			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each year, pets owners face the same problem: who takes care of the pet when the family have a holiday and see the sights of distant countries?</p>
<p>Which is not only the tricks of the owners have to walk dogs, cats and other domestic animals.</p>
<p>The owners of dogs, cats and other pets try to do everything possible.</p>
<p>Some people go on a journey with pets.</p>
<p>Other people have a holiday <em>&#8220;on a double-shift basis&#8221;</em> &#8211; first half of a family, then another.</p>
<p>Other people leave the keys to neighbors or the concierge risking their property.</p>
<p>Lucky individuals manage to give their pets to parents or friends of the family.</p>
<p>Not long ago, another option has appeared &#8211; the so-called hotels for pets.</p>
<p>However, some owners are still afraid to trust their pets to strangers.</p>
<p>To lie in the sun with no worry while your friend is accommodated in a hotel for pets, you need to learn a few simple rules: how to choose the Hotel for pets and what to require from its employees.</p>
<p><strong>Choosing a hotel</strong></p>
<p>Today in Moscow, there are several dozen of such hotels: from simple to elite hotels.</p>
<p>Any pet can be accommodated in a hotel &#8211; even the most exotic.</p>
<p>Some hotels even have rooms for crocodiles and geckos.</p>
<p>You can leave your pet in the hotel for any period of time.</p>
<p>In expensive hotels, cages for pet have the same size as ordinary hotels for people, one animal has 15-20 square meters. Such suites cost from 2 thousand rubles a day.</p>
<p>There are also more democratic options.</p>
<p>On average, in Moscow &#8211; one day of stay in the hotel for a cat costs from 300 to 500 rubles, for a dog &#8211; from 400 to 700, a parrot &#8211; from 250 to 400, a python &#8211; 700 rubles.</p>
<p>With or without food &#8211; depends on the contract.</p>
<p>Some hotels have a narrow specialization &#8211; dogs, cats, birds.</p>
<p>This makes some sense: the cat will not feel comfortable if it hears dog barking in the neighboring cells.</p>
<p>However, for those who have &#8220;a pair of every creature&#8221; at home, it would be more convenient to use a universal hotel where all the animals are taken together.</p>
<p>It is not that simple to settle your pet in the hotel, especially during the New Year, May Day and the summer holidays.</p>
<p>Therefore it is better to book the apartments in hotels for pets in advance.</p>
<p>However, before you book a room for your pet, do not be lazy to go to a hotel and make sure that the conditions in it are appropriate for your pet.</p>
<p>Because, on the one hand, such hotels must be controlled by staff of the Veterinary Association of Moscow on the basis of the &#8220;Provisional Rules for keeping dogs and cats in the city of Moscow&#8221;, approved by the government of the capital in 1994.</p>
<p>But on the other hand, these rules do not include any allowable sizes of cages and enclosures, no minimum number of feedings and walks.</p>
<p>So you&#8217;d better check the selected hotel and the room where your pet will live.</p>
<p>Later, at the conclusion of a contract, ask them to take into account all your requirements in details: food for your pet and how often to feed, how often to walk, bathe, clean the cage and so on.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion of a contract</strong></p>
<p>Standard form of such a contract does not exist.</p>
<p>Typically, the document includes the details of both parties, a detailed description of the pet, list of things brought by the owner &#8211; bedding and toys.</p>
<p>Personnel activities should be also written in the contract, if your pet is ill.</p>
<p>You can also discuss the diet of your pet.</p>
<p>If your pet is not fastidious, it will be fed as others.</p>
<p>If it is accustomed to a certain kind of food you need to notify the hotel staff.</p>
<p>In this case, you will be asked to bring necessary food with you.</p>
<p>No hotel can provide a suitable company for your pet, if the animals come to blows and injure each other, the administration will be responsible.</p>
<p>So when you are on a holiday, the animal will have to pass the time alone.</p>
<p>The order of payment depends on the internal rules of the hotel for pets.</p>
<p>Some hotels work on advance payment, others take fees in the end, the other &#8211; half the amount paid before and half after.</p>
<p><strong>Comply with veterinary standards</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Provisional rules for keeping dogs and cats in the city of Moscow&#8221; are categorical: a hotel for pets has the right to take pets only with a veterinary certificate and certificates of vaccination.</p>
<p>You&#8217;d better take care of them in advance.</p>
<p>However, there are hotels that ignore this rule &#8211; but it is better not to give your pet to such hotels.</p>
<p>Ideally, a pet should be examined by a veterinarian &#8211; to find out whether the pet is healthy &#8211; and given anti-flea medication.</p>
<p>Giving an animal in a hotel, make sure the &#8220;apartments&#8221; where it will live are disinfected after the previous guest.</p>
