Vacation Destinations That Will Pay You to Visit
There are only a few cases when a cone might not help a scratched or injured patient. If a pet has a tip-of-tail injury, they may find a way to bite or lick it, which creates a good environment for bacteria to grow and cause problems. This is especially a problem for cats, who have sandpaper-like tongues! I know it can be a little heartbreaking to see a cone on your best friend. Trust me, we don’t like it any more than you do! But even when we howl, moan, or lie in defeat, it’s very important to keep the collars on until the doctor says you can take them off. Even if you only take it off for a day, a pet can still do significant damage to their wounds in a short time.
In the wake of COVID-19, tourist destinations worldwide have been hit hard. To lure travelers back, some places are offering steep discounts and other incentives throughout all of 2021. With cheap airfare and great deals on accommodations, tours, food, and more, you can take a luxury vacation on a dime this year. Mexican Caribbean Few words evoke the image of beaches, sun, and saltwater like “Cancun” does. This Mexican locale has become synonymous with leisure, as have other destinations in the Caribbean — beautiful places like Isla Mujeres or the Riviera Maya. Tourists can visit all of them at a steep discounted rate until the end of 2021 thanks to promotions from the Hotel Association of Cancun and the Quintana Roo Tourism Promotion’s council. Head to En.Come2MexicanCaribbean.com to find vouchers for two free nights in a hotel for every two you pay for, steeply discounted airfare, and even options for free food and drinks. Thai Paradise Although it’s no longer the hidden destination it once was, there are still a lot of good reasons to visit Thailand. In addition to being an affordable place to travel, Thailand also has great food and an amazing climate. To make up for the financial hit due to suspended travel because of the virus, the Cape Fahn Hotel is offering incentives into 2021 including a complimentary upgrade to the next class of care, which gives economy spenders access to executive accommodations. Other incentives include free meals, round-trip airport service, and discounted beach picnics and boat tours. Check out CapeFahnHotel.com/offers for more information. Whistler, British Columbia Although this destination in British Columbia might be known for its winter activities, there’s a lot to love about Whistler in late spring and early summer! One great thing? The amazing array of money-saving options you can find here. The Riverside Resort, for example, is offering mountain-view cabins at a 3-for-2 discount —pay for two nights and get a third for free! Traveling to Canada can be tricky at the moment, but if you use a good travel agent, you can take advantage of some great deals. Other incentives in the region include free meals (or a per diemmeal rebate) as well as discounts on guided tours.
If you feel bad for your bestie while they’re wearing a cone, or if your pet is acting adversely to it, there are ways you can comfort them. First, try your best to comfort them with the ways you know how. Give them a treat, go for a walk, or even play while it’s still on. It’ll take some time for your pet to get used to it, but they will. An important check when your pet is wearing a cone is whether they can eat or drink with it on. On the first day, hold up the food bowl to their mouths before laying it on the ground, and see whether they can continue eating. If the cone prevents them, try elevating the food bowl or use a smaller bowl that’ll fit in the cone. If your pet’s cone really has you and your pet down, make the cone a little more fun! I loved the cow-patterned cone that a schnauzer wore the other day. I thought the cone was moo-nifacient! Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you next time.
