Ajmer in one paragraph
Primarily a pilgrimage city, and the major religious sites do not permit pets. Usually visited alongside Pushkar, which is a short drive away.
The full Ajmer guide deals with what there is to do together, the closed doors and the local risks.
Veterinary access at the far end
Veterinary care available in Ajmer city, reasonable for the region.
Find the number before you leave Hyderabad. Searching for it at 11pm in an unfamiliar town is the worst possible time. Emergency vets by city.
Timing it from Hyderabad
Long hot summers, with heatstroke risk from March through June. Winters are comfortable.
Summer heat is the main risk. Bathukamma and Diwali bring noise stress.
Set that against Ajmer, where the advice is to go october to march and avoid April to June. The overlap between those two windows is your actual travel season, and it is usually narrower than either one suggests on its own.
Doing this journey with your dog
At around 22 hours of driving this is two days each way, which is the argument for the train. Motion sickness shows up in the first hour and is worth testing before the day itself. Drooling, yawning and restlessness come before the vomiting, and a dog that shows them on a twenty minute drive will not enjoy 22 hours. Speak to a vet about it in advance rather than on the road. It is also the strongest argument for the train.
