I don't need to mention how important is the presence of the animals in our lives, even during the travels. But it's a bit complicate to combine these two. Before the trip, one has to put great efforts to book a flight, accommodation, all including the special permissions and a lot of papers for a pet. Luckily, we got the mindset that's been changing nowadays in a sense that those dog-friendly beaches are in the same way important and amazing. Now we can say that Croatia as well can be the best holiday destination for our dogs. Hopefully, in the future, we will have more dog-friendly beaches in Croatia and other parts of Europe.
