If you too are thinking of leaving with your trusted friend and heading to the sea, know that there are beaches where you can bring your dog and spend carefree days of relaxation, games and salt baths together.
Before leaving, make sure that his health card is in order, that he has had the necessary vaccinations, prepare a leash, muzzle and a good supply of bags to collect his droppings and ask your veterinarian for advice on the possibility of bringing a sunscreen for him too; some dogs in fact have sensitive skin and would risk burns or even erythema.
After these preliminary procedures you are ready for the vacation! And if you still don't know where to go, below we recommend some of the most pet-friendly Italian beaches.
