Your Dog
How long are you willing to leave your dog home alone?
Whether you’re going to work or Hawaii, after how many hours do you decide that your dog(s) need a doggie daycare, kennel, pet sitter or other accomodations?
Of course, this varies depending on your living situation and individual dog. For example, a 1-year-old Border Collie left alone in an apartment may need a daycare or dog-sitter after a few hours while an owner of a Great Pyrenees living on a ranch may leave the dog overnight or longer (with proper food and care).
Good question.
My fiance and I leave them alone for the day while we are at work (between 6-9 hours). They get one day of doggy day care a week (any more is just too expensive with 2 dogs and a 3rd about to start going after getting spayed). Other than that, they are NEVER left alone. If we need to go somewhere together on the weekend, my sister comes over to be with them.
Call them spoiled… I just feel too bad leaving them alone as much as I do already.
