Acres Lodge is
a great place for dogs! Dogs have access to the lake to swim
and it is conveniently close to many hiking trails.
Bring
your dog food from home. It is easier on your dog if you
don't suddenly switch to a new brand. Remember that the altitude
can also affect your dog a little bit. Don't forget to bring
his bowl, leash and favorite toy!
Remember
to bring the vaccination record. If you should have and
emergency it will help you greatly if you need to contact
the local vet.
Don't
leave your dog in the car. Even worse than the cold in
the winter is the hot in the summer. Temperatures become unbearable
when the sun pounds onto the metal roof of your vehicle and
a cracked window will not be enough. In addition, dogs have
hurt and killed themselves trying to escape the heat through
a small crack in the window! You wouldn't leave your child
in the car - don't leave your dog. Instead - bring a kennel
or crate if you leave your dog behind for a few hours in the
rental home. That way you will be able to enjoy yourself knowing
that your dog is in a safe place.
Use
your dog leash until you know that it's safe for your
dog to play off-leash. There are many nice hiking trails that
you may take your dog off the leash if you are sure that he
will stay close to you. Remember that if he gets lost he won't
find his way home and there is wildlife around that may distract
him and cause him to loose track of you.. So keep a close
eye on your dog.
Pick
up after your dog and don't let the next guest find your
doggies surprises in the backyard. We provide bags for easy
cleaning at Shore Acres Lodge for your convenience.
Separation
Anxiety: You know your dog best: If you think he might
have anxieties without you in a strange place, don't leave
him alone to bark, destroy somebody else's property, chew
or urinate. Bring a Kennel just in case. If you have to leave
him alone for a bit at least you will have a safe place to
put him
When
making a reservation: Make sure you mention your pet at
the time of reservation so that a dog friendly unit is chosen
for your stay. Mention if you need a fenced yard and let us
know if that means 2 feet or 6 feet. |
