Traveling with Pets: Checklist and Rules for a Pet-Friendly Vacation

Pets are full-fledged family members, so the thought of leaving your furry friend at home or in a pet hotel during vacation often causes anxiety. Fortunately, modern hotel service is becoming increasingly pet-friendly, and the Ribas Hotels Group chain is happy to welcome guests along with their four-legged companions.

To ensure your trip together goes smoothly, comfortably, and without unpleasant surprises, we have prepared a detailed guide on preparing for the journey and the rules for staying in a hotel.

How to Prepare Your Pet for the Trip: Travel Packing Checklist

A successful trip starts with a properly packed suitcase. For a pet, a change of environment is always an added stress, so it is important to bring familiar items that create a sense of home.

Documents and Medical Preparation:
• Veterinary passport with records of scheduled vaccinations and parasite treatments.
• Your vet's contact details and the address of the nearest 24/7 clinic in the vacation city.

Comfort and Hygiene Essentials: 
• Usual food and bowls for food and water. 
• Supply of drinking water for the journey. 
• Favorite bed or blanket with the scent of home. 
• Comfortable gear: leash, harness, collar with ID tag, and muzzle if required.
• Hygiene products: waste bags, disposable pads, paw wipes. 
• Toys and treats for adapting in the room.

Rules for Staying with Four-Legged Guests in the Hotel

To make the stay comfortable for you, your pet, and other hotel guests, please follow a few important rules:

• Public Areas. Keep dogs on a leash in the lobby, hallways, and hotel grounds, and keep cats or small pets in a dedicated carrier. 
• Hygiene. Always clean up after your pet while walking them on the premises. 
• Quiet in the Room. Try not to leave your pet unattended for long periods if they are prone to getting anxious or barking in your absence.
