Essential Dog Travel Tips for Tbilisi & Georgia
🇬🇪Tbilisi, Georgia·Updated 26 June 2026
Georgia is one of the most welcoming countries in the world for dogs. The culture of warm hospitality (Georgian: 'stumarmaspindzloba') extends to guests' animals; you will be welcomed with your dog in restaurants, guesthouses, and homes in a way that feels extraordinary to Western European dog owners accustomed to restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Georgia safe for dogs?
Very safe. The main risk is street dog encounters in less central areas; keep your dog on-leash in the evenings in quieter residential streets. The street dog vaccination programme means bite risk is lower than you might expect. Ticks are present in the Caucasus mountains in spring/summer; use tick prevention before hiking.
How does Georgia compare to other Caucasus destinations for dog travel?
Georgia is significantly the most dog-friendly Caucasus destination. Armenia (Yerevan) is also welcoming but has a smaller tourist infrastructure. Azerbaijan (Baku) is less dog-tolerant. Georgia also has the best hiking and natural landscape in the region for active dog travel.