<p>Toys, bedding, bowl should be single-use. If the hotel does not have them &#8211; bring your own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On holiday, many people refuse long trips (and sometimes do not go anywhere) because of their pets.</p>
<p>The main problem is that they have noone to leave the animal with or they are afraid to take it with them on a journey.</p>
<p>There are usually only two ways: to leave the animal with friends or in a special hotel, or take it with you on a journey.</p>
<p>Though, as it turned out, there are no hotels for pets in Kirov, because their arrangement is too difficult &#8211; it must be a separate room and located away from residential areas.</p>
<p>Therefore, if you have no friends ready to take to your pet, you will have to take it with you.</p>
<p>Jeanne Varaksina, chief medical officer of Veterinary Clinic, told about some of the rules of traveling with pets:</p>
<p>- For an animal any journey, of course, is stress.</p>
<p>For example, it is better to transport a cat in a closed cage so that it could not see the surrounding area.</p>
<p>If the pet is sick, you can take the pills for travel sickness.</p>
<p>To carry the pet in the train it is necessary to have documents, to have your pet vaccinated and apply for a veterinary certificate in a public service.</p>
<p>It costs about 200 rubles.</p>
<p>Traveling with a pet abroad is much more complicated.</p>
<p>And I would not advise taking the animals with you, unless, of course, you move to a permanent place of residence.</p>
<p>Before the trip, you should find out the requirements of the country you are traveling to, because every country has different requirements for the importation of animals.</p>
<p>There are countries where the animal must be quarantined from 2 weeks to 6 months.</p>
<p>So, about six months before your trip, you should find out all the requirements and necessary vaccinations and tests.</p>
<p>By the way, some tests are not even available in Kirov, but only in Moscow.</p>
<p>Traveling with pets in Russia is easier &#8211; it is enough to obtain a veterinary certificate and pay the freight.</p>
<p>For example, in the train, a big dog must be in a muzzle and it should be carried in the vestibule or in a separate compartment car with full payment of all seats in the coupe.</p>
<p>By the way, blind passengers can carry guide dogs free of charge.</p>
<p>Small pets should be transported in special containers that will protect the luggage of other passengers from damage.</p>
<p>If the animal is transported in the baggage car, the owner must take it immediately after the arrival of the train, but no later than after 12 hours.</p>
<p>Otherwise, &#8220;in case of absence of the recipient, railway station has the right to realize the animals in the prescribed manner&#8221;.</p>
<p>By the way, the citizens of Kirov take their animals with them on a journey reluctantly.</p>
<p>According to one of the travel agencies, no one has ever requested for that.</p>
<p>Moreover, not every overseas hotel can allow to bring a dog or cat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Any flight is a serious stress to the human body.</p>
<p>And especially for our beloved pets. But sometimes you can not avoid such situations when you have to take the animal with you.</p>
<p>The owners worry about the state of the pet and try to make it comfortable and safe. Flight with animals should be carefully planned. Then it will be less painful.</p>
<p>First, make sure you have all necessary documents.</p>
<p>For domestic flights you need only a veterinary certificate.</p>
<p>It is issued usually three days before the trip.</p>
<p>It includes: the owner&#8217;s data, nickname of animal, its sex, age, vaccinations, the result of tests for worms, and itinerary.</p>
<p>For international flights, a set of documents is larger. You will also need a license for export and international veterinary certificate.</p>
<p>Remember that the documents are not arranged in a free form but in accordance with the rules adopted in each country.</p>
<p>Exotic animals are the most difficult case. A sanction from the Russian State Committee for Environmental Protection is required to transport such animals. You will have to prove that the animal is purchased legally.</p>
<p>Secondly, the transportation of animals is carried out only in special containers.</p>
<p>At the time of flight it is a new home for your pet, which should be fully equiped with: water, food, bedding.</p>
<p>Try to pick up a more spacious container for the animal so that it could stand up and move around a bit.</p>
<p>The bottom of the &#8220;house&#8221; shall be watertight and covered with an absorbent material.</p>
<p>Many owners want to take a pet into the cabin. And it&#8217;s possible! Transportation of animals up to 8 kg in the cabin is permitted.</p>
<p>But you need to book a place in advance. Because the number of animals per flight is limited.</p>
<p>All other animals will be kept in the luggage compartment. Do not be afraid! This is a completely reliable form of transportation.</p>
<p>Baggage compartments are heated, and sealed the same way as a passenger compartment.</p>
<p>Transportation of animals is charged separately, because the container with the pet is considered excess baggage.</p>
<p>The only exceptions is guide dogs that accompany their owners in flight.</p>
