I hadn't though about us being able to visit each others' dogs! Ours will be there in April and we won't be able to visit much as we'll be a few hours away. Would be great to think that someone else might be able to go and make a fuss of him! Hope yours is ok- I expect he'll settle down in a few days. Just think how excited he'll be when you pick him up!

Wouldnt think you would be able to visit anyone elses either. Its not like a normal dog kennel, they bring pets to you you are not allowed to wander among them.

We visited our dog twice a week, as we weren't too far away and the girl who looked after him said he was much better after we visited, as he is a weimaraner, and prone to separation anxiety!!! Worked for us, but we all know our own dogs, so I don't think its right or wrong to visit/ not visit, just down to personal preference, logistics, and what you are advised by whoever looks after them [IMO]

We had to sign to say that we understood the rules, which included you only visited your own animal, and didn't fuss/ pet others etc.

I think that our mid-quarantine visit will be as much for us as for the dog - I will feel better (I hope) once I have actually seen where he is and met the person looking after him. After that we will probably have to just wait until he is ready to be collected, as I won't be driving for hours twice a week to visit!
Anyone know anything about doggy rules/requirements in NSW Hunter Valley? I have info on vaccinations etc, but I haven't heard anything about leash-laws or licensing - if anyone has any info on that I'd be v appreciative.

back, i didn't know that others couldn't visit the dogs in quarantine shame cause i bet they would love some cuddles! good luck to all who are sending their animals, its a very worrying time but im sure it will be worthwhile in the end. jo x
