Dog-friendly New Year's Eve at Hotel Bornmuehle

The challenges for dogs on New Year's Eve: a stressful New Year's Eve for our faithful companions

The upcoming New Year's Eve, characterized by fireworks and loud bangs, poses an immense challenge for our beloved four-legged friends. Dogs have extremely sensitive hearing, which is many times more pronounced than human hearing. As a result, the loud noises produced by lit rockets and firecrackers are not only unpleasant for them, but downright frightening. Stress symptoms such as excessive trembling, panting and withdrawal can indicate deeper psychological stress.

There is also a risk of panicked flight reactions, which can lead to accidents or injuries. The intense flashes of light and noises can lead to anxiety and panic attacks, which can affect not only the well-being but also the physical health of the dog. In some cases, dogs develop long-term anxiety as a result of New Year's Eve stress, which can also affect other situations in everyday life. Therefore, as a responsible dog owner, it is very important to take appropriate measures to protect the health and well-being of our four-legged friends during this stressful time.

Firecracker-free New Year's Eve with a dog: dog-friendly alternatives for the turn of the year

For dog owners who want to protect their beloved four-legged friend from the hustle and bustle of New Year's Eve, there are various options far away from busy cities. The choice ranges from hotel-friendly airport locations or quiet, private accommodation in remote areas to secluded vacation apartments in the mountains. These places allow pets to experience the turn of the year in a relaxed environment. Here are some exemplary alternatives that prove to be dog-friendly and bang-free:

• Airport hotels: opt for a hotel near the airport, where the noise from New Year's Eve fireworks is often lower.

This type of accommodation is also suitable for families with children.
• Country hotels in rural regions: Look for typical country hotels in rural regions that are surrounded by nature. These often offer a quiet environment, ideal for dogs. Find out specifically whether the hotel offers a firecracker-free New Year's Eve.

• Hotels in nature reserves: Many regions in Germany have now officially banned firecrackers in certain nature and conservation areas. Here, dog owners can enjoy the turn of the year in nature without having to worry about loud bangers. These regions include rural areas where the setting off of fireworks is prohibited.
