💡 Quick Tips

• 1.Swiss dog rules: leash in all public streets and parks (unless designated off-leash). Muzzle + half-fare ticket on all public transport. These rules are enforced.
• 2.Zurich is one of the world's most expensive cities. Budget CHF 80–120 per day for accommodation, transport, food, and dog costs.
• 3.The ZVV transport day pass covers all trams, buses, boats, and S-Bahn within the Zurich transport zone. Add a half-fare dog ticket when needed.
• 4.Many Zurich shops allow dogs. Look for a dog sticker on the door. The Globus department store on Bahnhofstrasse does not allow dogs.
• 5.Swiss pet insurance is not required for tourists but is strongly recommended given the high veterinary costs in Switzerland.
