Dog-Friendly Accommodations & General Rules

Many accommodation facilities in Calasetta gladly welcome pets, especially vacation homes.

• General Rules: Regional Ordinance
Night access: The Beach Ordinance of the Sardinia Region allows dogs access to all beaches in Sardinia (even those not designated "dog beach") only from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM the following morning. Outside these hours, access is generally prohibited on free beaches not specifically designated.

• Designated Dog Beaches ("Dog Beach" or "Pet-Friendly Beaches"):
Extended hours: Coastal Municipalities have the faculty to identify and delimit specific coastal areas where animal access is permitted even during the day. These are the so-called "dog beaches" or "pet-friendly beaches." Signage: Municipal administrations must adequately mark these areas with appropriate signs indicating specific rules. Cleanliness: Municipalities must ensure the cleanliness of these areas.

• Behavioral Rules and Documentation (Valid wherever access is permitted):
Leash: Dogs must always be kept on a short leash (generally no more than 1.5 meters). Muzzle: A muzzle, rigid or soft, must be carried and worn if necessary or upon request by authorities. Waste collection: It is mandatory to immediately collect your dog's waste with appropriate bags and dispose of it correctly (taking it away if there are no dedicated bins or throwing it in designated bins). It is advisable to always carry a scoop and bags. Health and Documents: Dogs must be registered in the canine registry (i.e., microchipped). They must be clinically healthy and up-to-date with vaccinations (especially against common infectious diseases such as distemper, leptospirosis, parvovirosis). They must be treated for parasites (endo- and ectoparasites). It is advisable to always carry the animal's updated health booklet.

• Control and Responsibility:
The owner or keeper of the dog is fully responsible for their animal's behavior and must constantly supervise them to prevent them from disturbing other bathers. Water and Shade: Always ensure fresh water and a shaded area for your dog, avoiding keeping them in the sun during the hottest hours. It is useful to carry a portable bowl and a mat to protect them from the scorching sand. Swimming in the sea: Dogs can generally enter the sea in areas where access is permitted, unless specific local prohibitions apply.
