While you enjoy the beach, pools, and activities, Canisapiens provides a dedicated leisure and well-being space where dogs are looked after in optimal conditions.

In this guide, you’ll learn how our high-season pet solution works, how to plan your booking, and what to do on site while your four-legged friend is in expert hands nearby.

How to plan your high-season dog holidays with Canisapiens

Peak summer fills quickly, so a little advance planning goes a long way. While specific arrangements are handled directly with Canisapiens, these steps will help you organize a smooth trip:

Check dates and availability early
- High season is July–August, when dogs are not accepted on site. Reserve your dog’s place at Canisapiens in advance for the same dates as your Camping Les Medes stay.
Contact Canisapiens via their website
- Visit the Canisapiens website to learn more about their leisure and well-being space for dogs and to organize care directly with the facility in Ventalló.
Plan drop-off and pick-up around your arrival/departure
- Bungalow check-in is from 16:00 and check-out by 10:00.
- Guests using camping plots may arrive and depart within our regular reception hours.
- Coordinate dog care timings so your travel day stays relaxed.
Prepare your dog’s essentials
- Bring identification, collar/harness, lead, any regular food, and medications your pet needs.
- Keep vet and vaccination records handy if requested. (This is common best practice for pet-care facilities.)
Think about daily rhythm and transport
- Plan the best times for visiting your dog if you intend to check in with them, and map your preferred route to Ventalló.
Stay flexible and comfortable
- In hot weather, schedule dog handovers during cooler hours and bring water for the journey.
