On leave with the Quadruped

On leave with the Quadruped

The holidays started this year. With the joy of starting for relaxation and fun on leave, the stress of the question is often added: who can I leave the puppy? In cats it is simpler, they are more independent than dogs, they do not need the attention of the owners. We usually leave the key to a friend and ask him to spend every day to change water, the sand in the litter and to put them on food. When it comes to dogs, the situation is complicated. We all know how attacked and dependent on us and how much we suffer when we also leave for a short time without them. In addition, we would like to be accompanied by our friends and even if we leave them to a pension of friends/dogs, all the leave would think about it, if it is good, if you need it.

When planning a leave with the delicate quadrupeds, it is necessary to take into account some very important aspects:

– The place where you go (mountain, sea, delta, excursions with the tent, in another country, etc.)
– availability (physical, health, age) of the puppy you want to bring with you,
– Tolerance of the dog to travel by car or any other means of transport chosen
– The type of activity you want to undertake on leave, implicitly the time you are willing to dedicate to the partner.
-The housing unit you have chosen, making sure it is friendly for pets

It doesn’t matter where to choose to go on leave, you have to make a list of things that should not be omitted:

1) The first time go to the vet for a routine control. Approach it where you would like to go on leave and ask him if there is any impediment for which your quadruped could not accompany you. Make sure your kind friend has all the mandatory vaccines made. Remember to take the veterinarian’s phone number to use it in case of medical emergency. Pray the veterinarian to make you a little medical help for the dog that includes pills/supplements for various conditions that may appear: diarrhea, nausea caused by automotive transport, ointment for various injuries, medicinal coal, a shampoo with frequent use (for example: if you go to the sea, the salt can be damaged. Retracting the room to take a bath to remove salt and sand on the skin). Also, make sure that the animal has (interior and external) of DEWORMS (here you can find the necessary deworms). It is very important since you will spend a lot of time out in nature, the puppy is protected. If you consider it necessary (especially for departures outside the country) you can create health insurance for the puppy. A simple search on Google will tell you what consists and what the costs are.

2) Make sure that the hotel unit you want to stay is friendly for pets (sends at the time of booking, the dog’s life should not surprise that the unit is friendly for pets … but accepts only small dogs). Ask if there are additional costs for the non -distinct companion. Even if the hotel/pension receives pets, we must consider that we do not abuse. We must be careful that the quadruped does not bark in the room to disturb other tourists, to bring him out to do his needs in the time he has been learned. If the dog’s breed is prone to leave a lot and if we want to sleep in bed with us, it would be advisable to take a thin blanket to put in the place you get used to. It is preferable that when we leave we do not leave the dog only in the room. Since he does not know the place, he can become anxious, he can bark by disturbing other tourists, he can bear furniture, cushions, etc.

3) It doesn’t matter where to choose to go on vacation, don’t forget to make fur luggage 🙂 Here are some objects that should not be missing from the luggage of the Quadruped:

– Dog health card
– passport in case you want to go to leave in another country
– The time to go to bed will make him feel good even if the second place will be a foreigner
– the medical kit I wrote above
– bowl of water and food, including a folding bowl to be used for water when you are not in the room
– portable adapters
– enough food. Do not calculate the food portions you take. Put some portions in addition. Don’t forget the prizes, it’s just a holiday, we all ruin 🙂
– Toys: balls, frisbee, floating toys to play in water
– A thin protective blanket if your dog’s race is subject to leaving a lot of hair
– Towels
– Absorbent carpet (for the transport of the car it is very useful if the dog is badly done)
– The leash, the collar, the harness and necessarily make sure that the dog’s scratch/harness is captured with a number of tags with your phone number if you are lost. It is very important
– Hygienic bags for feces
– Special antibacterial wet towels for dogs
– Brush/comb/brush glove
– specific drugs if you have a dog under the treatment of medicine
– Depending on where you go, take a rainy pilgrim/special shoes (if you want to take excursions in the mountains on very injured routes), rescue vest (for boat trips), reflective jackets if you go to hiking at night, sleeping bag for dogs or thicker clothes if you intend to go with the curtain on the curtain on the mountain tent on the mountain curtain on the curtain of the mountain on the mountain tent on the tent of the mountain tent On the tent on the mountain of the tent on the mountain on the mountain tent on the mountain tent on the mountain curtain on the curtain on the mountain tent
– Shadow/umbrella if you choose to go to the beach or somewhere you have to stay directly in the sun and you cannot rent an umbrella. Dogs are not happy with the idea of ​​remaining the whole day in the sun. Damage them, so we have to protect them

4) Transport:

– car – If the quadruped is used to travel by car, the problem is ready to be solved. Even so, make sure that you created a place in the car to feel at ease and particularly safe. For this we recommend that you guarantee a special transport cage, the cage that will make it feel safe during the car, the cage does not allow them to move from the other to the brakes, to the corners. In addition, in the case of an unwanted accident, the dog will be protected by both cage and in case of winding of the windows, he will not be able to escape from the risk of losing him. If the space does not allow you to have a cage in the car, fix the dog on the back seat with a harness on the seat belt. Do not forget to put an absorbent carpet in the cage/on the seat if it is injured. It is preferable that the departure does not have it in the starting morning. From time to time you stop to give water to drink and to make their needs. In no case you leave the dog in the car even for a short time, even with the windows open. Many dogs die every year. In summer. Within 10 minutes of the car left in the sun, the temperature increases by 10 degrees. The simple calculation, 30 degrees outside, in 10 minutes by car it will be 40 degrees.

– by train – In order not to have surprises, be interested before leaving what rules the railway company has with which it is intended to travel. As a rule, dogs should be kept on a leash and according to the breed it can impose the Bump. Some railway companies do not claim the additional commission for the transport of pets, but others require the purchase of a separate ticket for the quadrupeds. It is better to inform yourself in depth before leaving. To avoid long roads to go by train when you are accompanied by pets.

– by plane – Things are already complicated here. Each airline has its own rules regarding the transport of pets. In the aircraft, some companies allow the access of pets in the passenger compartment only if they are small and can be maintained in the transport cage of some dimensions. If the company with which you travel does not allow the transport of the animal than in the boot car, it is necessary to ask for more details. Airlines also for transport in the luggage car require that the cage in which the quadruped is in certain stas, size/material, have a certain prisoner. You must absolutely ask for all the details so as not to start the leave with a return from the road. Preferably, if the weather is very hot to choose races like in the morning or evening. After boarding, notify the flight that you have a pet. It is important. Preferably, if you can book direct flights without escalation. In this way, the risk of unexpected situations is prevented and reduce the dog’s stress to move. We do not recommend the administration of tranquilizers or sedatives to the dog transported by plane. They can rather increase its anxiety rather than improving it. Attention, many airlines do not accept in any form the transport of dogs that are part of the brachycephalic races (Mops, Boston Terrier, Beijing, Boxer, Bulldog, Shih Tzu etc.

Even if the idea of ​​a holiday with the animal seems complicated, with little planning in advance, the idea will eventually prove to be very good. In addition, once the planning has done well to the destination of the holidays, the fun is guaranteed.
