As known, unfortunately our dogs are not welcome anywhere.
Therefore, it is advisable to know in advance where and how to bring our dogs in Salento without taking the risk of any issues and problems.
Regarding beaches, a seaside ordinance, which is valid for the entire Puglia region, provides all necessary information to allow holidays with animals.
It is stated that there is a prohibition on bringing dogs even on a leash and muzzle in areas not specifically authorized.
Just rescue dogs and guide dogs for vision impaired people are everywhere ever welcome.
Even in the authorized areas, dogs must be on a leash and with a regular health certificate, no older than six months.
Case by case, each bathing establishment may freely regulate the access in an independent way, applying own regulations, guidelines and permits.
Of course and in any case, it is strictly recommended to take the dogs ever in order with the vaccinations, on a leash and under the umbrella.
Dogs owners have to take care of it and of the local area also, to maintain its cleanliness, without forgetting that they remain in any case fully legal responsible for the animals, according to Article #2052 of the Italian Civil Code.
