Taking your dog on vacation isn't easy. To help doggie owners go on vacation calmly, Sophie Morche launched the emmenetonchien.com platform, hosted by Bic, in Montpellier (Hérault).

On this site, frequented by around 100,000 visitors each month, the owners, the Wouafeur's, share the places they have tested (and approved) with their dog. Places where dogs and their owners are "really welcome," notes Sophie Morche.

"We don't have to apologize for coming on vacation with our whole family"

"Five years ago, I adopted my dog, Musher," confides this Hérault company manager. And going on vacation with her was quite natural for me. But I quickly realized that it could be a real pain! Identifying dog friendly places is not so simple. And often, we do not really know what will be the reception on site. You can very well arrive in an establishment that accepts dogs, and on site, it is funny soup. My dog ​​is a full member of my family. We are about 18 million in the same case, and we do not have to apologize for coming on vacation with all his family! "

For each establishment, future tourists can know in advance how many dogs are accepted, what sizes, and what services they reserve for doggies. "A bowl, a carpet ... If you are camping, will you have the right to eat at a restaurant? If it is a gîte, is there an enclosed garden? Can you keep your pet on site? “, Details Sophie Morche.

Activities ... reserved for dogs!

Because, deplores the entrepreneur from Hérault, a simple bowl is not so common in many establishments. "It seems simple enough to set up, but with some hosts, it does not exist! "Continues Sophie Morche, who has set up a label, Qualidog, which classifies the places according to the reception reserved for dogs. With notes ranging from 1 to 4 truffles. Like the stars for hotels.

The platform also references activities where dogs are greeted with a smile: tourist visits, physical activities ... And also identifies places where the animal has activities that are completely reserved for it, such as agility sessions or ... massages! And for places to pick up but who only want to improve, Emmenetonchien.com also offers to help tourism professionals to identify and meet the expectations of an owner and his dog.
