We go to holiday but where to attach a dog?<br /><br />So, you have gathered in holiday..... Also it is necessary to solve - what to do with your favourite - to carry with itself or to leave houses (or not houses). And if not at home - that where? About travel with animals it is written already much... I Will tell only, that though it is all and not so it is terrible, as it seems in the beginning but if there is a possibility - better an animal with itself not to carry. Especially, if you were going to have a rest in the places which climate sharply differs from places of dwelling habitual to an animal. Here except difficulties with expensive and unusual food, and also a large quantity of strangers it will be added also acclimatisation.... <br /><br />In an ideal - the animal remains in the house with the person whom it well knows and loves. And this person moves in your apartment (or already lives there) and observes a mode, habitual to an animal. But, unfortunately, the majority of us does not have such person. And at whom is - can not read further, at them the holiday problem is already solved.... <br /><br />The variant with visitings 2-3 times a day seems to me less successful. It is still comprehensible to cats (though many cats protect the territory not worse dogs), and here to a dog will be rather bad. Not only that she spends the night one so also another&#39;s person comes every day (even if its dog knows, it all the same stress). And after all the dog can perfectly behave with someone in the presence of the owner and not let in anybody remained one.... And if the one who promised to look after a dog will be ill or with it something happens? Without meal the dog will live that, and here without water (in the summer it will come to an end very quickly) and without a toilet - hardly.... Besides, coming 2-3 times a day, the person who badly knows your dog can not notice disease signs - it can be active from overexcitation from a meeting, and the rest of the time inertly to lay..... <br /><br />It is possible to lodge a dog &quot;on a visit&quot; to relatives, friends or acquaintances. It is a good variant if your relatives friends and acquaintances too love dogs or cats, love concrete yours zhivotinku.... And if is not present? And a dog-cat it will be bad (even if to it will make nothing bad, they very much feel the relation to.... Present, what to you would be to live there where possibilities to leave do not like and not to have you?&#33;) and friends will lose... Besides, you do not pay in &quot;&quot; of money and therefore cannot demand from them exact observance of your instructions on feeding and guljaniju are you it are obliged, they render you service.... At my acquaintance the Rottweiler, left to mum for 3 weeks for this time has recovered on 8 kg (&#33;) Began to sleep on a bed and refused to leave under a rain, during a bad weather he preferred the affairs to do houses.... At other acquaintance the dog (the small metis) for 2 days has learnt to kill street cats - the teenager who lived in that family and to which it was entrusted to walk with a dog terribly entertained.... Besides - not all have friends and relatives consonants to shelter house favourites... <br /><br />I am engaged perederzhkami animals during departure of their owners of 10 years. For this time has been turned out some experience, are considered (and some moments are found in the literature)... It I with pleasure will share All with you. <br /><br />All has begun casually enough. On vygule has got acquainted with huge (overage) a Dobermann terrier the Plenty and its very emotional, excited proprietress. The woman did not have a family, it was absolutely lonely also a Dobermann terrier was in a role of the unique indulged child.... I do not know, than I have inspired it such trust (on that vygule there were many dogs with owners), but once she has declared &quot;Milenochka&#33; I trust only to you&#33; You one can care of the Yard not worse me&#33; And I should and take it tomorrow with myself I can....&quot; I tried to refuse (a dog large and ill-bred, and at me a communal flat with very difficult neighbours and three small dogs, the are more true not, and picked up, on the rehabilitation, two of three invalids....) But she has begun to cry &quot;That to me now to do?,&quot; in general Flying I took. At all not counting on any money - simply to gain the person. And in a month it has been pleasantly surprised by the sum which to me was handed over by the grateful mistress..... Since then this my regular job and a small increase to the family budget. <br /><br />I consider the variant ideal for dogs and their owners. (Well and for myself, of course, too - differently I so did not do) <br /><br />1. The dog lives in usual apartment, together with me both my family and &quot;zoo&quot;. It seems to me, that for house, divannoj dogs it will be heavy enough besides separation from the owner to be lodged in an open-air cage (even finished in super-euro-style). Besides at me a dog constantly at me, on eyes and I am faster, with bolshej probability I can notice signs of an illness and any other problems. <br /><br />2. I take only &quot;familiar&quot; dogs. Or dogs who have asked to take me my acquaintances and friends. I.e. I do not give announcements, I am am recommended each other by those who at me already left the animal and who was happy with result. And always I communicate with a dog in advance some times and I try, that she has got acquainted both with my &quot;zoo&quot; and with my apartment that it was not - &quot;have suddenly resulted in an unfamiliar premise where there live many another&#39;s animals and people and have thrown&quot;.... I.e. I as though that &quot;acquaintance&quot;, but thus the professional loving dogs. Well and money to me pays - in case of what to demand it is possible...