Where to leave your puppy during holidays?
Who to entrust your Pet to if you can’t take him with you? Here is who you can contact and our tips to better organize your absence!
Choosing who to entrust your Pet to when you go on vacation
Are you leaving for the summer holidays, but you can’t take your 4-legged friend with you and you don’t know who to entrust him to during your absence? Depending on your Pet’s needs, you can choose from different types of professionals, without forgetting a premise: it is essential that our puppies never feel neglected and that they can keep their usual habits!
Here’s who you can contact and some advice to make the best choice:
The dog asylum
It is a dedicated center where your puppy can spend the whole day. The more structured realities give the possibility to come and pick him up and bring him home, host him overnight or for a few days and even be able to see how he is via webcam wherever you are!
The pension for animals
The pension is the most suitable solution especially for longer holidays. These structures have the advantage of allowing your puppy to socialize with his fellows, providing their services with competent and qualified personnel.
Before booking, our advice is to visit the facility personally to talk to the staff and make sure they can meet your expectations and the needs of your Pet.
A serious and reliable boarding kennel must comply with the established hygiene and safety standards, have spacious boxes in which our friends can move freely and guarantee the possibility of taking regular walks in the open air.
The Pet Sitter
The perfect solution for you if you prefer your best friend to stay at home, in a more familiar place. The Pet Sitter takes care of your 4-legged friend by respecting his habits, just like you would: he feeds him at the set time with the food you provide, accompanies him for daily walks, lets him play and, if your puppy is following a therapy, he gives him all the medicines he needs.
Your furry friend deserves the same care and attention you give him every day, even from the professionals you entrust him to! So, if you are looking for a pension or a Pet Sitter, don’t hesitate to ask all the necessary questions to learn more about the quality of the services offered, their level of experience and ask for references to understand if your expectations will be met.
Regardless of who you choose, make sure your 4-legged friend has the opportunity to meet who will take care of him before entrusting him. How? You can organize one or more meetings before your departure: in this way they can get to know each other in advance and your Pet can gradually gain his trust.
Tips to better organize your absence during the holiday
From food supplies to hygiene and well-being products: before leaving make sure you have purchased everything you need, so that your 4-legged friend doesn’t miss anything while you are away.
Furthermore, before entrusting your puppy to someone, it will be useful to write down all the instructions and the most important information that the person who will take care of him needs to know.
Here are some must-haves:
- Information on food (quantity, frequency, times, any particular indications);
- Rules for home safety (windows, doors, balconies etc.);
- Emergency numbers (your mobile phone number, address of the facility where you will be staying, contact details of your vet);
- Your Pet’s health record;
- If necessary, information on the medicines your 4-legged friend takes (doses and administration).
The last tip? A few days before your departure, take your Pet to the vet to check his health and, if necessary, bring it up to date with vaccinations. In this way you will be sure that he will be fine during your absence!
