Easter holiday is approaching; what are your exciting plans?
Is your furry little guy (or girl) part of those plans?
No vacation would be the same without that precious little fur-kid that you’ve grown up with, enjoying every little stage of development.
- Eggs are a great source of very digestible protein, riboflavin, and selenium for your pup. Feeding an egg once in awhile can also promote a healthy coat and skin!
Traveling With Your Pet
Whether you’re embarking on a cross-country plane flight or an interstate road trip, adequate preparation ahead of time is always important.
- Do you have enough food and water? You can purchase plastic ‘travel’ water bowls at your local pet store.
- Have you planned for scheduled potty breaks?
- Have you prepared your pup’s bladder for a lengthy plane ride (if traveling via air)?
Vaccines
Is your pet well vaccinated? Rabies is the only legally mandated vaccination (for both dogs and cats), but there are several that you should consider. Have you vaccinated for Parvovirus? Distemper? Bordetella? Kennel Cough? Is your pet up to date with his heart worm medication? How about flea preventative?
- Bats are the largest carrier of Rabies in the United States. Many owners still don’t bother to vaccinate their cats. Since cats are nocturnal hunters and more likely to contract the disease from these creatures….
Public Travel & Socialization
Many owners don’t want to desensitize their pets to complete strangers, which makes perfect sense. You don’t want your pup happily greeting any possible intruders with enthusiastic, joyful kisses.
However, consider the reaction an unsociable dog might have in an enclosure full of complete strangers, especially if one attempts to pet the dog (children often do). Dogs that aren’t accustomed to being around people, especially large groups of people, are likely to suffer from heightened anxiety.
Making sure your pup is well socialized with people and other animals he may encounter could be vital to the success of your travels!
Children
It is highly unlikely a young child is ever going to break into your house. Children often don’t understand when it may or may not be appropriate to interact with others’ pets; it is especially important your dog is well socialized with children!
Walking the Pup
Puppies and small breed dogs can sometimes be all but impossible to walk, bolting this way and that with no real sense of direction. Instead of dealing with the strenuous task of keeping your little one on coarse in a heavily populated area, why not carry him in his own comfortable little enclosure on your back instead?
- Small dogs are sometimes hard to see, and can not only create a tripping hazard, but possible injury for both parties.
