Every year, many domestic animals are abandoned by their owners who go on vacation to distant destinations where animals are not allowed, or the cost of transporting them is high. There are also cases of abandonment due to the arrival of a new member in the family. It seems impossible for this problem to continue to exist. This is a problem that concerns us.
When we get a pet, whatever it is, we establish a powerful bond with it, and we must be prepared for a lasting relationship of maybe 15-20 years. During this time, we must bear a lot of responsibilities towards our animal which includes, for example, educating and protecting it after all. We must keep in mind that dogs grow, and can transform from cute and harmless puppies to huge, crazed and potential destroyers of plants, houses and gardens. We must also think that our dog or cat will not always have the temperament we desire. Often they are antisocial and arrogant, they fight, they bite and scratch, they take away our patience with their insistent barking, they pee out of place all the time, seemingly trying to drive us crazy. Because of this, many people can not understand the real responsibility of having an animal. They treat their animals as objects, getting rid of them at the first obstacle.
Fortunately, the animals are being protected by our governments and by associations that defend them. With that, crimes against animals are being more severe. Gradually people are becoming aware.
So if you are thinking about going on vacation, we suggest the following tips:
1- Are you sure you can not take him with you?
Think well, there are numerous houses in AirBnb, Couchsurfing or rural tourism that accept pets. After all, he is a family member.
2- Roadtrip
It may not be now to the animal to travel by car, but the longer it is, the more care is needed. It is recommended to stop every 2 hours - so your friend can drink water, do the necessities and relax. When you park, do not open the doors of the car without putting a leash on your dog and never open the doors on the side of the road. Traveling with your head outside can result in otitis or a fatal fall. Always park in the shade and keep the two windows open for air to circulate. And do not forget the essentials: water for the trip and a few cans of food.
3- Friends are for the occasions
Leave it well with a friend, relative or your neighbor. This solution has the advantage of being more economical.
4- Pet Sitting
Pet-Sittings are people / companies that come to your house to treat their animals, taking them daily to their usual walks, not breaking any routine that they are already used to.
5- Travel out of European Union
Carry a health certificate. This document ensures that the animal meets the health conditions and vaccination.
If you know cases of mistreatment of animals report them.
Get rid of worries, not your animals.
