The information you actually need.
Planning walks
- Identify a green area for morning and evening walks.
- Avoid the hottest hours and busiest roads.
- Carry water, bags and a lead, and check local dog-area rules.

Public transport with a dog
- ATM applies rules on leads, muzzles and tickets; check them before departure.
- Walking is often easier than the metro for short journeys.
- Book a pet-friendly taxi in advance for larger dogs.
Allow time for breaks and avoid tight connections.
Before booking
- Always tell the property that you are travelling with a dog.
