[nagdu] Leaving Your Dog While on Travel was RE: {Disarmed} Fwd: [GuideDogs] Dogs in Europe

[Reinhard Stebner]

I brought my guide to TSE and had a very positive experience. TSE was very
willing to help and gave him a very thorough exam. The only thing with
Seeing Eye is that you must bring the dog to and from the school. I like the
idea of pup razors, they would have a good feel for what the dog needs and
who you could bring the dog to locally.

How long will you be on travel? Unless your dog is used to being in a kennel
and not getting a lot of time with people, I would actually recommend trying
to find a friend with whom to leave him. If you do not have any friends who
are willing or able to take care of him, it is sometimes possible to find a
puppy raiser in the area who can help. This is often a better choice anyway
as puppy raisers  know the rules.

This reminds me. I am planning to go to Britain, Ireland, austria,
Lithuania, and Iceland in August. I was worried about meeting all the
various regulations, and have pretty well decided to board my dog and use a
cane while travelling. If I change my mind, I only have a few weeks to start
the complex blood tests needed. When I wrote Seeing Eye asking whether they
would hold Gyro for me, they said reluctantly they would if I could find no
other option. I have to look into professional boarding kennels.

The lady at Seeing Eye sent me contact info for a person who had been to
Austria and Lithuania, to get details about his experiences, but he did not
reply.

Any comments would be appreciated.
