Going On Vacations with a Golden Retriever

After a lot of new experiences together, you and your Golden form an invincible team. You will be amazed at how many unknown qualities lie within your dog, when without hesitation he jumps onto the cable car or with total security gets on the rowboat with you. The origin of the Golden retriever goes back to the British Isles, and they were practically born for life in a moderate climate. Therefore, he will cheerfully accompany you to northern countries or to the mountains – they love long walks along cold beaches. However, a vacation trip to a tropical area might cause him problems. She will most probably prefer to stay in a fresh hotel room than to accompany you to the beach. Many dogs respond to climate changes with diarrhea and circulatory problems. If your Golden is for the first time on the beach and he drinks salty water, you can suffer from a terrible diarrhea. Therefore, you should never forget to take drinking water for him in your hunting travel dog kennel.

Before traveling abroad, find out what the conditions are and what to expect when you get there. You also need to know what requirements there are for entering a country with a dog, as they quite often change. Anyhow, your dog will most probably need a recent rabies shot. In some countries there is even the obligation to take a leash and sometimes a muzzle.
