Pet Friendly Accommodation

The best Pet-Friendly accommodation in Portugal

Anyone who has a pet knows how hard it is to go on vacation and leave their beloved pet behind. Fortunately, in Portugal, the number of accommodations that receive pets has been increasing. For this to continue, we too – the customers, must respect and take care of  the homes of those who receive us

Best Practices

  • When making the reservation, even if the accommodation is pet friendly, always inform the owner that you intend to take your dog.
  • Bring a blanket to protect the sofa and bed. You may not mind having a paw print on your sofa, however, others may not like this new look
  • Place the water and food bowl in a place that you know will not stain the floor
  • Bring toys or bones for your pet to play with. Don’t let him opt for the owner’s decorative items
  • Do not let your dog roam free in the common areas when they are being used by more guests
  • Do not let the dog enter the pool without the owners’ permission or when it is shared by other guests
  • Prevent the dog from peeing in the flowerbeds, and of course, always pick up your animal’s droppings.
  • Check that your pet is flea free. The following customer may not consider a flea the best of souvenirs.
