Can I Still go on Vacation if I Have a Pet Pig?

I have a pet pig. Can I still go on vacation? 

The answer is yes! It will take a good bit of planning but for the most part, we can definitely go on vacations. I know many people who even take their pig with them on vacation. This can definitely be done if you start while the pig is a very young age.  Help them to understand that these situations and places are safe. Not all of us are able to take our pig on vacation with us. So, what two options do we have when we go away?

  • Boarding- Finding someone or a facility who will board our pig for us.
  • Piggy sitter- Find a person to come stay at your home or come visit for feed/potty breaks.

Make sure that you keep your pig in a routine so the pet sitter can take care of your pig and you would expect them to be taken care of. I like to have the person come over a couple times before the actual trip to follow me and see exactly how the routine goes. There are many things that we can do to make the task easier for our pig sitter. We also have to be okay with everything not being done exactly as we do it. Try not to panic if things don’t go perfectly. Make sure your sitter has the Vet phone number available and an emergency vet phone number as well.
