Preparing for international travel with your dog one sniff at a time.
Coco Goes to Italy is a real-life documentation of thoughtful, preparation-first international dog travel, created to help pet parents navigate everything from short trips to extended stays abroad with clarity, calm, and confidence.
What began as preparation for an extended stay in Italy quickly became something deeper: an exploration of how dogs experience travel through their eyes, nose, and paws and how intentional planning can transform unfamiliar environments into spaces of comfort, safety, and emotional ease.
To support that journey, the site is organized around two core pillars:
What It Takes to Travel Internationally
This pillar focuses on preparation, requirements, and decision-making before departure including training, veterinary planning, documentation, airline considerations, packing, and timelines. It reflects the belief that calm travel starts long before the day of the flight.
Life on the Ground
This pillar documents daily life once you arrive routines, adjustments, local rules, transportation, climate considerations, and the small decisions that shape how a dog experiences a new place. It captures the lived reality of traveling slowly and responsibly with a dog abroad.
Every step of Coco’s journey is shared from real experience, not theory updated as things change, researched when questions arise, and grounded in what actually works.
Because international travel with your dog isn’t about doing more.
It’s about preparing better.
