off to Europe (or further), you can now bring your dog in comfort and style. Here's how.



UK Breaks With Dogs, Done Right


From Cornwall to the Cotswolds, the UK is packed with dog-welcoming properties that don’t sacrifice luxury. Look for:


  • Enclosed gardens and firelit lounges

  • Spa hotels with dog-friendly afternoon teas

  • Beach houses with direct access to coastal paths


The Sandy Duck

Falmouth Bay, boutique B&B


Stanwell House

On a harbour-edge high street in a classic British coastal town, Lymington.


Dornoch Station

Within swinging distance from Sutherland’s storied links, in the Scottish Highlands.


European Adventures With Your Dog


Yes, you can bring your dog to Europe, you just need a little planning.


What You’ll Need:

  • Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued by a UK vet

  • Microchip + proof of rabies vaccination

  • Tapeworm treatment (if entering Finland, Ireland, Malta or Norway)

  • Planning the AHC within 10 days of travel


We’ll help with timelines, vet recommendations, and every document required.


Where You Can Drive To:


Many of our clients opt to drive from the UK through the Eurotunnel or ferry, then onwards to:


France – vineyard villas, alpine cabins, coastal towns. Stay here:


70 Hectares et l'Océan

A hidden-away hotel in the sandy-soled southwest of France


Spain – especially the Basque region or Andalusia. Stay here:


Can Mascort Eco Hotel

Cheery goldenrod façade standing out like a beacon in Catalan Palafrugell’s centre


Portugal – with relaxed rules and open coastline. Stay here:


Three House Hotel

A triple-threat combination of Atlantic Ocean-facing apartments, a swimming-pool-topped sun terrace, and a North African-influenced restaurant and cocktail bar.


Switzerland or Italy – if you love mountain air and lakeside retreats. Stay here:


Casa Olea Hotel

A former 18th-century vicarage turned boutique hotel on the bank of Lake Como.

Flying With Dogs - Without the Stress


Flying your dog doesn't have to mean cargo holds. Consider:


VistaJet: Private jets with full pet programs, from gourmet meals to custom sleep mats.


K9 Jets: Semi-private jets where dogs fly in-cabin with you, no crates required.


Cunard Cruises: Queen Mary 2 allows dogs on board in luxury kennels, with walking decks and attendants. Ideal for transatlantic voyages.


Dog-Friendly Trains: In Europe, some sleeper and scenic trains now welcome dogs, like this night train experience

Travelling with pets can feel overwhelming, but not when we handle it. At Case Travel, we offer:

  • Personalised travel planning for you and your pet

  • Coordination of AHCs, ferries, flights or jets

  • Handpicked pet-friendly stays

  • Concierge extras: dog sitters, walkers, or even birthday cakes


Don’t Leave Them Behind, Bring Them With You. They’re not just a pet, they’re part of the family. And now, they can be part of the adventure too.


Whether you want a weekend break in Devon or a European summer road trip with your pup riding shotgun, we’ll make it unforgettable, and stress-free.
