Breckenridge Dog Traveling Etiquette
Typically, our furry friends make the best traveling companions. However, you should leave them with a dog sitter if they get anxious when away from home, as this can be stressful for them and also affect your ability to enjoy the trip. Traveling with them can also be difficult, but only if you don't plan accordingly. This section discusses tips and guidelines for traveling to Breckenridge with your dog to ensure you both have a safe and enjoyable trip.
1. Adhere to Breck’s leash laws. The Breck community leash laws require that dogs be kept on a leash not over 6 feet long and under the control of a competent person when off the owner’s property.
2. Make reservations for your dog. When booking your hotel, research the dog-friendly ones and contact them to inquire about extra charges incurred for your dog. Never try to sneak your canine into a hotel with pet restriction policies, as it may lead to being kicked out or fined.
3. Ensure your dog is properly identified. Not everyone knows your dog. This makes it difficult to locate them if they are out of your vicinity. Make sure your dog has proper identification, such as a microchip or collar with an ID tag. This increases the chances of finding your dog if they stray from you during the trip.
4. Prepare for your dog's needs: Pack all your dog's essentials, including water, food, and medications if they take any. This will ensure your dog is comfortable during the trip. Moreover, please inquire with the hotels you'll be staying at about the dog treats they offer in case your dog might be allergic to some of them.
