THE DOG LIFE.
THE DOG LIFE.
Places in hotels for animals need to be reserved for two weeks.
Galina Fominova.
The FIRST dog hotels began to arise in Russia about 10 years ago in
Moscow suburbs: at summer residences and the thrown stables. In large cities
Existed private (and informal) perederzhka in-home. After
Reorganisations the most enterprising steels to expand the house shelters to
The present enterprises. By 1997 the dog business so has extended, that it
Began to licence. After ill-starred August crisis business has gone on
Recession: the provided people became less. After all such hotels are calculated on
Middle class: superrich people will employ somebody more likely to look after for
The four-footed friend, and poor this service is too expensive. And still
Dog (and cat's) the life in Moscow proceeds.
The hotel for dogs and cats on Shabolovka opened as transshipment
Point for the sick or operated animals at vetlechebnitse districts.
However demand has quickly exceeded the offer, and it was necessary to create
Additional "numbers".
The first, on what you pay attention at an input, is a pungent smell.
Small cages with cats stand on tables in two rooms vpritirku the friend to
To the friend. The maximum that allows to make the size of "number", - to be extended in
All growth. Each newcomer meet loud miaow: sensation,
That you have got on representation to Jury Kuklachevu. The hotel is calculated on
Simultaneous stay of 15 cats, but lodgers is more, and places not
Suffices: the white fluffy cat whiles away time in the same close cage, in
Which it have brought, under a table two more tenants in "baskets" mew. All
The pleasure costs 40 roubles of 80 copecks a day (without a food).
Behind a wall bark is already audible - dogs have guessed unfamiliar visitors.
Small open-air cages stand opposite each other. In the street - some more
Summer cages. In total about twenty; in the winter their number is reduced to 14,
As street open-air cages are not heated. But more also it is not necessary: hotels
For animals is the seasonal business which blossoming is necessary on summer
Months and New year. The dog manages to the owner in 51 rouble a day (besides
Without a food), but if absolutely small breed take as for a cat.
Working here cynologist Svetlana Tomakova names hotel
"Pioneer camp for animals". Appearance really reminds
The Soviet childhood: dirty floors, small spaces, feeding two times
In day and vygul under the schedule. However the local prices - the lowest in Moscow,
That allows to use hotel service not only very narrow
To population layer.
After Shabolovka open-air cages in hotel at station "Southern" seem
Presidential number in "Metropole": oil radiators in each,
Timber floors, the small warm small house passing in an open open-air cage, -
Language does not turn in any way to name it a kennel. It any more pionerlager,
And the present boarding house for especially valuable breeds. The price for days the corresponding
- 150 roubles. Empty seats, however, are not present - number needs to be reserved for
Some weeks forward (100 roubles more).
The hotel is constructed on a place of the former tennis court. On the high
To fence the barbed wire is tense, two projectors, cages from above are covered
Grid ("just in case that competitors did not throw a poison"). One
The cynologist is on duty round the clock, at night let out the huge Caucasian
Sheep-dog. But the main safety measure is undertaken personally by the director
Hotels Natalia: very early from windows of the house (the apartment is bought very much
Successfully) she observes in the big army field-glass that occurs on
The entrusted territory.
Owners of these lodgers do not live in misery: they presume to go
Some times in a year in holiday. Sometimes a dog get for the summer to protect
Cottage, and hand over in hotel till May in the autumn. Many of clients - foreigners
Or do business abroad. For example, the mistress of a local long-liver,
Rottweiler of the Lord, works in Scandinavia, and he on half a year spends on
To "summer residence". To walk two dogs together never deduce. And some not
Let out and separately - what are set on the person. Them
Owners usually warn at once: "To it do not approach, it shvyruchaja".
Once the bull terrier so has strongly bitten the girl-cynologist, that it long
Sewed up in a fracture clinic. The owner, not arguing, has paid from above 100 more
Dollars also has taken away the treasure home.
In point perederzhki animals on Kashirsky well know, that the such
"shvyruchie dogs". Three regular customers of hotel - bull terriers Fenja,
The Mile - active participants of the dog fights is given also. For such here it is equipped
Three "lux" on 200 roubles for days. Numbers are constructed in such a manner that
The animal can be let out on walk without contact to hands. Standard
Open-air cages go from 100 roubles (for small breeds) to 140. Dogs sleep on
Children's folding beds.
Cats here stand to the owners much more cheaply: from 60 to 70 roubles. In
To each cage - koshkin the house, a tray and the plastic rug simulating
Green lawn. Places, of course, much more, than on Shabolovka, but
Arrangement not the most convenient: directly opposite to the dog open-air cages. However,
In couple of days of a cat understand, that terrible barking is simply noise
Effect, also start to chew "Wiskas" easy. Among cats one hides
"Star" - a grey cat Speaking in a deep voice, the property of art director MHATa
Bitter Tatyana Doroninoj's name.
At reception of an animal the contract is filled, and the doctor gets the veterinary
Card. Then original "menu" (a maintenance card, where is made
All tastes, diet and mode of walks of the pupil) are entered. "Menu" -
Original working out of the mistress of point perederzhki Annas. From all
soderzhatelnits hotels it unique who is engaged in this business not
Only on calling, but also by training: its diploma in the state
To management academy it was devoted to the organisation of a life and rest of the four-footed.
In the West hotel business can be very profitable: the price for
Week residing reaches several honeycombs of dollars. Certainly, conditions
Residing there 10 times more, and in general a standard of living another. However
It does not mean, that similar hotels are not necessary to us. Earlier at the long
Departure owners either threw more often, or lulled the animals. Now them
Is with whom to leave. So is, of course, much more expensive. But it is possible to have a rest or
To work without any remorse.
