Is the Dog Coming?
Going away this holiday? Taking your dog with you, or paying for boarding? Either way preparation is important.
When taking your dog with you, you need to make sure that you take everything your dog would need… and some. Its not as easy as grabbing a bed and packing the bowls. You need to plan for every scenario.
Do a little research on the vets in the area you are going to, this will be incredibly important should an emergency arise, and you must rush to the vet. When time is of the essence you can not waste it by jumping on to google to search for vets. Rather do that before your vacation starts.
Pack some extras – yes, you are packing like you do for a child. If your dog is on chronic medications, make sure you pack them and that you have enough for the time you are away. Always, and I mean always, pack something like Allergex. New environments can be unpredictable. You never know when your dog may have a run in with a bee or a plant he isn’t used to.
Pack those treats! You want your dog to learn how he can and can’t behave when on vacation, if you take him out where he can be social with other dogs and humans, always reward that good behaviour.
At the end of the day, we take our dogs along on vacation because we want them to enjoy it as well, and if we are honest, we just want them there with us. So have fun. Enjoy the time away together and try new things your dog may also love.
Our dogs are only with us for a short period of our lives. Always remember how special it is for them to have a life filled with amazing adventures with you.
