How TrustPaws verifies a hotel

A TrustPaws badge means we’ve checked more than a “pets allowed” box. For every certified hotel, we verify:

  • The real pet policy and any fees — exactly what you’ll pay, with no surprises at check-in.
  • Which room types pets can actually stay in.
  • The welcome amenities genuinely provided — beds, bowls, treats, kits.
  • How genuinely the staff and grounds are set up for animals.

If a hotel hasn’t met the standard, it isn’t certified — simple as that.

Getting around Milan with a dog

On ATM’s metro, trams and buses, small and medium dogs travel leashed with a muzzle per ATM’s rules (worn when the driver or passengers ask), one dog per vehicle, with a dog ticket at the current fare; small dogs or cats in a carrier up to 50 cm travel free at any time. Time bands apply to dogs outside carriers — roughly service start to 7:30, 9:30–17:30, and 20:30 to close — and dogs are carried on escalators. Guide dogs travel free with no restrictions. Mainline stations (Centrale, Garibaldi) follow national rail pet rules for onward trips — including the regional trains to Lake Como and Lake Garda.

Best parks & dog areas in Milan

Parco Sempione behind the castle is the classic: lawns, shade and fenced dog areas where city dogs socialise off-lead. The Giardini Montanelli (Porta Venezia) add a second central option; CityLife’s modern park and Parco Lambro’s meadows serve the north and east with generous aree cani. Leashes are required outside the fenced areas citywide, and summer walking is best before 10:00 — Milan’s pavements cook. For a green day trip, the lake towns are an hour by train.
