Traveling with a dog in Europe (by train)

Greetings!

I noticed that there is a lack of practical information on the internet about travelling with a dog when you don't own a car. There are lots of fancy photos, but what does it really entail to travel with a dog and rely on public transport? What are the specific logistical and financial aspects? Is Czech republic a dog-friendly country? (Spoiler: yes!) That’s why I started the blog HerTravelDog.

This blog is a knowledge base with information to make it easier to travel eco-friendly and stress-free with a dog through Europe. I share my personal experiences and discoveries, my mistakes and learnings.

This blog offers primarily content for dog owners, but it might also contain some interesting bits for fellow sensitive adventurers and open-minded individualists travelling in Europe!
