Now here is a question for you, would you bother taking a dog or cat on your holiday? After speaking to a lot of people about this, i did get some very clear 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.
There was a clear winning response, which actually took me surprise, many people said “No”. There are those that did mention, taking the pet with them on their vacation, could actually add more stress to “their time”. Some people actually suggested, that looking after their pets was considered to be like work. This really didn’t make all that much sense to me, I needed to understand why people thought of their pet as hard work?
It was clear to see that many people saw no advantage in taking a pet on holiday. A lot of people said it was the expense, having to pay for an “extra passenger” isn’t cheap and flying it to a destination, can be very “pricey”. Things need to be checked, if there is anything wrong with the animal, there is a chance that it wouldn’t be able to go to a different country.
It was noticeable though, that some people were interested in this idea, and seemed to welcome it. This is where they consider the pet as the family member, not just a pet, but almost like a brother or sister. Some people get very attached to their animals, and insist that they go with them everywhere. 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 amusing to see so many different aspects 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 wrong? Maybe Caribbean holidays would be more suited to the cat or dog?
