Pets in Ecuador Safety

11 years ago

When we search for our residence, safety is usually a primary consideration. For the sake of you pets, consider this also. Just because your landlord will accept dogs does not make it an ideal place. Take time to make sure that the neighborhood dogs do not have access to your yard. Also, if you keep your dog tied or chained, make sure that the pet is not rendered helpless in the event of an intrusion or attack. Just because your dog is large, regretfully, does not insure that it can defend itself if the occasion arises

This is a difficult subject for me to talk about because I truly love my dog. I have heard of such heartbreaking stories because people do not realize that part of the culture shock includes our care and protection of our pets. Dogs in Ecuador live in a different culture than they do in the U.S.

In many areas, dogs are on the streets. Dogs, by nature, tend to run in packs. Sometimes, dogs that are not part of the pack are considered an intrusion. Be wise and Good luck.
