With renovations underway, the entire family goes on holiday — including Scotty, who is treated to some five-star pooch pampering.
While Bruce, Andrew and Alison soak up the sun on Stradbroke Island, Scotty will be treated to some five star attention of his own. Rebecca knows just the place for a little pooch pampering, so he won't feel distressed while separated from the family. The Hanrob Pet Care Centre will treat Scotty like a king — a King Charles Spaniel that is.
Scotty was a Christmas present to Alison in 1998. He has never moved home and never stayed in a kennel, so this is a stressful time for both pooch and the owners. To make Scotty's trip a little easier, he took along a few familiar items. With a little help from the owners, Rebecca picked out some of his favourite toys and sheepskin bedding.
Hanrob Pet Care Centre offers a unique concept in animal care. It has first rate accommodation and services, staffed by professionals in the pet care industry for over 17 years. Scotty was greeted by pet behaviourist, Steve Austin. After a quick tour of the kennels, he's taken to one of four executive suites. Scotty's plush room comes complete with TV, piped soothing music, heating and a ceiling fan.
Hanrob is more than a motel, it's also a health resort. During his stay, Scotty paid a visit to the pet salon where he was treated to a quick trim, pedicure, warm bath and groom. When Scotty wasn't relaxing in front of the television with Rebecca, he was playing outside on the jungle-gym.
To ensure full protection for Scotty and all the pets that visit Hanrob, strict vaccination requirements must be met. Pets not vaccinated can't be boarded.

While Hanrob provides excellent accommodation, care and services, there is no place like home. For this reason, it's important to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible when moving to a new property. Steve Austin has some tips for making the move run as smoothly as possible.
Tips for making the move with a pet- Eliminate escape routes in the new property's garden (eg. Holes in fences).
- Walk your pet around the new house and garden so it can explore. Put your dog on a lead so he can discover new smells in a controlled manner — if there are any "scares," your pooch won't be able to run away.
- Familiarise your pet with the neighbourhood. After your dog has spent a few days settling in to the home, take him for a walk on the lead. Repeat the same walk daily so that your dog will find his way home if he ever wanders off.
- Treat your pet to food and a drink on arrival.
- Feed your pet at the same time every day. If he ever runs away from home, chances are he'll will be back for dinner.
- Bring along some familiar items — toys, basket, favourite blanket, etc.
- For more difficult dogs, such as those that take to barking continuously or howling all night, there are a number of options. The secret is to exhaust and occupy. To exhaust, take your dog for long, energetic walks. Do this morning and night if necessary. To occupy, leave behind dog toys for your pet to chew when no-one's at home.
