Vacation without a dog - dream or nightmare?

Vacation without a dog - dream or nightmare? - bauernhofurlaub.info

For dog owners, it's hard to imagine going on vacation without their dog. After all, their loyal companion is part of the family. This raises the question:

  • Are there any farms where dogs are not welcome?
  • Should the dog come with us on vacation? What will we do with him all day?
  • Is there any possibility of taking him with me?
  • Would he feel more comfortable in an all-inclusive dog boarding facility?

Many farms make it possible and welcome dogs

For his owners, it's clear that my little Balu has to come along on holiday, and everyone should benefit from it. We recommend a holiday on a farm where dogs are welcome. Selected holiday farms make this possible, such as the Berghof Montpelon in Gänsbrunnen , which, according to the motto

“The place for animals, friends, family and thus a piece of home”

warmly welcome the loyal four-legged friends to your farm.

Many dog ​​owners feel particularly at home on farms, as they offer beautiful walks from the farm , hikes with their furry friend become an adventure and you can simply spend a lot of time together .

This also applies to the Ökohof Engler in Chorin

"Dogs are expressly allowed here. Unless otherwise stated, they can roam freely around our property without a leash. Our experience has shown that dog owners and guests without dogs, even those with small children, don't get in each other's way. Owners are usually overjoyed when they leave because their dog felt so comfortable. This also relaxes them." (Konni Engler)

Dog room on request

Some holiday accommodations offer only limited options for a holiday with a dog, as they offer various room types and should also provide enough space for the faithful four-legged friends . This is also the case at Landgut Schönwalde.

"Dogs are only accommodated in certain rooms, not in very small rooms or in our allergy-friendly room. Since we have had some very bad experiences with dogs, we have clear rules for dog owners." (Dr. Schwenger)

Finding a holiday farm made easy

For travelers with dogs, the following applies to bauernhofurlaub.info: Choose your desired region, use the filter to select between dogs “ allowed ,” “only allowed in the low season,” or “ only on request ,” and you’ll be one foot and one paw away on your dream vacation.

No dogs allowed – there are reasons for that

There are often already four-legged guards on farms such as the Keppel farm in Schmallenberg

"We have two dogs ourselves and a lot of other animals. Dogs aren't allowed in our home because it can lead to friction. Additionally, many of our guests' children are initially afraid of dogs. But this usually subsides within the first one or two days. We know our dogs and know they're good with children. With strange dogs, you're not always sure." (Frank Schauerte)

From cats to donkeys, everything is there

For families with small children, allergy sufferers, or people with a dog phobia, it's often important to book a farm holiday without dogs. A farm offers many opportunities to get to know our local animals better . From cats, cows, donkeys, sheep, bees, horses, and chickens to alpacas, the possibilities are endless.

Which animals are on the farms is usually shown directly on the provider’s homepage or, as on bauernhofurlaub.info , in the “Animals on the Farm” section .

Families with children who constantly say, "Please, let's get a dog. We'll take care of it," can also get their money's worth by specifically choosing a farm with a dog . Perhaps the issue will be resolved after that, or the parents will be convinced 😊.

We recommend that if you want to spend an unforgettable holiday with or without a dog , you should clarify this directly with the farms in advance and discuss all the details.

We wish you relaxing and beautiful days