<p>To date, transportation of passengers with pets is a priority for the most international airlines.</p>
<p>There are are even special hotels for four-legged pets in some planes.</p>
<p>But airlines are not responsible if the authorities of any country prohibits the import of animals into their territory.</p>
<p>That is why pay attention to the customs regulations beforehand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People travel not only with their husbands, wives and children, but also with animals. On the average about 100 animals pass through veterinary station in Kiev airport Borispol daily, most often cats and dogs, and also decorative cockroaches and elephants.</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Before you decide to take your animal abroad, call or go to the consulate of the country you are traveling. It is possible that to import your animal to that country will be so complicated that you&#8217;d better leave it at home with your aunt, uncle or grandmother. Don&#8217;t travel to the UK with your pet: once you land, say, in London Heathrow, as it will be taken away and sent to quarantine for six months and furthermore you will have to pay for that 2.5 thousand pounds. In France it is prohibited to travel with a pet younger than 3 months. In order to bring the animal to Argentina, you must have a the veterinary certificate issued and sealed personally by Consul. And to travel to Sweden with an animal you must obtain a permission from the Ministry of Agriculture of this country.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> If the above-mentioned customs rules haven&#8217;t scared you enough, then you will come across with the strict rules of the airlines. Depending on the rules of the carrier, they will let your pet either stay with you in the cabin, or they will make you keep it into the luggage compartment. Animals heavier than 8 kg will be transported together with suitcases on flights of &#8220;Aeroflot&#8221; and &#8220;Alitalia&#8221;, heavier than 5 kg &#8211; &#8220;Air France&#8221;. &#8220;Aeroflot&#8221; takes extra charges for each kilogram of live weight, as a kilo of excess baggage. On transatlantic flights by Air France or Lufthansa you will have to pay about $ 130.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> If you accept all these rules, take care of papers for your pet. You need a veterinary passport (issued to purebred at birth) or form number 1 (issued in any veterinary hospital). Records in the veterinary passport as well as the form must be filed no earlier than 3 days prior to travel. Do not forget about a rabies shot a month prior to the travel &#8211; you&#8217;ll get no papers without it.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> If everything&#8217;s ok with your papers, take care of a container: in this case it is as important, as the documents. The container should be roomy, durable, have a waterproof bottom, with strong locks.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> If your container meets all the requirements, you can go to the airport. Leave earlier: before registration you should go to veterinary station, and there are often queues there. The veterinarian will examine the animal for a fee and seal &#8220;export allowed&#8221;. It is enough to travel to Ukraine. To travel abroad, you must exchange you Form 1 to Form 5a &#8211; exactly same piece of paper, in English only. If you give the animal to the luggage compartment, then go to the cargo terminal. You should take a way-bill and register your animal as a live load.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> On the day of travel, do not feed your pet and don&#8217;t give it water. You should take a long walk with your dog before the flight. Vets do not recommend giving the animal a sedative &#8211; drugs have an unpredictable effect in the air. In general, it is proved that animals behave well on takeoffs, landings, and the flight itself. So often travel with a pet is more stressful for the owner than for the animal &#8211; you might need a sedative, not your pet.</p>
<p><strong>7. </strong>After leaving the pet in the luggage compartment, the owners begins to fear: an animal is transported piled with suitcases, it flies out on the conveyor, and it is kicked and thrown like a cheap bag. Airport workers claim that this is a vile lie: the containers are placed in a quiet place and they don&#8217;t not touch them without need. On &#8220;The Ilyushin&#8221; the pet can be even visited in the luggage compartment during the flight, on &#8220;Boeing&#8221;, although it is difficult &#8211; the entrance to the cargo compartment is located on the outside.</p>
<p><strong>8.</strong> If you think that a trip by train with the animal is less exhausting, you are mistaken. You won&#8217;t manage to transport it as a stowaway: the trainman will not let you into the car without the note of payment (and you won&#8217;t get this note without a Form 1)  for the transportation of the animal. If the trainman let you in, everything&#8217;s in your hands. Usually it is possible to agree with a trainman so that the dog travels with you in the coupe, if the neighbors do not mind. If not &#8211; you will have to send the dog in a remote hallway of the first car. In general, it is better to buy up all the places in the coupe in advance.</p>
