Hi, I' m reporter for an online animal healthcare magazine called VetCentric (see http://www.vetcentric.com) and I'm working on an article about taking pets on your boat. I saw some information about this subject on your website and was wondering if you'd be willing to answer a few questions, either by e-mail or phone. If you are interested, I have included my questions below so please send me your responses or spend me your phone number and the best time to call. My deadline is Monday morning. Thanks for your time. 1) First of all what is your first and last name, town and state; and what kind of pet do you have? 2) When did you first decide to take your pet on a boat? Did he or she like it at first? Was he scared? How did you get her used to the boat? 3) Do you think any dog can be taught to like boats? How can others tell if their dog will make a good boating buddy? 4) Do you know many people who also take their pets on board? Why do they like having their pet along? What are the benefits? What do they do about taking the pets to the bathroom? 5) Are there different sizes of lifejackets available for cats, little dogs and large dogs? Do the animals object to wearing them? Do you recommend a certain type as being safer or easier to use? Do you have to get the animals used to the jackets? If so what tips do you have? 6) Do the animals enjoy riding on the boat? Do you know any cats that go on boats? 7) Are there any other precautions or equipment needed to bring a pet on a boat? 8) Is there anything else you feel is important to add? Thanks again!
