Bringing
your Pet to Chaunigan Lake
|
| When
it comes to dogs, we say yes, conditionally. Other pets, we're not
sure (call). We understand that they are part of the family but we
also have to consider other guests who might be allergic to dogs,
or simply don't like them. For this reason we have to spell out the
following rules and recommendations (most of which should be obvious): |
|
1. Keep off the furniture at all times, no exceptions, and
only bring them inside the lodge itself if specifically
invited by the management or staff.
2. Keep away from other guests unless they approach you first and
indicate their desire to meet your pet. Not everybody is comfortable around even
the nicest dog!
3. Bring a portable kennel or cage for your pet to sleep in at night.
This is mandatory. |
4. Be aware of what your dog leaves behind. The next person to use
your cabin won't want to smell a wet dog or step in its business.
Keep the droppings OFF the trails, driveway and grass. There's plenty
of off-trail bush around to go in!
5. There will be little effort made to find lost pets, due to the vastness of the wilderness
surrounding us and the difficulty of the task. Pets should
be kept on a leash at all times to ensure their safety.
6. Try to use Rustic cabin #1 or Deluxe cabin #7 for your booking
with pets. This leaves the other cabins pet-free for guests with possible
allergies.
7. Pets are NOT allowed to join on any trailrides for both their own
safety and the safety of horses and riders. They must be left behind
either supervised or contained in their kennel. Pets cannot be left
behind simply on a chain unsupervised.
Guests who bring pets always claim their dog is friendly. But when
dogs encounter total strangers staying in the cabin next door there
is a real risk of injury to our other guests. In 2007 we had an incident
where a guest was attacked causing bleeding flesh wounds. Provoked
or not, this is an intolerable situation and we will hold the pet
owner liable for all situations arising from the presence of their
pet. As they say, once bitten, twice shy. Please keep your animal
restrained ON A SHORT LEASH (10' maximum) at all times (even if it
is only a toy poodle)! |

A
PORTABLE KENNEL OR CAGE IS A MANDATORY
ITEM FOR YOU TO BRING WITH
YOU! |
| |
| Pets
must sleep INSIDE the kennel and not inside your vehicle or allowed
to roam freely within the cabins at night while you sleep. They
must remain restrained when not visually supervised. Kennels are
also a good place to keep your pet while you are out on a trailride. |

PET PRICE $$$
|
Guests who arrive with pets of any sort that are not fully disclosed
and written into their booking confirmation will be charged an additional
$25.00 per night or
may be refused occupancy without refund and will be charged full price
for their booking as stated in our terms (see our "Rates"
pages). Guests who announce they're bringing their pet will be subject
to approval by the lodge manager.
Pets that are prior approved are free.
What we're trying to say here is, "TELL US YOU'RE BRINGING A
PET".
We have no authority over what you do while not
on our property, but please try to be courteous.
