The decision to leave your cat at home or take it with you will depend on its age, character, and the characteristics of your vacation. As you know, cats are very territorial and any change in their environment stresses them out a lot. Whether you leave it at home or take it with you, we give you some tips! The Easter holidays are coming and with them a few days in which there are many trips. If you have a cat, you will have considered again, like every year, whether you take it with you or leave it alone at home. Tips if you leave your cat alone at home First of all, you have to keep in mind that the new Animal Welfare Law sets the maximum number of days that a cat can be alone at three . If you are going to be gone for more days, you should ask someone you trust to stop by for a while to check on your pet. Keep in mind that older cats handle loneliness better than puppies. It is better for the latter to get used to it first with short breaks. Also try to leave them toys so that they can entertain themselves and have a person take a look at them (daily in young cats or puppies and every other day in older ones). In the Disane catalog you will find hanging hammocks, play tunnels, scratching posts... You can take a look at the catalog at this link .

Pollution, which enhances the action of allergens, and climate change, which has lengthened the duration of pollination periods, has increased both the number of allergy cases and the severity of their symptoms. There are some breeds of dogs with a greater predisposition to having allergies, such as Labrador, Shar Pei or French bulldog, among others.
