In this article

You can bring your dog along to glamping stays, treehouses, cabins and other unique accommodations across Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Most stays happily welcome dogs without extra hassle, though the rules vary from place to place. Below you will find the best types of stays, practical packing tips, and answers to the questions you are bound to have before booking.

Bringing your dog on holiday means skipping the kennel and sharing the whole nature experience together.

4 types of unique stays where your dog is welcome

Whether you prefer comfort or simplicity, there is a type of stay that suits you both.

How to find the right stay for you and your dog

Always read the stay's pet policy before booking. Some places set a limit on the number or size of dogs allowed.

Ask about fencing, distance to busy roads and good walking trails nearby.

Check whether there is an extra fee for bringing a dog. Most stays in Scandinavia allow dogs for free, though some charge a small deposit.

Pack right for your dog's first night away

Bring your dog's own blanket and toys. The familiar smell makes a night in new surroundings much easier. Also pack waste bags, food, treats, a leash and any medication your dog needs.

Season by season with your dog in nature

In winter your dog needs extra warmth if you are staying in an uninsulated cabin or tent. In spring, check for ticks after every walk. In summer, shade and water for cooling down are essential, and in autumn keep an eye out for slippery trails and hidden branches.

Why a unique stay is even better with a dog

A weekend in nature gives you both more than an ordinary dog walk. You grow closer when you sleep under the stars or wake up to birdsong. Book a unique stay in Scandinavia, where your dog is just as welcome as you are.

Happy travels! Best, Magnus 🐾👋
