Summer has arrived!
The moment we had all been waiting for to enjoy a vacation on the coast has arrived. As every year, those of us with pets always feel a little limited when choosing where to go: every ARISTOPETER enjoys vacationing with their faithful companion(s), and this is only possible on some beaches.
This year, dog-friendly destinations have been authorized in every region of Spain. At ARISTOPET, we present a list of beaches where your dog can enjoy the sea and sand without any problems.
Tips for going to the beach with your dog:
· Bring fresh water with you. If possible, have a cooler with ice to prevent the water from heating up in the sun.
· Always bring a parasol, tent, or find a place with shade.
· Have a portable water and food bowl: Your dog should always have access to water. You can see water and food bowl options HERE.
· If possible, avoid the hottest hours.
· Consider applying sunscreen for pets, especially on sensitive areas such as the belly, armpits, and ears.
· Place a cooling mat or cooling rugs so your dog can rest without being in direct contact with the hot sand or ground. At ARISTOPET, you can find rug options HERE.
· Give your dog a cool-water bath during and at the end of the day. They will thank you for cooling off.
· Check and clean their ears to remove any sand.
AN ARISTOPETER ALWAYS KEEPS AN EYE ON THEIR PET AND THE SUN. HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN CAUSE HEATSTROKE IN YOUR PET IF THEY ARE NOT CARED FOR PROPERLY. ALWAYS STAY ATTENTIVE TO THEIR CARE.
And remember to be a clean and responsible ARISTOPADRE! Always carry bags to pick up after your pets and leave the beach clean. Together we can show that pets can live alongside us and promote the acceptance of pets on more beaches.
