You are planning a much-needed getaway to the coast and have made reservations in a charming beach community off the coast of Washington. It's great because it's been ages since you've been away and you're well overdue for some serious "me" time.
You have thought about the possibilities of taking your dog with you on your weekend, but are not sure if it will be easy to leave him in the kennel for a few days, hire a teenager to raise him. Went or just packed him and took him along for the ride. After all, he is your best friend and will really enjoy those beautiful long runs on the beach.
Many people choose to travel with their pets. If they are pet friendly before arrival, be sure to contact the reservation desk to inquire. Often times, the establishment will charge a minimum pet fee to cover any additional cleaning that is required if a pet stays in the room.
The following are some things you might want to consider when taking your pet on a trip:- Lease your pet.
- Bring a "Popper Scooper".
- Ask the front desk if you have a designated area to take your pet for potty breaks.
- Male dogs should not be allowed to potty on plants as it destroys plant life.
- When exiting the room, place your pet in a kennel to provide a safe environment for the housework workers who will enter your room to provide service.
- Keeping your pet blanket on any surface will help a lot in cleaning upon departure. It is very difficult to get dog or cat hair out of the couch and bed.
- Some dogs shout when they are in unfamiliar environments. It gets tough on your neighbors when you leave. If you have a pet that misses you and speaks your mind, please take it with you.
You and your pooch will have a blast on the beach! Bring a Frisbee or his favorite ball to play a catch and enjoy the hour's play.
