Relocating Dog - German Shepherd to Czech Republic
What Type of Pets Do You Have?:
Dog - German Shepherd
How was your experience finding pet care in your new country?:
The people that we rent our Flat from helped with locating a vet for
Meggan. A couple of weeks ago, around November 11th, Meggan did get very sick. She contracted like a stomach flew. It was on a Saturday night, and she was sick all night. Sunday morning came and she wasn't getting better. The neighbor helped me take her to the vet and went with me to speak to the vet (no English). They gave her medicine to settle her stomach and an antibiotic. And, she is back to normal. The next day, I took her back to see the actual vet that owns the clinic and he does speak English to where we could actually communicate. Very good care. He said if I have any other problem be sure to call. They have emergency hours on the weekends and in the night time. Very pet friendly.
Any other suggestions?:
There are very nice pet shops and you can find most of what your pet will
need. All of the markets (food stores) have a lot of choices on pet foods.
Meggan is very particular on what she will eat. It has to small bite
Pedigree Dog food.
How was your pet(s) reaction to the new environment?:
Meggan has adapted to Flat living very well. She seems to be very well
adjusted. Our building has 6 families, and she likes everyone she sees. We
have very good neighbors
What's your favorite local hotspot that you've discovered?:
We don't really have a favorite spot, but Meggan's favorite thing to do
is going for a walk around the big hospital we live near. It seems everybody walks their dogs around that big block. It is about a 2 mile walk around
there
What are some things you miss the most about where you came?:
We actually came from China. I do miss living in a big house. We had a
large house in China. When we move back to the US, Meggan will be in a large house.
What was the best/worst part of your pet relocation?:
The best part of the Pet Relocation was knowing that Meggan was being
well taken care of. Of course, the worst part was the separation from my
pet.
How long do you plan to stay in your new country?:
That is a difficult question to answer right now. We may be here another
2 years or we may go back to America this Spring. Our company has asked us to stay for 2 more years, but things could change over night.
Any other suggestions or helpful tips for pet owners living in your new country?:
If you are not sure how to arrange pet care, just ask a lot of questions
until you get answers. I have to pay a lot for pet boarding, but I think it
is worth the money because Meggan is just like she is at home with Hana.
