Traveling with a pet – how to prepare for a vacation with an animal?

More and more people cannot imagine a holiday without their dog or cat. They are a family member, a companion of everyday life, and the best buddy for long walks or lazy afternoons. It's no wonder that pet owners increasingly choose pet-friendly hotels, looking for places where shared relaxation will be a pleasure – not a logistical challenge.

If you are planning a holiday in nature and looking for a destination that will please both you and your pet, consider the Mazury region. It perfectly combines space, greenery, access to water, and walking paths – ideal conditions for joint relaxation. In this article, we suggest how to prepare for a trip with your pet, what to pay attention to, and how to find a place where you will both truly feel comfortable.

Is it worth taking your pet on vacation?

This is a question many people ask themselves – and rightly so. Because although traveling with a pet can be special, it is not always the best solution. Before deciding to take your pet, consider:

  • your pet's temperament and health – some animals love new places, others get stressed by changes in environment.
  • the length and mode of travel – a several-hour car ride is quite different from traveling by plane or train.
  • conditions at the destination – access to greenery, possibility of walks, shade, cool water, secure area.

If you find that your dog or cat handles trips well and will feel good away from home – go ahead. A well-prepared trip can be an adventure that brings joy to both you and your pet.

What to take with you on the trip?

To make your holiday with your pet truly successful, it is worth preparing properly. Here are a few items that should be in your luggage:

  • Food and bowls, preferably ones your pet already knows – changing the location is already enough variety.
  • Leash and harness, and for more active dogs also a longer lead – you can walk safely around the hotel area but it’s always good to have control.
  • Bed or blanket that smells like home – this will help your pet feel comfortable faster in a new place.
  • Health record with current vaccinations, especially if you plan to use local attractions.
  • Bags and a towel, especially if your dog loves water – and there is plenty of that in Mazury!

Relaxation at Mikołajki Resort & SPA with your pet

At our hotel, pets are welcome. Guests arriving with their pets can expect comfortable conditions both for themselves and their animals. Rooms are spacious and functional, with access to green areas and paths starting literally at the doorstep. You can calmly plan morning outings, afternoon hikes, or exploring the local surroundings together.

Thanks to the natural environment, the dog has plenty of space to explore, and you can enjoy the peace, fresh air, and lake views. In the evening, you can relax together – on the beach, on the terrace, or simply in the room. Such a shared rhythm, without rush, without having to look for a dog park, without separation, is something our guests appreciate. An additional fee of 80 PLN per night applies.

What to do with your dog nearby?

Mikołajki and the surrounding area are not only about lakes. It’s also a great place for shared adventures:

  • Walk along the shore of Lake Kuchenka, whose banks are surrounded by green areas.
  • Bike trips with your dog – if your pet likes to accompany you by bike, you can rent equipment locally.
  • Boat trips on the lake – some cruises allow dogs on board.
  • Visiting Boyen Fortress in Giżycko – spacious grounds with history in the background, perfect for joint sightseeing.
  • Exploring Mazurian trails and educational paths – friendly not only to people but also to pets.

Every day can look different – active or relaxed. The choice is yours.
