This guide takes you inside our unforgettable journey roadtripping through Europe with our dog, Phoenix- starting in the south of France, winding through the coastal charms of Italy, continuing to Lake Como, into the Dolomites, Austria, and all over Switzerland.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need to confidently plan your own European adventure with your dog-from essential travel documents and entry requirements to the best dog friendly hotels, hikes, restaurants, and activities we discovered along the way.

We break down all of the options for flying with a large breed dog, and share exactly how we booked everything seamlessly. Whether you’re planning your first international trip with your dog or looking to simplify the process, this guide offers the best recommendations based on our personal experiences.
