    Taking a dog on Camino

    “No judgement”, but you obviously did not read my post.

    Walking the Camino with a dog - Experiences?

    @MacMac I’m also hoping to go in 2023, probably around May, with my border collie, most likely the Portuguès Costa route and only the final 100km. I’m intending to do about 10km a day - more for my capacity than my dog’s - with rest days when needed. I’m also intending to come with my campervan...

    Taking a dog on Camino

    I had a vague fantasy about finding a dog on my travels who just took to me and me to her/him and we’d adopt each other. Not while doing the Camino, just on my travels through Spain. Then Koko appeared in my life in a different way but similarly coincidental; it just happened, unplanned by me...

    Taking a dog on Camino

    What a wonderful story. What’s his/her name? And where do you live? How was it taking her/him home?

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Thanks. I wouldn’t consider doing it without the van. Or the dog. Or the friend. Or the manageable short days. It needs to be right for all of us. 😊

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Thanks for your comment, advisory and encouraging. Dogs have to be microchipped and wear a tag in the UK too, so that’s already covered.

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Thanks for sharing. May I ask why you chose to walk with your cat… in a carrier? Some kind of personal challenge… or difficulties finding anyone to cat-sit? 😻 I have a cat too, but he’s very determinedly a stay-local/at home boy. He’d hate it - didn’t even want to check out my campervan. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Thanks for the supportive comment. From what I’ve seen, my girl loves the sun. Even with shade available she was often sunbathing this summer in the UK when we had pretty extreme temperatures, but collies have a double coat which works to regulate temperature, both hot and cold. I’ll be watching...

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Thank you. That’s really good practical advice. We use a harness already, so that’s not going to be an issue. 👍

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Thanks. I’ll be driving through France to spend time in Spain, so that’s good to know. I have a few friends dotted around Spain so hoping they’ll be able to recommend a local vet. @Helen Robinson, I’m intending to do the Portuguès Coastal, from either Vigo or Baiona. But anyway, feel free to...

    Do you know which route she’s planning to do? It might be good to share ideas etc.

    Taking a dog on Camino

    I’m not the first by a long shot. Check out blogs and podcasts of people who’ve done it. I’m meeting one tomorrow, also with two border collies.

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Thanks so much for your supportive comments. I’m partway through reading your blog but not much free time just now. Busy planning our first (non-Camino) trip to Spain in just over a week.

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Really helpful input. Thanks. Muchas gracias! 😊

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Yes, I’m aware of them. I’m actually meeting a woman tomorrow who’s done it with two border collies so will find out best way to deal with that. Thanks.

    Taking a dog on Camino

    They must be microchipped in the UK too. She is. And other things like vaccinations and rabies jab. But thanks for the warning.

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Yes, I’m up to date on the changes. Thanks. We’re going in just over a week so I’ve gone through the whole (bloody expensive!) process. In fact I plan to get an EU pet passport while we’re in Spain this time for any future trips.

    Taking a dog on Camino

    Thank you. Useful things to consider. Maybe I need a doggie umbrella? 🐕 ☔️ 😂

    Thanks. I’ll have a read.

    Taking a dog on Camino

    I’m not sure you read my post. I said we’ll be sleeping in my campervan. So accommodation isn’t an issue.
