Tips on what to consider before dropping our pets at the kennels, leaving them with a house sitter or taking them with us.

  • If you have if we have opted to put your cat or dog into a kennel or cattery at least 2 weeks prior you’ll need to ensure vaccinations and worming are up-to-date .
  • Another popular option is getting a house and pet sitter, especially if your pet gets anxious being away from home or for pets with special medical or care needs. Make sure you meet the sitter home and allow them to meet your pet and you’ve discussed what to do in a medical emergency.
  • If you’re taking your pet with you. Take everything you'll need for daily life - food/water (make sure they have their own H2O bottle), bowls, doggy doo bags, lead, bed, etc. and make sure you don't leave your pet in a hot car; you'll need to plan your trip so that your pet won't have to be left unattended in a vehicle.
