Dogs at Andanças
Our four-legged friends are once more welcome at Andanças. However, we recommend each owner to consider the well-being of the dog before deciding to bring it to the festival. Temperatures can be very high at the Barragem de Póvoa e Meadas in August. Not only the heat can be dangerous but also sun burn. The loud music from the concerts and workshops, the large number of people and the dust are some factors which could stress your dog. 
Please also consider the behaviour of your furry friend and the expected behaviour and reaction at Andanças. Make sure:
•    that your dog behaves well towards strangers and other dogs;
•    that you know the reaction of your dog to this kind of environment; 
•    that your dog is well trained and follows when called;
•    that your dog can stay quietly in the tent without barking at the slightest disturbance;
•    that your dog does not mark its territory everywhere, including neighbouring tents.
These points might seem insignificant but they are essential for a harmonic gathering of humans and non-humans at Andanças with which both are comfortable.
