Have you ever noticed that your dog just seems to 'know' as soon as you are planning a vacation, long before you get your suitcase out? Escaping the wrath of winter for a wonderful week in the sun sounds relaxing, however, preparations for leaving can look like a nightmare. Your dog picks up on, and feels, both your stress and excitement and also knows that he will left behind. Even though you make sure he will be taken care of either at a kennel, at a friend's house or by someone staying with him in your home, he will still miss you! This can be very stressful for him. Like us, animals show signs of stress in different ways such as not eating, shedding, behavioral issues, restlessness or listlessness.
Reiki can help your dog to relax, reduce stress and, thereby, alleviate these symptoms both prior to your departure as well as while you are away. Reiki works just as well at a distance as it does in person, therefore, you don't have to worry about making arrangements for a practitioner to visit your dog at the kennel or about someone else coming to your home when you are away. The Reiki sessions can be scheduled for specific times before you leave so you will know while you are away just when he is being offered Reiki. While Reiki will never replace the love and companionship between you and your dog it can certainly help you all feel much better about the separation, making that long overdue vacation more enjoyable for everyone.
