Can I Bring My Certified Service Animal To My Booked Vacation Rental?

Service Animals Are Welcome

Yes, you can bring your certified service animal to your vacation rental. In European countries, service animals are allowed at rental properties regardless of the host's pet policy and without additional fees.

What Qualifies as a Service Animal?

Service animals in Europe include:

• Guide dogs for the blind
• Hearing alert dogs for the deaf
• Seizure alert dogs
• Other recognized assistance dogs

Please note that therapy animals, such as those used for anxiety support, are not considered service animals in Europe (unlike in the US).

Are There Any Exceptions?

In rare cases, exceptions may apply if a host has a certified dangerous allergy. However, these situations are uncommon.

What Should You Do?

We recommend contacting your host in advance to inform them that you'll be bringing a certified service animal. This courtesy notice helps ensure a smooth check-in and allows the host to prepare if needed.

Summary

Your certified service animal is welcome at your vacation rental stay in Europe. Simply reach out to your host beforehand to confirm the arrangements and enjoy your trip with your furry companion.
