World Animal Day: Apartments for Traveling with Pets

Suitcase ready, passport in hand, tickets in wallet, and taxi at the door waiting to take you to the airport… You grab your coat and keys, and as you are about to shut the door, dreaming of your holiday destination, there he is… staring at you from below with those little eyes that seem to shout “Love me!”, immediately breaking your heart down into a thousand pieces. You try your best to avoid eye contact and mutter a quick goodbye to prevent getting into an endless cuddle that might make you miss your plane and pride.

Does the scene sound familiar? How many times have you had to seal off your feelings so you can go on a trip without feeling a terrible sense of emptiness that hunts you until your return?

It’s a fact: human-pet friendships know no limits but they don’t tolerate long distances well. Traveling souls are not well suited for pet loving. Or are they?

As it turns out, you don’t always have to part with your best friend whenever your body calls for a getaway. One of the advantages of booking an apartment is that, just like at home, you can take along anything you consider essential for having the best of times. Animals included. It’s as easy as checking the “pets allowed” filter when searching for accommodation, and you’ll be immediately led to a full listing of apartments where pets are welcome.

Today, in celebration of World Animal Day, we’d like to show you some of our favorite apartments where pets are allowed. So that instead of having a dog of a holiday, you can have a holiday with your dogs. Which would you rather?
