Some people do and some don’t, taking your pet on holiday!
Now here is a question for you, would you bother taking a dog or cat on your holiday? I have spoken to many people about this and received so many varied answers. I thought that it would be interesting to see what you think about this, and then gauge what you have to say about it.
First of all the main response was “No”. I was somewhat shocked to hear that, a lot of people considered taking the pet on holiday with them to be stressful, but is suppose you could make something of that. Some people actually suggested, that looking after their pets was considered to be like work. Surely a pet was bought as form of release from work, and I would have thought that people would have invested a little more take them with them?
A large portion of people said that they don’t see the point in taking there pets on holiday. People started to weigh up the monetary values of their pets, suggesting that they are not welcome on the holiday because they are not human. There are also a lot of processes you need to put your animal through with regards to checks, for fleas and other problems.
However there were some people that were quite warm to the idea of taking your pet on holiday. This is where they consider the pet as the family member, not just a pet, but almost like a brother or sister. There are many people in the world, who get very close to there animals, and are “inseparable”. Now there were some people that thought of the pet as a family member, yet still considered it not as important as other “humans”, and made themselves feel better by saying, “the dog didn’t understand what a holiday was, so didn’t need to go on one”.
It was interesting to see so many alternative ideas on this, especially when people were speaking about Egypt holidays, or even Maldives holidays, this showed that people were prepared to take their dogs to places, even though they wouldn’t have much mobility, so is this correct or false? Maybe Caribbean holidays would be more suited to the cat or dog?
