As the biggest Scandinavian country, Sweden is blessed with long coastal areas, thousands of lakes, vast green forests, and majestic snow-covered mountains. Not only will you be captivated by nature, but you will also be mesmerized by the friendliness of the Swedish people, both to newcomers and to pets. 

Sweden has many pet-friendly hotels, rooms, and cabins, especially within the capital so finding accommodations for you and your pet shouldn’t pose too much of a problem. Due to their famed consideration towards allergic people, a lot of restaurants, pubs or other food handlers may allow dogs at their outdoor seating, but they won't let you bring the dog inside the place of business. It's illegal to leave your dog alone for more than six hours in Sweden and for owners who work longer than that, fortunately, there are many doggy day-care services available that are both easy to locate and cost-effective. 

• All pets travelling to Sweden must be implanted with an ISO compliant microchip.
