Leasing a horse may sound like a great idea. However, it will only save you money under very specific conditions. In general, you will want to avoid leasing and simply buy a horse with cash. The situation where a lease would make sense is if you want to see what it is like to take care of a horse. The money saved only comes into play if you try it and decide to cancel the lease after deciding that it is not for you. This way, you haven’t wasted money on a horse that you will just sell later on. Even so, you could volunteer on a horse farm to get the same experience without having to pay a penny. So, it is really up to you.

We all love our furry friends. We would keep them by our side at all times if we could. However, we have to visit family for the holidays or go on a work trips. Thankfully, you can leave your dog in the hands of trained professionals. Dog boarding is an excellent option to ensure your pet is taken care of while you are away. In this video, you will learn all you need to know about dog boarding.

The first thing you should determine is what kind of boarding you need. You can either choose kennel boarding or in-home boarding. This all depends on what type of dog you have. For example, puppies are better suited for in-home boarding where they are comfortable. This would be the same with senior dogs that may be overwhelmed by the noise in the kennel. However, you must be comfortable with a dog boarder living in your home while you are away. On the other hand, you could choose kennel boarding. Some kennel boarders even provide dog training during their stay. You should also make sure to provide medical information to your dog boarder as well as any other pertinent information. You can also ask how big your dog’s area will be and if they will be interacting with other dogs. It is also important to ask about what the boarder will be feeding your dog. Lastly, you may want to have your dog stay in the kennel a few days before you leave to make sure they get appropriately acclimated. Hopefully these tips will help you next time you are away from your furry friend.

A few decisions regarding your dog’s care rely solely on your dog’s personality. For example, some dogs are shy and reserved and prefer to play alone rather than with others.

Quiet dogs like this should be kept in their homes to avoid stress. In 2022, there are several apps that assist in finding in-house pet sitters. Both pet-sitters and dog boarding services are happy to take in your dog, but which will keep your dog happy is a whole separate decision.

Based on a report by The Humane Society of The United States, the number of cats and dogs who end up getting euthanized even though they are healthy enough to be adopted is around one every 11 seconds. And if you don’t want to add your family pet to the number of euthanized animals, you might want to consider getting a spay and neuter operation for your furry friend.

With about 70,000 dogs and cats born each day, you can just imagine how many end up becoming homeless and getting booked into animal shelters each year. Experts say that the rounding up, housing, and euthanizing of homeless animals amount to over a billion dollars of taxpayers’ money annually.
