Der Sommer steht in den Startlöchern und bei vielen läuft die Urlaubsplanung schon in vollen Zügen. Ein immer wieder gern geplanter Urlaub? Der Strandurlaub mit Hund!
Damit Dein nächster Urlaub mit Hund am Meer ein voller Erfolg wird, verraten wir Dir, was Du beachten solltest und über welche Regeln Du Dich vorab unbedingt informieren solltest.
Was muss ich mit Hund am Strand beachten?
Du willst mit Deinem Hund zum ersten Mal einen Strand besuchen? Super! Bevor Ihr Euch auf den Weg macht, ist es wichtig, sich darüber zu informieren, auf was Du achten musst. Wir haben Dir die wichtigsten Regeln und Punkte zusammengefasst:
- Halt Dich an die Hundehalter-Netiquette: Lass Deinen Hund nicht ungefragt zu anderen Hunden laufen, sammele Hundehaufen auf und entsorge sie entsprechend, lass Deinen Hund nicht ohne zuverlässigen Rückruf von der Leine und achte bei der Verwendung von Spielzeug darauf, keine Konflikte zwischen Hunden zu verursachen. Im Grunde gelten hier also dieselben Regeln wie bei allen Spaziergängen!
- Nimm Rücksicht auf andere Badende und Strandbesucher. Gerade an Badestränden, die Hunde erlauben ist Rücksicht geboten, damit das auch so bleibt. Da nicht Jeder Hunde mag und manch einer sogar Angst vor Hunden hat, solltest Du Deinen Hund sich niemals ungefragt fremden Leuten nähern lassen. Kinderspielzeug, Essen oder Bälle gehören für viele Urlauber in die Strandtasche und können für Hunde verführerisch sein – behalte Deinen Hund also immer im Auge und halte Ihn vom Eigentum anderer fern. Besondere Vorsicht ist auch bei Kindern geboten, gerade wenn diese keine Hunde kennen oder Dein Hund keine Kinder kann es hier schnell zu Unfällen kommen, denk deshalb daran, dass Du für die Sicherheit und das Verhalten Deines Hundes die Verantwortung trägst!
- Nimm ausreichend Trinkwasser für Deinen Hund mit, wenn Du Salzwasserstrände besuchst. Gerade bei langen Strandtagen solltest Du zusätzlich auch ausreichend Futter und Leckerchen mitbringen, vermeide dabei aber große Mahlzeiten zu füttern, da sich bei anschließendem Toben der Magen verdrehen kann. Achte außerdem darauf, Deinem Hund nur Leckerchen/Futter zu geben, wenn keine anderen Hunde in der Nähe sind, um mögliche Konflikte durch Futterneid zu vermeiden.
- Denk an eine Reiseapotheke (für Dich und Deinen Hund)! Im Sand verstecken sich leider öfter Glasscherben, spitze Steine oder Muscheln, an denen Ihr euch verletzen könnt. Erste-Hilfe und Wundreinigung sind hier wichtig, um Entzündungen vorzubeugen.
Are dogs allowed on the beach?
Here applies:Always research and follow the local rules.If you can't find any reliable information online, there should normally be signs on every beach stating whether dogs are allowed or not. If there is no corresponding sign, this does not mean that dogs are automatically prohibited. Ask the lifeguards/bathing attendants (without a dog) or ask the local tourist information office.
In general, dogs are not allowed on beaches during the summer season - especially if there are dog beaches nearby.
When are dogs allowed on the beach?
It is difficult to give a general answer to this question, as the regulations can vary depending on the country, region or city. As a rough guide, however, you can remember the following:Dogs are not allowed on most beaches from April to the end of September, sometimes even at the end of October.In many places, however, there are special Dog beaches where dogs are allowed all year round and the dogs can move freely.
Should dogs be showered after the sea?
Yes!Even if salt water is not fundamentally harmful or dangerous for the dog's coat or skin,the salt contained in combination with the sand can rub on the skin like sandpaper after drying and thus lead to unpleasant irritation. For this reason, it is important to shower your dog with fresh water and remove sand and dirt with a brush.
