People
nowadays are getting busy and even busier with their work, personal life, and their
household. It could be more complicated when you have your own family – wake up,
take care of the kids, drop them to school, groceries shopping, pick up the
kids from school, cook for dinner, and bed. Can you imagine if you have to work
as well and have pet at home? And when you want to have great escape overseas,
and you remember that your cute little puppy must stay at home. That could be
quite disaster for some people.
You might
think that few days in your friend’s house is not a problem. Your friend might
don’t mind taking care your cute puppy, but what if your puppy doesn't like
your friend and the environment? Here are several solutions that could help you
solve this kind of problem.
- Ask someone to check your pet
- Animal boarding facilities
This option might be
a bit fancy for your pet. Nowadays there are a lot of animal boarding
facilities and hotel for your pet. They will provide several fun activities for
your pet such as playtime, beach or park adventure, and photo shoot. They also
provide other nice treat for your pet such as grooming. It will cost some
money, but if you are willing to give your pet a reward for being a good
girl/boy while you are away, that should be fine.
Another issue that will make
you re-consider asking for someone to take care of your pet is their food. When
you put your pet on special diet, and you are afraid that they will ruin the
diet because it is quite confusing to explain the right amount of food, you
might decide to purchase auto-machine pet feeder. By using the machine, you can
set the timer and the amount of food needed for your pet. This is quite convenient
and it will lighten your helper’s job.

Great blog! You bring up points that I personally resonate with in regards to the busy lifestyles people now face, therefore leaving them with little or no time to take care of their pets. As a previous dog owner myself I found it quite difficult and sad to leave my dog alone due to work and uni days.
I believe you hit the nail on the head by mentioning that the animal may not like the carer and the environment it is in, if it is being taking care by someone who isn't the owner. I definitely found this to be the case when I used to let my next door neighbour take care of my dog whilst my family and I were overseas, they told me my dog was very hard to handle because it didn't cope well in a new environment and with a new career.
I do agree that the option of using animal boarding facilities can be costly for those with low income, this is why I reckon using a product like the feed a pet will help alleviate the issue of worrying to fork out allot of money for such services.
Seeing as animal safety is such an important issue, I believe the government should do its bid to ensure all Australian pet owners have the ability to adequately care for their pets. I believe this can be achieved if the government introduces yearly Australian household pet owner grants, which provides all Australian pet owner with a small sum of money to help them cover associated expenses involved with taking care of their pets e.g. veterinary expenses, food, and animal boarding facilities etc. Don't you think this will be a good idea?
Thanks

Yeah i think that's quite a good idea when the pet owners could get grant for their pet's need, i believe it will alleviate their worries about the cost and without hesitation, they will give their pet the best treat ever!
