Many pet owners face a dilemma in winter about what to do with their pet when they have a holiday plan. Not every hotel is pet-friendly, just as not every location can suit our pet, for example because of his/her age. We'll try to give you a hint of what to do to make sure your animal can best handle the separation.

Who should be responsible for looking after your pet?
A standard solution when you have to travel without your pet is to leave him with relatives. This is a good idea if your pet feels very well at home with them. You can tell temporary caregivers about your pet's favourite games and how to encourage him/her to be active outdoors even when the weather outside is not good. You should also tell them about the daily rituals you've worked out with your pet - if they follow them, your animal will feel safer.
It's also worth considering whether our relatives like animals - ask them directly if it won't be too much trouble for them and if the time spent together will really be fun for everyone.
Entrusting the care of an animal to specialists
During your absence, you can also benefit from the services offered by pet hotels. If you do not have people around you who like animals enough to take care of your pet for a few days, this is definitely the best solution.
Many professional companies provide comprehensive pet care in the absence of their owners. Using their services, you can be sure that your pet is in good hands and will spend time in comfortable conditions, where his needs will always be met. It is also worth taking care of an earlier visit with your animal at the pet hotel so that he/she can get used to the smells and new space. This is definitely the best investment in your peace and your pet.
A few days of separation can strengthen your relations!
When leaving, you may feel remorse for leaving your pet with someone else. Please get rid of them quickly! If your animal is with people who love him/her or with those who daily take care of pets professionally, be sure that a temporary separation won't hurt him/her in any way. To choose the perfect place for your pet, ask your friends for recommendations, check the opinions on the Internet and above all trust your intuition. After all, no one, like you, knows where your pet would like to stay!
Remember also that such situations are inevitable - life writes different scenarios, and it's good for your pet to know that other people love him and can take care of him. Then the separation - shorter or longer - will not be as painful for both of you.
