In the lives of pet owners there comes a time

home. The reason could be a holiday, a business tour or honeymoon. But while
you are planning to go out and away from your beloved fido, there are certain arrangements
that need to be considered. If you are leaving your dogs back at home then
there are some provisions that you need to make so that your lovely pal stays
safe and happy in your absence.
So,
just to make it easier for you here are the suggestions on dog-care back home
while you are away.

Animal proof your home
Take
all the possible steps to make your house animal proof before leaving just like
how you baby–proof your house to ensure that your baby doesn’t get hurt or
ingest any harmful thing.
There
are many types of drugs and eatables that may be healthy for us but can be life
taking for your pet.
Some
of the things that can be poisonous for dogs are-
- Xylitol – A sweetener
- Advil
- Batteries
- Chocolate and cocoa
- Bread dough
- Onions, leeks, garlic and chives
- Grapes
- raisins
- currants
- Macadamia nuts
It is
necessary to take care of eatables and internal proofing but at the same time
you also should secure your house from outside. Check your fencing and doors
properly before leaving to make sure that they don’t require any repair.
Also
use pet friendly pesticides in the lawn.

Pet-Sitter
Your
pet is going to miss you a lot and that is the reason why you would require
someone who is very close to you and your pet, because this will help your pet
to feel comfortable and safe around him them. Someone from your family or the
person who has already met your pet before would qualify for the job.
You
can also go for professional pet-sitter but always find a professional
pet-sitter through recommendations, so that you can leave your pet with them
without any worries.
Give
all the required and important information about your pet which will help them
to treat your pet in the best way possible.
·
Contact Information
Never
forget to give your emergency contact number to your pet sitter and also take
the complete contact information of your pet sitter as well. This will help you
to keep a track on your pet sitter and pet. It is really important to provide
the contact no. of your vet to your pet-sitter which can be very helpful in
case of emergencies.
Always
meet your pet on a video call if you can, while you are away. This will keep
him/her assured that their parents are still there for them.

Boarding Can Be An Option For
Pet-Sitter
There
are many boarding options like kennels
and catteries. You just have to choose a council-register facility. These
facilities are completely pet friendly and provide high quality services to
pets.
You
just need to figure out that, what sort of care takers are there?
Types and quality of treatments are available
if your pet is suffering from any infestations like flea and tick,
gastro-intestinal worms or joint pain.
And
most importantly what are they going to feed your pet.
·
Stock Up The Health Care
Treatments
If you
are opting for a pet-sitter and you are going for a long vacation then it is
wise to order the necessary health care treatments that you are providing your
pet. There are many websites that offer a facility called Auto-order. Auto-order will automatically order the product that
you want on a monthly basis for your furry pal on the date that you feed in the
system while activating it. Hence, auto-order will keep you away from all the
hassles of ordering the same treatment every month by saving your time and money,
and, for the pet parents who travel a lot, this facility is a blessing. You can
also opt for auto-order facility on Discount Pet Care this facility.
These
were some tips from our side. Hope these are helpful for you. Just remember
that dogs are like babies and they might not understand the sudden
disappearance of yours. This can be very stressful for them
Therefore,
they will need some really good care while you are away.
For the love of pets