<p><strong>9.</strong> If you like an animal abroad when you are abroad so much that you want to bring it with you, then you should register the papers in the reverse order: an international certificate, at home you should exchange it for the form number 1. Ukraine has its own rules on the importation of animals: you can not take animals from the countries where the foot and mouth disease was reported 2 years after the epidemic. To come home with some wild animal &#8211; a parrot or a turtle &#8211; you need to get a permission from CITES administrative body (Convention on international Trade in Endangered species of Wild Fauna and Flora). Without this permission your high priced animal may be taken away on the border, and you may be accused of smuggling.</p>
<p>In general, a trip abroad with an animal is perhaps not simple, but quite feasible. You just have to want it very much.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Travel Tips: Transportation of animals</p>
<p>If you decided to travel with your pet, you should pay attention to the rules for transporting animals.</p>
<p>For the purposes of export the animal in the first place you need the documents for the transportation of animals. Cats and dogs are:</p>
<p>To export the animal first of all you need the documents for the transportation of animals. They are as follows (for dogs and cats):</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Veterinary certificate issued by the state veterinary hospitals. It is issued three days before the trip and is valid only during these three days. It contains the surname of the owner, nickname of the animal, its age and sex, and date of vaccination and worm test. In addition, the certificate includes the itinerary. The certificate shall be signed and sealed by a doctor. Veterinary Certificate is the basic document that certifies the &#8220;identity&#8221; of your animal at customs control.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> License for export (in case of export the animal outside the CIS). The license can be obtained in Moscow at Russian breeders associations or Central school of experts of service dog breeding, or at The All-Russian Alliance of Public Associations of Hunting and Fishing (Rosokhotrybolovsoyuz), it all depends on the breed of a dog. If your dog has a pedigree, instead of the license it wil be enough to provide a pedigree.</p>
<p>License for the export of cats may be issued be any Felinological club.</p>
<p>The correctness of paperwork the day of departure customs checks veterinary control.</p>
<p>Customs veterinary control checks the paperwork on the day of departure.</p>
<p>Hamsters, guinea pigs and other rodents are not allowed on board the aircraft.</p>
<p>Now about the flight. Almost all airlines do not allow to keep dogs and cats in the cabin.</p>
<p>Sometimes it is possible to transport the animals, but with weight restrictions (up to 5 to 8 kilograms).</p>
<p>All other animals are kept in a special department of the luggage compartment.</p>
<p>A passenger ticket and a separate passenger seat are required for dogs weighing over 40 kg.</p>
<p>Guide dogs accompanying blind or deaf passengers are transported in the cabin. Such a dog must be muzzled and be near the host, it is transported for free.</p>
<p>During the flight all the animals must be in special containers that meet the requirements of the International Air Transport Association and the containers must be of appropriate animal size.</p>
<p>In most cases, animal transportation is charged as excess baggage.</p>
<p>At the same time, many countries have their own characteristics and requirements for transporting animals.</p>
<p>Therefore, traveling to a particular country, you should find out all the rules in advance.</p>
<p>Some countries have very strict restrictions on the importation of animals and require additional vaccinations, certificates, and they also provide quarantine (6 months).</p>
<p>Finally, the carrier is not liable for any loss, illness or death of an animal, as well as in the case of refusal to accept it on the territory of the country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To give advice &#8211; as it is known is churlish. However, to follow the advice of others is sometimes even less reasonable than to give it yourself.</p>
<p>For example, two weeks ago, the newspaper &#8220;Arguments and Facts&#8221;, answering questions from readers whether it possible to export a parrot from Russia, without any references or permission, shared the following information.</p>
<p>If you have no desire to walk to the services for processing a permit to export your beloved pet, you can do this without it, if you follow old contraband method.</p>
<p>For this purpose, do it this way. Next, I quote from the text.</p>
<p>&#8220;According to the feedback of knowledgeable people, birds are put in a bowl with vodka, and when the bird is unable to control breathing, it swallows &#8220;life-giving water&#8221;, then it is taken out of the bowl.</p>
<p>Here it is important &#8211; not to overdo and not to make it drown.</p>
