Always check the specific requirements of the country of destination by obtaining information either at your travel agency, embassy or by asking your veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dog transportation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When travelling, your dog must be <strong>transported safely and comfortably<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are travelling by <strong>plane<\/strong>, contact the airline to find out what their policies are for transporting pets and book a seat for your dog in advance, but be careful: not all of them allow dogs on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general rule is that only dogs weighing a maximum of 10 kg (including the carrier) may be transported in the cabin; bigger dogs are transported in the cargo hold with all that this entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Food and water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the trip, make sure to bring <strong>enough food and water<\/strong> for your dog&#8217;s needs. In general, it is advisable to take the <strong>dog&#8217;s usual food<\/strong> to avoid stomach issues and diarrhoea. If you travel <strong>by plane<\/strong>, check the airline&#8217;s rules for transporting food and water for pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transport of medicines and accessories<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your dog needs medication or special accessories, such as leashes or harnesses, be sure to take them with you on your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Check the local rules for importing medicines for pets<\/strong>, as some substances may be banned in some countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Local rules and restrictions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before travelling, <strong>check the local rules and restrictions concerning dogs in the destination country<\/strong>. In some countries, dogs may not be allowed in certain areas, such as national parks or beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, some establishments, such as restaurants or hotels, may not accept dogs. Check carefully before making your reservation. You can <strong>contact the tourism authorities<\/strong> of the places that you plan to visit, they will provide you with all the information you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dog care and hygiene<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While travelling, be sure to take care of your dog, <strong>keeping it clean and hygienic<\/strong>. Have bags for faeces collection with you and behave as you would in Italy. Respect for others must always be at the top of your priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoy your travelling!<\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"grids-section grids-is-advanced\" style=\"--_gs-gap-desktop:0px 0px;--_gs-m-desktop:0 0 0 0;--_gs-p-desktop:0 0 0 0;--_gs-bg-desktop:#4a9ead none;--_gs-bg-xp-desktop:0px;--_gs-zi-desktop:auto;--_gs-d-desktop:block;--_gs-mw-desktop:calc(100% -
