Entertaining in a pet-friendly home make shopping for your pets easier! Pets are prized pals in many households. However, guests invited over for a special occasion who are not as enamored with animals may not be anxious about sharing party space with Fido or the family feline. In such instances, it’s up to the host to make guests feel more comfortable. In the days leading up to the party, consult guests about any pet allergies. If a person who will be coming over is allergic to cats or dogs, thoroughly clean and air out the house. Regard- less of how diligent a host is, it only takes a little bit of an irritant to trigger an allergic reaction. 1/2 Welsh 5-year-old Gray Gelding, 12.3 hands, Drives, includes cart, harness, & 2 bridles, Great ground manners, Limited time under saddle.

Thundershirts Available at RollOver The Best Solution for Dog Anxiety www.thundershirt.com As a courtesy to guests who are a little intimidated by pets, keep the dog or cat in a separate room. Be sure to feed and walk the animal prior to company coming over so he or she will be comfortable. Do not yell at the pet or make it feel like the seclusion is a punish- ment. If young children will be in attendance, it can be a good idea to keep pets secured in another area as a precau- tion. Even the best-behaved pets may become skittish with a lot of people around and act out of character. Young children are prone to pulling on dogs’ ears or engaging in chase and teasing behaviors. Because as party host you’ll have to divide your attention among many things, you do not want to have to worry about the interaction between pets and children. Pets that have some behavioral issues should defi nitely be separat- ed from guests for safety’s sake. Some pet parents fi nd that www.RollOverPets.com 221-5 S.

This way the pet is away from the commotion and he or she can enjoy time with other animals. Parties can be stressful for animals as well. Keeping them away from the situation may be the most ideal solution. Should guests be comfort- able with pets around, be sure they are aware of some house rules. This includes not feeding the animal any table scraps or whatever else is priority in the house. Although pets are an inte- gral part of many people’s family dynamic, guest comfort takes precedence over pets when it comes to opening up the home for a party or other gathering.

People want to bring their pets along on vacations or while traveling to visit family and friends. Until recently, it was more diffi cult to travel with dogs and cats. But as more and more hotel chains recog- nize the strong connection between people and pets, those chains are growing in- creasingly fl exible in hosting four-legged guests. For those who will be traveling with pets, there is a right and wrong way to do so. Having a plan of action is essential to safeguard the safety and comfort of all involved. Follow these tips to ensure everyone enjoys their R&R as much as possible. * Establish the travel meth- od and route in advance. Go online or scour travel maps to determine the best route to your destination. Depend- ing on the length of travel, layovers may be needed to sleep, refuel and simply stretch the legs. Determine which areas will be safe for walking a dog roadside, and look for rest stops with areas to exercise pets. Experi- menting with different routes virtually also enables travel- ers to choose the most di- rect, most scenic or another route that fi ts with their travel plans. Some GPS devices can also alert to lodging and traffi c conditions. * Stock up on supplies. Much as parents would bring along essentials while traveling with children, the same concept should be applied when traveling with a pet. Be sure to pack food, treats, toys, bedding, and any of the other creature comforts from home. It also may be a good idea to bring along a recent copy of the pet’s immunization records to ensure that he or she is up to date on all shots. Bringing records can also serve as a safeguard if the pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian while away from home. * Purchase bottled water. While on the road, take the time to give pets the oppor- tunity to drink water to stay hydrated. Keep in mind that once a pet grows acclimated to a certain type of water at home, a change in that water may cause temporary digestive upset. To avoid accidents or discomfort, travelers may want to bring water from home or purchase bottled water. * Contact pet-friend- ly hotels. Many hotels allow guests to bring along a pet, provided a security deposit is given. Some may have requirements, such as the dog must be caged at night or when left alone in the room. Some pet-friendly hotels can also recommend restaurants that allow leashed dogs. * Travel safely. When a cat or dog is riding along in a car, it is always best to have the pet restrained. the back part of the vehicle. Traveling with pets can be an enjoyable experience if Does Your Pet Need to be Spayed, Neutered Or Vaccinated? W Can Help!
