Law and common sense
Travelling we come in touch with different realities. In order to avoid trouble, it is best to have a general idea of the rules governing pet ownership.

IF YOUR DOG IS LOST, LOOK FOR HIM/HER AT THE NEAREST DOGPOUND
medaglietteA new place, unknown roads, a park visited only once, and while you are on holiday, all of a sudden, your dog is lost. If it happens, the first place to look for him/her is the nearest dog pound.

Usually dogs that are caught are taken to a sanitary dog pound, where health tests are performed and the operators check if they have an owner.

A national dog register exists, which you can access through the link below:

By entering the 15-digit code of the microchip or tattoo, one can recall the registration of a lost dog and identify his/her owner.

Though there is no law requiring it, it is best, in addition to registering your dog, to tie a small nametag to your dog's collar (see picture above), with his/her name and your telephone number - a mobile phone would be best - to contact you. If your dog is lost, anyone finding it can easily call you and quickly contact you.

When travelling in places where you are not well acquainted with the facilities concerned with stray animals, this simple action may be very useful to find and cuddle your beloved pet again as soon as possible.
