Dogs in Spain

Planning a beach holiday but worried about your dog? No need! Spain offers a beautiful coastline with numerous dog-friendly beaches. From Murcia to the Costa del Sol, Mallorca, and Northern Spain, you’ll find plenty of options to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea with your furry friend.

Enjoying the sun and sea with your pet is becoming increasingly easy in the province of Valencia. Dog-friendly beaches are now a popular choice for those who prefer not to leave their four-legged friends behind.

Bringing your furry friends along for a new life under the Spanish sun can feel daunting, but – as any local will tell you – Spain is a country that genuinely loves its animals.

Following the recent modification of the legal status of pets in Spain (Law 17/2021, of 15 December) in which they are now considered "living beings endowed with sentience" and not simply things as they were previously, many doubts have arisen in relation to how this reform affects leasing contracts

More and more people and families are choosing to have a pet at home.

You've moved to Spain and found yourself a nice flat but there's just one problem...noisy neighbours, but not the type of noisy neighbours you might be expecting.

A big part of feeling comfortable and at ease when you move to a different country is having your pet with you. However, each country has its own laws and restrictions for animals living in buildings, and Spain is no different.

If you’re planning on moving to Spain with your dog, or even if you’re just going to spend your holidays there with your four-legged friend, you should be aware of the entry requirements for dogs to Spain.

In summer, all families are looking for a beach to spend their holidays on and, of course, the dog is part of the family. There’s no need to have your 4-legged relative stay at home – every year more and more authorities in Spain take the step and allow the dogs to play and bathe on their beaches.