<p>Soon the &#8220;drunken&#8221; parrot is falling asleep. It should be taken in conditions that ensure the access to air, for example, the half-open purse, or in the men&#8217;s handbag.</p>
<p>The method is fairly reliable. The main thing is not to overdo with the dosage of &#8220;dormitive&#8221;. &#8220;Underfill&#8221;, however, is also not desirable &#8211; if the parrot wakes up it will make noise and ruin the operation&#8221;.</p>
<p>Advice is essential in its way. Indeed, this is the usual way to smuggle the animals.</p>
<p>And it often works. However, &#8220;Arguments and Facts&#8221; did not mention what it may cause.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, we should understand that this way of exporting the animals is known not only for the readers of &#8220;Arguments and Facts&#8221;. Customs officers also know about it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why, during the x-ray inspection of baggage, they pay attention not only to those objects which resemble weapons and other typical items of contraband.</p>
<p>And if they see on the screen of their devices something even remotely resembling paws, claws, beaks, shells or skeletons, then, as a rule, the procedure is not limited to the x-ray inspection of luggage.</p>
<p>They will not be lazy to personally inspect a suspicious bag.</p>
<p>Of course, it is possible in the hope that customs officers will not look in a handbag, put your animal in a bag of contraband or in your pocket, as it is usually practiced with the turtles.</p>
<p>But there is no guarantee that you will not fall across at the curious customs officer, who would like to fossick and in your pockets.</p>
<p>Degree of responsibility for violation of customs regulations of export of animals is different. It depends on two things: what animal you were trying to smuggle out of the country and in what quantities.</p>
<p>If, for example, you set a goal to export a usual budgerigar, which does not require any permission, except for customary international veterinary certificate, the conflict with the customs can be hushed up.</p>
<p>Found &#8220;parrot-illegal immigrant&#8221; can be simply taken away, or if the customs officers are forgiving, they will give it back to the owner.</p>
<p>However, you should not hope for the best in cases of smuggled animals. Especially when it comes to animals listed in the Red List.</p>
<p>However, it should be noted that according to international convention, import and export of animals listed in the Red List, can be carried out solely on the basis of special permission from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flor, the abbreviation is CITES.</p>
<p>It is clear that the list of animals which export must be accompanied by a permission of CITES, is huge.</p>
<p>After all, almost all more or less rare wild animals are included to the List. However, in addition to this list, there is one more, which includes animals that are generally restricted to be exported abroad.</p>
<p>In particular, the parrots are included in this list. As explained to us by Russian representative to CITES, it is due to the fact that, according to international rules, trade of parrots is prohibited.</p>
<p>Therefore, all parrots, living in Russia &#8211; a country that can not be regarded as their historic homeland &#8211; are credited to the category of contraband priori.</p>
<p>CITES has no right to issue permits for the export of contraband animals from Russia.</p>
<p>If someone ignores these rules, it should be borne in mind that parrots, as well as other contraband animals found by Customs when you try to export them, shall be confiscated and handed to the representatives of CITES.</p>
<p>The fate of animals depends on the decision of CITES, but usually it ends with their transfer to that country, where they were once smuggled.</p>
<p>Vain pursuit is also waiting for those who would like to export a turtle from Russia.</p>
<p>In principle, you can apply for the export permit for turtles, but only under two conditions.</p>
<p>Firstly, if you confirm that your tortilla was purchased in state stores, but not from a private owner.</p>
<p>And secondly, if you provide proof that it was caught on the territory of Russia or, in extreme cases, in Ukraine or Uzbekistan. And not in Turkmenistan, for example, where turtles are not allowed to be exported.</p>
<p>It is not easier to export other animals either.</p>
<p>The requirement of CITES to provide official documents confirming the legal purchase of animals, minimizes the number of not only exported parrots and turtles, but all other exotic and non-exotic animals.</p>
<p>Since virtually all of them are bought and sold at our wet markets, where neither certificates or vouchers are issued.</p>
<p>The discovery of animal in the luggage without the permission of CITES, as a minimum be qualified as a violation of customs regulations, to the maximum &#8211; as contraband.</p>
<p>In the first case, you can put off by administrative fine and the confiscation of contraband.</p>
<p>In the second case you can get from three to ten years imprisonment with confiscation of property.</p>
<p>Of course, the second variant threatens punishment only to those who smuggled large scale.</p>
<p>So when you decide to take advantage of expert advice to smuggle, don&#8217;t be lazy to inquire about the consequences.</p>
