For me, taking Musher on vacation is a no-brainer. I'm not going to tell you it's as easy to travel with your dog as without, but it's simply a matter of organization. Dog-friendly campsites , dog-friendly guesthouses , or even dog-friendly hotels : as you can see on the website, there are a multitude of options. Going away with him is a real source of joy! Here's a list of good reasons, if you needed one, to go on vacation with your dog.
Traveling with your dog also means opening up to others
Have you noticed that when you walk with your dog, you are approached more easily? To pet him or to ask questions about his breed…: the proximity of dogs often brings owners closer together.
With Musher, it's rare that we end a walk alone. We very often meet other masters and dogs. Musher takes the opportunity to play and I to talk “dog”, as always! Many dogs have made it possible to make human friendships believe me and even love stories… and not only in the 101 Dalmatians… I know some great stories of the genre!
It's the same during the holidays. Traveling with a dog allows you to forge new relationships. Interacting with others is incredibly easy. Your dog often starts conversations by going to say hello to the people you meet.
By bringing your dog along on vacation, he discovers new places, sniffs new smells, and meets other dogs. As a result, he adapts to his new life. This allows him to be more comfortable in an unfamiliar environment and therefore more sociable. Vacationing with a dog is Woof-tastic!
Your dog ? The best company to discover new destinations
He doesn't whine, he doesn't sulk because he didn't get his vanilla ice cream, he doesn't demand a giant inflatable float by stamping his feet for hours, he's sociable in all circumstances, always in a good mood, he follows you everywhere without asking a ton of questions…: he's the ideal holiday companion ! I'm talking about: your dog!!! Plus, he happily poses for selfies that you can share with the hashtags #emmenetonchien or #wouafemenbien 🙂
These moments shared with him strengthen your bond. I already share almost everything with her, but on vacation it's even better; I take her everywhere with me: to the market, on walks, on hikes, for swimming in the sea or the river… You can also discover the list of our dog-friendly activities on our website.
Traveling with your dog means discovering your holiday destination differently
On vacation you can have lazy tendencies and like to lounge on your towel for hours with a magazine in your hand. With a dog, the holidays are much more fun than that!! You will discover new places. In addition to the encounters you make thanks to him, you take advantage of your holidays in a different way by discovering places in which you would not have thought of going if he were not with you. You are looking for places that are a little less crowded and really explore your holiday destination by going on hikes, looking for creeks so that your pooch can swim too…
For Musher, I always look for places where we won't meet many people so that I can let her roam free as much as possible. I identify places that are a little complicated to access to be sure that once there, we are almost alone. Very often, we discover magical and wild places! All that I love.

Enjoying the holidays with your dog is developing your bond
Do you share good times with your furball every day? Musher is my little sun. She wakes me up in the morning with a mega hug full of good humor and energy. Between two files, emails, phone calls at the office, she calms me down with a lick or a game. At the end of the day, we both go for a walk. We escape and decompress (finally Musher does not really need to decompress but rather to exert himself from having too much snoring in his basket all day!!). The best! Enjoy it on vacation too 🙂
Going on vacation with your dog means goodbye to the headache of finding a childcare solution
Going on vacation without Musher sucks. I hate that. I worry about knowing how she is, what she is doing, … while she seems to adapt very well to my absence, this naughty girl! And before the holidays, to find a free friend, a boarding house where I feel Musher can have a good time, a pet sitter who gives me confidence… I'm tearing my hair out.
Entrusting Musher is a heartbreaker for me. That's also why I created the site, so that I no longer have to leave her and be able to take her everywhere. I take this opportunity to thank you personally for all the tips you post online. It also allows us to go on vacation and fully enjoy it together.
Finding someone to look after your dog is a real headache and a significant expense that puts a strain on your holiday budget… Take him with you!!!
One last advantage: On vacation with your loulou, you will feel safer if he is with you. Let me explain: without being anxious by nature, as soon as you go on vacation in a new place you leave your comfort zone and it is quite human to have a little apprehension. Obviously some dogs are more impressive but despite everything, regardless of its size or breed, in case of danger your dog will give you the alert. Musher is a very cute big potato who is not suspicious of anything, despite everything sometimes when she senses danger, she bristles her hair and barks maliciously. The people opposite are less the marioles…. Recently, we were both in a little corner of paradise in the middle of Caroux. We were both swimming when 3 guys appeared out of nowhere. Musher came out of the water in a rage… They quickly passed on their way. I was quite happy with his reaction because in a bathing suit in the middle of nowhere, I wasn't too proud… even if it was 3 young men who were simply hikers taking advantage of the setting!
