Holidays with your dog on a farm: space, meadow and short distances

For dogs, a farm is almost the best destination imaginable. Instead of a sidewalk, there's a meadow; instead of an elevator, the front door; and the path to the first walk is as short as the hallway. 214 of the 251 farms are in quiet locations, and on 204 of them, a hiking trail starts right at the farm.

And then there's what dogs are most interested in: other animals. Cats live on 188 of these farms, chickens on 164, and cows on 116. And 101 farms have their own farm dog, who will usually greet your four-legged friend right at the car.

Allowed, on request, or dog farm: the difference

Dogs allowed

The 251 farms listed on this page generally welcome dogs. You don't need to ask permission beforehand; simply indicate that you'll be bringing a dog when booking. Some farms have rules regarding leashes, exercise, or specific areas, which you can clarify at the same time.

Dogs allowed on request

Another 270 establishments decide individually, often depending on the number, size, and temperament of the dog. This isn't a refusal, but rather a consideration for the farm animals and other guests. A brief, specific inquiry often leads to a positive response. You can find the selection under "Dogs on Request ."

Dog farm

A special award for farms with exceptional dog-friendly facilities, such as fenced-in runs or dog showers. So far, four farms have received this certification, making it a very small, select group. You can find them under "Dog Farm" .

Over 500 farms in total.

If you combine both lists – the permitted and the on-demand lists – you'll find more than 500 businesses. Therefore, if you're looking in a specific region, it's always worth checking the on-demand list as well. In some areas, the selection there is even better.

Zieglinde recounted

I like dogs; they're almost as curious as I am. And two figures really speak in their favor: 24 of the 50 top farm awards in 2026 went to farms where dogs are welcome. That's almost half, even though it's only a quarter of all farms.

And another tip from personal experience: 101 of these farms have a farm dog. It knows every nook and cranny, every shortcut, and every spot where you can find sausage. So your dog will have a tour guide from day one.

The equipment in numbers

To help you know what to expect for you and your dog, we've counted all 251 farms on this page:

Things you should pay attention to before booking

Clarify the surcharge

115 of the 251 farms list an extra charge for dogs, while eleven explicitly waive it. You can see the exact amount directly on the respective farm's page in the search results. Where no information is provided, it's worth asking when you inquire, so there are no surprises upon departure.

Ask after the exit

Whether there's a fenced-in meadow and where dogs are allowed to run free isn't shown in the filters, but it makes the biggest difference on vacation. The hosts are happy to answer these questions in detail because they know their property.

Consideration for the farm animals

Working farms are home to farm animals, and many farms have pastures within walking distance. When hiking, dogs must be kept on a leash as soon as grazing livestock is nearby. This protects both animals and is often mandatory on alpine trails anyway.

Bring something familiar

A familiar bed, usual food, and favorite toy will help with settling in. Many shelters provide bowls, but the familiar scent is more calming. A vaccination certificate and proof of liability insurance should also be packed.

Where dogs are welcome on the farm

The Alpine region accounts for the largest share, led by Salzburg. The high proportion in South Tyrol and Trentino is particularly striking, where dogs are a common sight on many farms.

There is a separate overview of dog-friendly farms for a total of 48 regions, and for another 53 under "Dogs on request" . If your desired region is not listed here, it's worth taking a look at the second list.

Frequently asked questions about holidays with dogs on farms

This varies from farm to farm and is listed individually for each establishment; you'll see it directly in the search results. 115 of the farms on this page list a surcharge, while eleven explicitly waive it. Where nothing is mentioned, ask when you inquire. The additional fee usually covers the extra cleaning.

Dogs are generally welcome at the farms listed on this page; simply mention them when booking. For dogs on request , the farm decides individually, often depending on the number, size, and temperament of the animals. This applies to an additional 270 farms and frequently results in a positive response. The "Dog Farm" designation is a special award for farms with exceptional facilities for dogs; currently, four farms hold this distinction.

On the farm itself, yes, often, but it depends on the terrain and the farm animals. As soon as there are grazing cattle nearby, the dog must be kept on a leash; this is usually also mandatory on alpine trails. Whether there is a fenced meadow isn't indicated in the filters, so this is the most important question to ask when making an inquiry. The hosts know their property and will tell you exactly where your dog is allowed to run free.

Very good indeed. 217 of the 251 farms are family-friendly , 188 have a playground , and 106 have a petting zoo . Children and dogs both want the same thing: to be outdoors and have fun. Check with the farm to see if the petting zoo and dogs are allowed at the same time, as some farms keep the areas separate.

Yes, most are open year-round. 105 farms offer tobogganing , and 98 are located near ski resorts . Winter is especially lovely for dogs on the farm because it's less crowded, and snow is, as everyone knows, the best toy. Remember to bring paw protection for road salt and a towel for when you get back.

Many farms allow dogs, but mention it beforehand. One dog and three dogs make a difference to the hosts, especially if there are farm animals and other guests. When inquiring, specify the number, size, and whether your dogs have experience with farm animals. If you're traveling with multiple dogs, the "Dogs on Request" list is also useful, as decisions there are made on a case-by-case basis anyway.

Generally, yes, that's the whole point. 177 of these farms rent out holiday apartments with their own kitchens , so you'll have complete privacy anyway. Individual areas like bedrooms, dining rooms, or wellness areas are sometimes exceptions. Just ask, and you'll know from day one.
