Visitar la isla de Tabarca con tu fiel compañero canino puede ser una experiencia maravillosa tanto para ti como para tu mascota. Sin embargo, es importante planificar con anticipación para asegurarte de que el viaje sea seguro y placentero para ambos. Aquí te ofrecemos una guía detallada sobre cómo hacerlo.

Verify Pet Policy

Antes de planificar tu viaje, es crucial verificar las políticas de mascotas para el transporte y el alojamiento:

1. 1. Maritime Transport: Contact the ferry companies that operate routes to Tabarca from Santa Pola, Alicante or Torrevieja. Ask about their policies regarding bringing dogs. Some companies allow pets on board, but may have restrictions on dog size or require them to travel in designated areas.
   2. Accommodation in Tabarca: If you plan to spend the night on the island, make sure your hotel or accommodation is pet friendly. Not all establishments accept dogs, so it is important to confirm this in advance.

      2. Vet Visit: Make sure your dog is up to date on his vaccinations and consider a visit to the vet before the trip for a general check-up.
      3. Identification: Your dog must have a microchip and an identification tag with your contact information.
