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

Yes, you can bring your certified service animal to your vacation rental in European countries. Service animals are allowed regardless of a property's pet policy and without additional fees.

What Are Service Animals?

In Europe, the following are considered service animals:

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

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

Are There Any Exceptions?

In rare cases, hosts with certified dangerous allergies may not be required to accept service animals for health and safety reasons. We recommend contacting your host in advance to confirm they can accommodate your service animal and to discuss any specific needs.

What Should I Do Before My Stay?

To ensure a smooth experience, reach out to your host before booking or after confirmation to inform them about your certified service animal. This allows them to prepare and confirm that your animal is welcome at the property.

We hope this helps you find the perfect stay with your service animal companion!
