So grab a blanket, snuggle up with your pup, and letâs dive in! â¤ď¸
Minnieâs Tips For Leaving Your Pup For The First Time
Heading off on a vacation without your dog can feel like leaving a family member behind. But don't stress â itâs totally possible to make the separation smoother for both of you. Whether you're leaving for a weekend getaway or a longer trip, planning ahead can ease your worries and help keep your pup happy.
First, consider the right care for your dog while you're gone. A trusted friend or family member can provide comfort and familiarity, but if thatâs not an option, hiring a certified pet sitter is a great alternative. Ensure theyâre someone your dog knows or can become familiar with, especially if youâll be away for more than a couple of days.
Next, make your home dog-friendly while you're away. Leave extra food, water, and favorite toys within easy reach. Automatic feeders or water dispensers can also help manage meal times, so your dog doesnât miss a beat.
Finally, leave clear instructions for your dogâs care. Include feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special routines. With these steps in place, you can enjoy your vacation knowing your dog is well cared for and comfortable!
