Information about Holland

Hi everibody,
I'm Italian and next week we'll be in Nederland for a short holiday; we now almost well your country as we went there many times in the past, but now it's the first time we bring our dog with us.
I know that dogs are well accepted almost everywhere, but I' don't know which are the laws, if it's compulsory to wear the muzzle, and if on the beach it's possible to go in this period and so on.
Thank you very much for your answers.
Bye
Laura

Hi Laura,

Every year we go on holiday to Italy with our dogs ...

But to answer your questions, they don't have to wear the muzzle, (as long as they don't bite) and you can take them with you to de beach, almost everywhere in this time of the year, but not everywhere, i don't no where you will be staying but near Zandvoort you have an aria called Parnasia where you can bring your dogs with you on the beach the whole year.

In most restaurant's it's oke to bring your dog as long is it can behave him or herself.

I hope you and your dogs will have a great time in Holland,

Willy

Hi Laura,

A few answers:

In our law onle some breeds (and agressive dogs) have to wear muzzle. All dogs with normal behaviour don't need a muzzle.

My experience is that dogs are welcom in a lot of common restaurants. But all kind of exclsusive, famous or expensive places it is not alowwed.

Also not in a lot of shops and of course musea

But you always can see this on the sign on the door: forbidden for dogs.

Also dogs are not alowwed in most of taxi's and some publique buscompany's.

And for all Dutch beaches I send you a schedule.

I wish you and your dog nice hollidays!!

Greetings,
Mijke
