TRAVELING WITH YOUR PET
At your destination
|

How
well you and your pet behave on the road directly
affects the way future travelers with pets will be
teated. Always clean up after your pet and keep him
under your control. Allow your pet only in designated
exercise or animal approved areas; never take him
into such off-limits places as the lobby, pool, patio
or restaurant. Expect to pay some type of additional
charge.
A few words on "petiquette":
- Try
not to leave your pet alone, but if you must,
crate or oterwise confine her.
- Crate
at night as well.
- "Barker"
or "chewer" make poor neighbors - keep
your pet quiet and on your assigned site!
If you leave the site, take your pets with you
(if it is permitted) on leash.
-
If your dog barks at the neighbor's dog, reposition
him so that the two animals are out of one another's
sight - out of sight, out of mind!
- Unless
you will always be present, do not tie your dog
outside.
He could become tangled in the tie-out and get
hurt, loose animals could attack him, strangers
could feed him, he could tip over his water, and
as the day progresses, his "shade" could
move, leaving him to bake in the sun.
- Keep
lots of toys handy to keep your pets busy if you
can't be entertaining them.
- Clean
up after your pet immediately - children often
play in those areas too.
If you walk your dog, carry your pooper-scooper
baggie with you so that people along your path
can see you are prepared if your dog decides to
make an "unscheduled deposit."
- Walk
them regularly - at least three times a day.
Make sure your dog gets enough exercise. A normally
active dog may become quite discontent with having
to remain sedintary at your campsite. He will
be more able to remain quiet and content if you
walk him or play with him so that his normal activity
level is maintained.
- Never
take your pet into off-limits places as the lobby,
pool, patio or restaurant.
- Keep
your dog or cat leashed, especially in wilderness
areas and around small children.
- Teach
your dog basic manners.
So that when some little child down the way
asks to pet your dog he will sit quietly to be
petted and not jump on him. After feeding your
dog, remove any food which he does not finish.
- After
feeding your dog, remove any food which he does
not finish.
Leftover food will attract insects during the
day and wildlife at night.
- Always
keep your dog's water dish full of fresh, clean
water.
