  Croatia slightly more challenging compared to your average European country. Nevertheless, we’d still recommend giving it a try—just be prepared for potential bus hurdles.

  Finding accommodations was a breeze, and we couldn’t help but notice plenty of happy, healthy dogs out walking with their owners all around. There are lots of signs that say no dogs allowed, but no one seems to actually care.
  We had the opportunity to work with fantastic and affordable vets when my Maltese got sick.
  As for restaurants and cafes, it was a mixed bag—some welcomed dogs with open arms, while others didn’t.

  The main reason we’ve ranked this experience a little below average is due to transportation issues. Train transit was decent, but options are limited in Croatia. With bus systems, it usually depends on individual drivers whether they’re willing to accept a dog on board. At times, everything went smoothly but on other occasions, the bus driver would refuse, leaving us stranded. This makes

  Croatians like dogs, so I like coming here with my dog. It is not like Switzerland where dogs are allowed to go pretty much everywhere because there are lots of places that say no dogs allowed. That doesn’t really seem to matter much and everyone brings their dogs on the beach and at the ferry anyways. I’m not sure, but maybe they care more during peak tourist season. Dogs can go on the ferries from Split to Dubrovnik, so that’s a bonus, but it is a little tricky on the long-distance busses. They can go on the busses in the city. With the ride shares, I had to ask ahead if they were okay with a dog. Most said yes, but they had to sit on the floor not on the seat. bars allow dogs but restaurants don’t at least not inside, I think it is forbidden by law (not sure) . Dogs are allowed in shopping centers but only in hallways, they can’t enter stores, they are allowed in some banks but not all, also not allowed in any government offices.

  Croatia is very dog friendly, when our got too old to be left at the pet hotel we only made car trips to Croatia. There is a variety of dog friendly hotels and it usually never was a problem to bring them somewhere ( we had two big dogs)
