Summer is approaching quickly. We are all getting ready for some well-deserved time away from home. Opportunities to socialize, meet and play with friends, hiking the trails, soaking up some sun, a quick dip in the pool, a perfect combination of relaxation and fun…all for your dog of course. Our smallest pups need and deserve some time away too. It is sometimes hard to consider taking time away from our small four-legged family members. Preparing in advance will give you peace of mind and ease your anxiety, and your dogs.
Why it may not be a good idea to bring your dog on vacations with you.
As a dog lover, I can appreciate the want to have our four-legged companions with us. We do not want to think about them being left behind.
Although we are comforted by the thought that our presence reduces our dog’s anxiety, I know that the choice to have them travel with us is not always in their best interest. I travel by plane frequently and see many stressed dogs in airports and on planes. Although some seem to be expert travelers, most are unsure, tense and stressed.
While we have experience traveling and skills to overcome the abundance of sensory stimuli, our four-legged family members do not. Think of absorbing all the new sights, sounds and smells from 4” off the ground.
Traveling soon? See how we can help you and your dog.
Building a relationship with small dogs and their owners allows us to provide a stress-free and fun vacation experience for both. We empathize with the decision to have your dog and know the importance of creating a safe, loving environment for every guest. We have consistently brought peace of mind to pet parents leaving their small pup for the first, fifth, or tenth time.
