Going on holiday is something most people look forward to, but for some pet parents, it’s an extremely stressful time. Leaving your fur kids behind can cause a lot of worry and sadness, and it’s hard to have a good time when you’re concerned about your dogs back home. Are they sad? Are they missing you? Are they eating? Are they safe?
When you’re planning your holiday, it’s difficult to decide whether your dog’s better off at home with a pet sitter, boarded at a kennel, or left with a friend or family member.
On the flip side, there are those who pack up and leave without a care about who’ll take care of their dogs while they’re away. The festive season is a time when the SPCA receives many calls concerning dogs that have been abandoned at home without food or water. Or, tragically, there are those who are dropped off at shelters, and the family will get a new dog when they return.
EASING THE ANXIETY
If it’s your first time going away on holiday without your dog, you can keep them as happy as possible and provide the best care for them while you’re away. Prepare and plan everything ahead of time to make sure the time you spend apart is the best it can be for both you and your dog.
