If you have been wondering whether it is really possible to travel with a dog properly — not just around your area, but far beyond your home country — this podcast is for you.

We joined a podcast hosted by Jozef Terem, founder of Dobrodruh.sk, and spoke openly about what traveling with a dog looks like in real life — from our first easy trips around Europe to Paraguay, Bolivia, and the often underestimated challenge of returning to the EU.

The good news is that even though the conversation is in Slovak, the video also includes English, German, Spanish, and French subtitles. That makes it easy to share with friends or readers abroad.

What you will learn about traveling with a dog in this podcast

In the episode, we talk about topics that matter to almost anyone who wants to start traveling with a dog a bit more seriously and go farther than short nearby trips.

We talk, for example, about:

  • why traveling with a dog within the EU is the easiest place to start,
  • what changes when you travel with a dog outside the EU,
  • why returning to the EU is often more complicated than leaving,
  • when a rabies antibody titer test is needed,
  • why the validity of a rabies vaccine may not be treated the same way inside and outside the EU,
  • how air travel with a dog works in the cabin and in the cargo hold,
  • why low-cost airlines almost never accept dogs,
  • how to book a flight with a dog and what to check before paying,
  • why veterinary requirements and flight bookings need to be timed in the right order,
  • what traveling with a dog in Latin America is really like,
  • what traveling with a dog genuinely gives you, and what it limits,
  • and how our tool BorderCooler® helps travelers quickly understand the requirements for a specific route with a dog.

This podcast is a good fit for people who want to start traveling with a dog, are planning their first flight, or want to better understand why returning to the EU can be such an important topic. If you are looking for a realistic and practical perspective on traveling with a dog in Europe and beyond, this conversation gives you a strong foundation and can help you avoid mistakes that many people make when planning their trip.
