Is it ok to leave my dog in her cage for 3 days while I go for a business trip?
April 18th, 2009
G A asked:
I just moved into my new flat, but I have to go up state for a 3 day busniess trip. I cannot afford to keep her in a boarding house so the only option is to keep her in her cage for 3 days straight. Now yes the cage is very small for the dog, (it will have only 7 inch’s extra moving space, but I could leave a big pile of food in her cage and lots of water. What do you think?

I think this must be a joke. Otherwise someone should report you for animal cruelty. If you cannot afford to keep your pet in a kennel, then you cannot afford a pet. Find someone to dogsit for you or don’t go on your trip.

Lock yourself in a tiny closet with a “big pile of food…and lots of water” for three days and see how you like it.
If you didn’t get the implication, the answer is no.

Absolutly not.
If its necessary block off a room in the house. And hire one of the neighborhood kids to walk the dog.

Are you kidding me?!?! I can’t think of a more cruel thing to do to a dog. I hope somebody puts you in a cage for 3 days to *** and **** all over yourself and then have to sleep in it. You’re a loser!!

I suggest you find someone you trust and get them to come over, to feed and water your dog along with letting him out 3-5 times a day.
A small crate wouldn’t be good for dog at all.

What will she do when she has to relieve herself, and how will she sleep once she has soiled her cage. What if she tips over her water the first hour, so has to go three days without water. If you can’t afford to kennel her, do you have family or friends who could watch her while your gone. It’s no ok to leave her in her cage.

NOOOOOOOOOO!Where do you suppose the dog do her business?? Also, do you not realize that animals, like humans need excersize, room to stretch, and get fresh air? Consider asking a friend to dog sit for a small fee. Have you called around to different kennels, some are not as expensive as you would think.

Thats disgusting! Let me know when you leave so I can call animal control………

I think you are insane and cruel for even considering it.
Get a pet sitter or board the dog properly. If you can’t afford that, then your dog needs a new home.

You should be reported to humane society if you do.
May 14th, 2009 at 12:18 pmFirst 7″ is not big enough for even short term.
If you can’t afford boarding, hire a dog-sitter.
A dog needs to be fed small amounts regularly.
And they have to be ‘exercised’ 2-3 times daily.
Water has to be changed fresh daily.

I think trolls should be kept in a cage for three days.

I think you are smoking crack

What you are considering doing is a crime!!! Its not only immoral, but abusive. You do not deserve your dog for even considering such a thing.
Would you leave your child locked in the bathroom for three days with only a pile of food and toilet water to drink? I certainly hope not.
Your dog would most likely die, and even if the dog didn’t die, the waste from being left in the cage for 3 days unattended will kill her, sicken her ( which will cost you more money to deal with) or she will hopefully make so much noises your neighbors will call the police who will track your behind down and book you into the nearest and smallest jail cell known to man!

NO. Would you want to be locked up for three days? She’ll be forced to eat in the same place as she does her business. If you absolutely think you can’t take her to the vet or someone who does boarding for a couple of days. You need to find someone who will keep her or who will come over to walk her and let her out four or five times a day. And you should pay them. If you knew the job would involve trips, you never should have gotten a dog if you were going to be unavailable to care for them.

May 24th, 2009 at 7:49 amDo you want to be put in a cage for 3days?

happpy business trip!!

Would you like to be put in a cage with that much room for 3 days? No animal is meant to be caged for that kind of time. The fact that you even consider this worries people. It may be that your schedule is too hectic for a dog so maybe you should consider finding a new home for it.

Don’t feed the trolls.

If you’re not joking the answer is NO. Get a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker to take care of her. Keeping her crated for 3 days is NOT an option.

sounds cruel to me, how would u like it”

I hope this is a joke, if it is ,it is not funny. If it is not you should get educated on how to care for animals properly or get rid of any animals you have.

Ok, so you got everybody into a tizzie with this question, so now move along to another answers section and work some more people up. Your question isn’t even worth a response to so Bye-Bye!!!
June 12th, 2009 at 7:14 amPrinceDog to you
no not acceptable.
June 13th, 2009 at 5:36 amScout
I hope your kidding!!!! The dog needs to go out and potty!!! Either have someone watch the dog or take it with you.
June 15th, 2009 at 4:36 amjade
I think you may be joking. Because that is crazy………..That is inhumane and if people find out that you did that, you can be reported and be given sitations and even jail time for inhumane behavior.
