You may have finally planned that vacation you had in mind for so long. You will be flying off some of the fancy places to enjoy yourself. Who doesn't love vacations anyway? However, if you are a pet owner, catering for your pet while you are away having the time of your life might need some planning and decision-making effort on your part.
Your pet's welfare is important so you must carefully check out your options concerning sheltering your pet while you are away. Fortunately, you can consider the League City Animal Shelter or the League City Boarding Kennel. These two facilities offer good vacation facilities for boarded pets.
If on the other hand, you want to consider other options, below are some vacation shelter ideas that may benefit your pet before you travel.
- Consider the type of pet you have.
The type of pet you have will likely determine the kind of vacation shelter you will go for. Animals that stay in cages like birds and rabbits can be easily carried as you travel. You may have to be careful with your handling so the animal doesn't get too disoriented by the change in environment. Dogs might enjoy a boarding house where they can socialize and play. You will have to consider its age, breed, and character before choosing a vacation shelter option.
Cats are more solitary and will prefer their privacy but you may still have to consider whether to take them to a boarding house or get a home pet-sitter.
Consult your veterinarian on whether your pet will be in good conditions to travel with you or be capable of coping when you are away. As a vet expert, your veterinarian might have a few pointers that will help you decide on which plan to follow. Consider their suggestions carefully before deciding.
- Home Pet-sitting
Getting a home pet-sitter is one of the best options to look at when taking a vacation. For one, your pet doesn't have the familiar territory of your home and two; your pet will enjoy the familiar company of a human being who cares about its welfare. Pick a professional home pet-sitter who knows their business and who has recommendations from people. It might be important you do a check-up on the individual to avoid bringing a criminal into your home. Remember you will be giving this person access to your home. On the plus side though, your pet gets to enjoy attention, walks, playtime and feeding.
- Home-boarding or Animal Boarding and Kennel Services
This option involves either taking your pet to the home of a professional pet-sitter who cares for client's pets while they are away or taking your pet to a standard public boarding facility like the League City Animal Shelter.
Both options are good and cheaper than Home pet-keeping because the former is more personalized to just your pet while the latter involves caring and boarding several pets together.
- Leave with your friends and family
You can also leave your pet with your trusted family and friends whom you have confidence in to take care of your pet. Be sure that such a person is responsible and will be in charge of the pet as discussed.
- Take your pet for the ride
Alternatively, you can simply carry your pet along for the vacation if it's in good health. There are a number of pet-friendly hotels in Texas that will gladly accommodate you and your pet. You may have to take a veterinary check report of your pet with you to be on the safe side.
Who knows your pet might even enjoy the traveling experience? So simply evaluate your vacation shelter options carefully before you decide on the best possible route to follow.