<br /><br />3. I never take more than 2 animals simultaneously. Since first, I have animals, and secondly, really qualitatively to follow a considerable quantity of unfamiliar animals it is impossible (in my opinion). <br /><br />4. I never release animals left to me on perederzhku from a lead. Even if owners assert, that the dog is completely trained and approaches at the first command. It it to them can approaches, and I to it anybody&#33; And suddenly will not approach? At me not that physical preparation that I could catch up with an adult dog who does not wish that her have caught, and wishes to go to search for the gone owners. The cats, left to me on perederzhku from the house do not leave - they perfectly are able to get out even of the most smart shleek, and to catch another&#39;s cat of even less chances, than a dog. Holiday seldom happens longer month is time it is possible and not to take a walk (my own cats do not leave at all the house all life and perfectly itself feel). <br /><br />5. I always ask owners to bring the laying, bowls, leads, toys. In my opinion, it is easier to dog (cat) to adapt, if it has many subjects from the native house. By the way, about adaptation.... For 10 years to me there was a dog who worried concerning absence of owners longer days. It was elderly kokker-spaniel David and before he did not leave the mistress for a minute.... All the others during pair hours started to consider me as the new mistress, and my apartment - the new house. It is the information for those who worries about the dog fidelity and about that the dog will worry. Will not be&#33; This not only my opinion, but also opinion of all who takes dogs on perederzhku and with whom we discussed it. The dog fidelity &quot;is not favourable&quot; from the point of view of a kind survival - if all dogs compelled even for time to change the owners perished from separation - a dog as a kind would cease to exist. The most adapt survive, adapted to everything, including to change of owners.... <br /><br />6. Animals with the same, than and houses are fed at me. I specially interrogate owners and I give a diet completely repeating house. Certainly, if the animal eats something very exotic or expensive (for example, to me left a cat, which ate ONLY a fresh salmon) I ask owners to bring to me a forage stock for that period while the animal is at me, but usually to me leave money for a proforage... By the way many animals, getting to me, change, both a diet and habits and start to eat from what at owners a nose turned back. For example, owners erdelja Dusi have been very surprised by news that she loves tomatoes... <br /><br />7. I never take the animals imparted and not processed from parasites. First - me the superfluous risk is not necessary, and in the second - at me the animals, and the child small.... And owners of other animals left at me will be not so happy, if after returning find out in the favourite an infection or parasites. <br /><br />8. I never take aggressive animals. And unbalanced too.... I do not want superfluous problems&#33; <br /><br />9. I try, that the arrangement about perederzhke was in advance and always I warn, that people who wish to leave at me a dog or a cat have found a spare variant since I too the person and I have different circumstances, I can be ill, is urgent leave etc., and to find perederzhku happens is very problematic (as well as on New Year&#39;s holidays) in the summer <br /><br />10. I have sufficient experience of the maintenance of dogs and cats, the vocational education, set of acquaintances in veterinary science (the list of necessary phones hangs in a prominent place) and in case of what a smog to render the qualified help or to find the one who will render this help. The truth for 10 years of the such happens to time (fie-fie-fie&#33;), but all can be.... <br /><br />11. I necessarily ask about unpleasant features of a dog or a cat. I should know - whether did an animal these actions and houses or it is a signal, that something at me does not suit it, irritates. Unfortunately, many owners try to hide such things.... <br /><br />I very much ask not to perceive it as advertising. It also cannot be advertising - I will not take &quot;casual&quot; dogs&#33; And addresses, phones are not present.... I have simply described ideal, in my opinion, perederzhku and if you leave an animal for the period of your holiday - you know now about what and how to talk to the person to whom you leave it. By the way, now the majority concludes the contract on rendering of services perederzhki an animal for the period of holiday of owners. There it is possible to discuss-describe practically all. <br /><br />Good to you of holiday&#33;
