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 Europe. Service animals are allowed regardless of a property's pet policy and without additional fees.

What qualifies as a service animal in Europe?

In Europe, the following are recognized as 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 used for anxiety or emotional support, are not considered service animals in Europe, unlike in the United States.

Are there any exceptions?

In rare cases, exceptions may apply. A host with a certified dangerous allergy does not have to accept a service animal. We recommend contacting your host in advance to confirm their accommodation of your service animal and to discuss any specific requirements.

What should I do before booking?

Reach out to your host before finalizing your reservation to inform them about your certified service animal. This proactive communication helps ensure a smooth stay and allows the host to prepare accordingly.

We hope this helps you find the perfect vacation rental for you and your service animal.
