Sometimes pet owners are forced to leave their pets at home for holidays or even for long periods of time. Fortunately, there are a variety of services available to help pet owners care for their pets when they are away.

If it's a short trip or a day at work, there are plenty of dogs walks in many cities. The service usually picks up the dog, takes him for a walk in a nearby park, and then takes him home for the rest of the day. This service allows dogs out to use the bathroom and allows dogs to interact with other dogs. Often times, these dogs also enjoy human interaction.

Another option for daily grooming is dog day school in Durham. This has become such a popular choice that some people take their dogs to daycare several times a week so that the dogs can play with other people.

Various options are available for travel that is longer. Many people have neighbors who can come in and care for their dogs while they are away. Some people have family friends who bring dogs home during the holidays.

This is better for dogs on longer journeys as they will not be staying home alone for very long. Dogs, like humans, walk little without human contact and socialization.

If this option is not available, the vet may be able to step on the dog during the holidays. There is also a breeding ground where dogs board boats. This option is acceptable to most people and is the most commonly used option. Unfortunately, even while running, some dogs are not allowed as much exercise or freedom as they normally would.
