Pension thinking that he loves animals

Laura: The pension for pets was not the first on the list. Moving from Bucharest to Brasov I noticed that in Brasov there were no pensions or kindergartens, the people who went on leave and they could not travel with the dog had to leave him for dogs for dogs in Bucharest. So I made a way to the veterinary health management to ask for information on creating a dog pension. Although the staff were very kind, they were able to give me information only on the minimum requirements that a refuge for dogs must meet, not a pension (they do not have a guide for dog pensions). I started looking for a land outside the city, not too far from the utilities, ideal with utilities already on the ground, but still a little further away from the houses so as not to disturb the neighbors. There was a large land to adapt to 2 buildings (dog pension and my future house), a lot of running, etc. After good months of research, denying something to meet all the requirements and to adapt to the budget that I oriented in search of a tourist pension which obviously will be friendly for pets. Having already a dog on Dexter, I knew how difficult it was to find accommodation to accept pets. After other beautiful months of research I found what I wanted in Moieciu de Sus.

Petmax: Do you have animals? Did you take them before or after retirement?

Laura: Yes, I have 2 dogs, one before the pension and one after.

I was on Dexter for 7 years and opened it 4 years ago. Dexter is a Fox Terrier Sarmos male, we have known each other for about 3 months and since then we spend time together.
Milka arrived almost 2 years after moving to Moieciu from above. He was hit by the car, detected by an association of Brasov who deals with the rescue of dogs (Anu), he operated, so he admits for weeks because he could not use his rear limbs. He needed a fenced courtyard to be supervised, protected by dangers and recover with it (exercise, treatment, creams, etc.). After a month, Milda began to go and turned from Foster into Foster failed and spends his old ones to Moieciu. Milka is currently about 12 years old.

Petmax: How is the area where you did the pension? Is it a place where people are attentive to their animals, willing to keep them at home/pension?

Laura: Moieciu de Sus is a beautiful area, slightly more airy and not as crowded as the Prahova Valley, the landscapes are absolutely wonderful. The people who come here for the first time are absolutely enthusiastic about the area and rightly. However, Moieciu de Sus is a village where animal preconceptions are deeply rooted in humans. That is to say, the dog should only be outside, possibly in the chain, to eat residues from the people’s table, cats are not allowed at home and rarely receive food because otherwise they do not catch mice. Unfortunately, the people here, who in many other areas of the country are not very attentive and caring with their animals, especially with those that produce nothing (milk, meat, etc.). Obviously, the world here does not sterilize their dogs, we are not talking about reduced, microchip. Another problem is the dogs left free through the village which are inevitably carved by cars. The clubs look at people who live in the apartment with dogs and make holidays or go on vacation with them. Consequently, there are few pensions that accept pets, this situation is similar to the country, not only to the Moieciu area. Of course, there are exceptions, people who save dogs, sterilize them for free through free sterilization programs or their own expenses or that put dogs in adoptions. Unfortunately, these people remain only exceptions.

Petmax: How did tourists have the idea of ​​receiving dogs in retirement? Both dogs and dogs without dogs

Laura: Certainly, tourists who have at least one pet have been happy with the existence of an extra pension for pets. Of course, there are people who do not have dogs, I don’t understand what a pension means that accepts pets or to tolerate the presence of one or more dogs inside. In order for things to be as transparent as possible, I inform all the people who make a booking in us who are a pension for pets and who will most likely be in the common spaces and courtyard. Those disturbed by the presence of dogs are recommended to go to the accommodation spaces that do not accept pets.

Petmax: What does an additional pension require more than one who does not accept animals?

Laura: I don’t know if it should be among the basic requirements of a pension for pets, but a large and fenced courtyard is welcome. The pension is located near the main road and this is why I absolutely consider it the existence of a fence. In addition, a strong vacuum cleaner for animal hair but also towels, water or food bowls, stool bags, toys are welcome. Last but not least, I would like to mention that the existence of a special regulation for pets. And of course the patience to explain to each one that we are a pension for pets and what it means.

Petmax: Because you hit you by hitting people with animals

Laura: The regulation for pet owners appeared following unpleasant experiences, from pee to red or scratched doors, excessive barking, plants or destroyed trees, dogs closed in the room with hours or left unattended in the courtyard. So, before making a reservation, the tourist is asked to read our regulations. Most of the delicate owners respect the regulation but, unfortunately, there are exceptions.

Petmax: Apart from dogs what other animals are well welcomed in the pension?

Laura: All pets are welcome. I hosted parrots, guinea pigs, hamsters and cats as well as all breeds and size of dogs. A lady came with a kitten in a special backpack so that she can take her with her to take a walk. A couple was walking with a leash fisherman on the route. We are pleased to host people with their pets and, through our pet policy, we encourage people to spend a lot of time with their companions.

Petmax: Have you hosted various events that involve animals?

Laura: The first event was the construction team of Anu (Mili needs us), an NGO of Brasov who takes care of saving animals without a teacher and took Milka after being trampled on the car. Obviously, all year round the members adopted at least one dog or cat and came with them in the construction of the team.
Then I collaborated with a Bucharest coach who organized training seminars for 3 days with individual/ group training sessions for people to improve their relationship with dog and dog to have fun with his man and other dogs.

I can’t help but mention the regular meetings that have the «Gasure» of Collie, Goldeni or Pomeranians.
There are also events that happen alone, without a previous organization when in one weekend every reserved room had at least 1 dog, about 2 or even 3. There were about 12 dogs, races and different sizes, everyone was extremely good. But perhaps more important than the fact that there were no problems with dogs was the fact that people (adults, children) who did not know each other before making friends and maintaining the connection today. We became the event of the great Fugausea because during 2 days the dogs played and managed continuously, the people socialized, their friends tied everyone. From my point of view this means a successful weekend. Very soon we will host the third edition of the great fugitive.

Petmax: Being friendly retirement requires greater hygiene?

Laura: Obviously. As I said before, we have an extremely good vacuum cleaner with special brushes for animal hair. In addition to other professional cleaning products, it is a real help. Of course, more time is assigned to cleaning a room in which a dog was hosted, but this does not disturb us at all.
Petmax: are you going to do something more for dogs, a playground?
Laura: Absolute. The construction site is quite large and in the plane it is to organize a dog playground with different obstacles for agility. I would also like to have an indoor playground that when time is hostile to have fun with their owners.

Petmax: How do tourists who have no animals when they wake up with dogs in retirement in the common spaces?

Laura: As I said before, tourists are in advance that we are a pension for pets. The reactions are totally different. Some do not understand what friendly to pets means and ask for further explanations. Most are very excited to have the opportunity to play with a dog or more and are not disturbed by their presence. Obviously, there are people who, although they knew very well where they made the booking, are subsequently disturbed by the life or the number of dogs.

Like the pension of the Tara di Moieciu de Sus there are countless pensions and hotels that are just waiting to visit our kind friends. A careful research on booking or Facebook on groups with this specific and nothing can prevent us from planning future leave. Remember, only respecting the rules of the pension/hotel and taking responsibility for our fur will it make even more accommodation eager to open their doors not only to us, to people, but also to our friends, cats or any other animal.
