🐾 Traveling with Pets in 2025: Destinations & Tips for a Pawsome Journey
I have two dogs at home.
And every time I plan a trip, the first thought that crosses my mind is,
“What about my babies?”
If you've ever felt guilty about leaving your pet behind, you're not alone.
The good news? In 2025, more cities, hotels, and airlines are becoming truly pet-friendly — making it easier than ever to bring your furry companion along.
But even with growing options, it can still be hard to figure out where to go and what to prepare.
That’s why I’ve gathered a list of top pet-friendly destinations around the world, plus some helpful tips for a smooth and joyful journey.
🏖️ 1. Bali, Indonesia – Morning Walks by the Waves
Bali’s relaxed vibe extends to pets too!
Many beaches — especially Sanur Beach — are perfect for early walks with your dog, and numerous cafés allow pets in their outdoor seating areas.
Tip: Make sure to bring proof of rabies vaccination and be ready for arrival quarantine checks.
🚆 2. Train Travel in Europe – Pet Paradise on Rails
Trains in Germany (DB) and Austria (ÖBB) welcome pets:
Small dogs ride free, and large dogs can board at a discounted fare.
You can hop from city to city, experiencing Europe with your four-legged friend.
Tip: Muzzles are required for large dogs. Always double-check each route’s pet policy.
🏨 3. Banff, Canada – Nature and Wellness for You and Your Pet
Canada’s Banff National Park offers designated trails and camping spots where pets are allowed.
Some accommodations even offer pet spa services — yes, really!
Recommended Stay: Fairmont Banff Springs (look for their pet-friendly room options)
🍰 4. Tokyo, Japan – A City That Caters to Cats
Tokyo is a dreamland for cat lovers, with cat cafés, pet-friendly hotels, and even pet-themed trains like the new WanWan Train (for dogs, too!).
Some hotels allow cats to stay in-room with you in style and comfort.
Tip: Japan has strict entry requirements for animals — prepare all documents well in advance.

✨ My Thoughts
Traveling is always better with company — especially the kind that wags its tail or purrs on your lap.
In 2025, take the leap and create memories with your pets instead of without them.
Personally, one of my biggest dreams is to ride a scenic European train with my dogs by my side, watching the world roll by together.
