We have never considered the kennel option for even a day as, being a 'rescue dog', she has already spent too much time locked up, and we would not wish to undo all the trust she now has in us. Unlike the UK, Europe is very dog-friendly and we were able to take her with us when eating in restaurants and bars. We always asked first if we could take her in, but the answer was inevitably "But of course!, Why not?"... To use supermarkets was not always so easy... but most places have shady spots in the car parks, and if it was too hot to leave her in the car, just one of us did the shopping, and the other one stayed and had an ice cream to keep cool! ... and most big supermarkets allow dogs into their cafes anyway, so both the people and the animal can benefit from the air conditioning! To visit tourist attractions, the answer might be to leave the dog in your 'van on a camp site with a hook up if you have air con., as then the dog is at home in familiar surroundings and you know the temperature will not be a problem..... but this might not be a possibility if you are not towing a car behind your 'van to allow you the flexibility Good luck on your travels!

My partner and I want to go round europe for a year with our cocker spaniel called Hugo. Do you have any advice when it comes to seeing Cities? My top priority is my dog but do not want to miss out on seeing some of the City attractions - did you ever put your dog in to a kennel for a day? Many thanks Stuart Hello,

What a fantastic post about traveling with your dog. My partner and I want to go round europe for a year with our cocker spaniel called Hugo.

Do you have any advice when it comes to seeing Cities? My top priority is my dog but do not want to miss out on seeing some of the City attractions - did you ever put your dog in to a kennel for a day?

Many thanks
Stuart
