Memo to the owner of the dog, going on vacation

Usually looking after the house in the absence of the ownersinstruct friends or relatives, neighbors. They can easily visit each other once a day or two to water flowers, brush off the dust, monitor the property of the owners. To look after a dog too often ask relatives or friends. That during your absence the dog received a full-fledged care and did not suffer from separation from you, you need to prepare well.

The best option - invite an eye-catcher to your doghouse for the time of your departure. If this is not possible, then you need to prepare a dowry for the dog. Previously, the dog should be taken several times to visit the person in whose care you leave it. Let the dog get used to unfamiliar smells and conditions.

Before taking the dog to her temporaryplace of residence, check up, whether all inoculations are made (if is not present - make). The dog should be treated against parasites: ticks, fleas, helminths. It does not hurt to place a dog tag on your dog's collar with your contact information.

In the "dowry" for the dog is:

• feed;


• bowls;


• litter;


• toys (favorite and new ones, which will surely cause interest);


• goodies;


• collar;


• roulette;


• harness;


• towel for wiping paws;


• a towel for wool;


• shampoo;


• overalls;


• comb;


• veterinary passport;


• first aid kit (with a dog thermometer);


• medicines, if the dog has a chronic disease, and she constantly takes them;


• Your unwashed t-shirt (to keep your scent);


• carrying / cell;


• muzzle;


• if you are supposed to travel in the car: a hammock / litter, a harness with a seat belt;


• panties for the dog, if heat is expected (still try not to leave the bitch to strangers);


• a note for the dog;


• money sufficient to deliver the dog by taxi at night to the veterinary clinic and pay for an emergency operation.

Instructions for the dog's caretaker should include the following items:

1. No initiative, all actions not regulated by this instruction, to coordinate with the owner over the phone.


2. Mobile phone number of the owner.


3. Feeding regime (feed 30-40 minutes after a walk or other motor activity and not later than two hours before a walk).


4. The mode of walking (only on roulette!).


5. The mode of taking medicines, if the dog takes them constantly.


6. If the dog has a chronic disease, then describe the signs, when it appears you need to urgently show it to the veterinarian!


7. Addresses of the editorial offices of local newspapers, where you can urgently advertise about the loss of the dog.

Having prepared all the necessary items, having thoroughly instructed a friend or relative about the rules of caring for your pet, you will save yourself and your dog from many possible troubles.

Happy holidays to you and your dog!
