Are you staying in Alpine?? Alpine is TINY! We're talking less than 1,000 people. Here is a vet I found that has a website: Home they also offer boarding.
Wish I could help more but Wyoming's a pretty sparse place! |
Thanks for the kennel recommendation. I can't get to their website because it is blocked at work, but I'll check it out when I get home.
I just mapquested Jackson to Alpine and it's 45 minutes!!!! Holy cow, I'm going to be in teh boonies. 45 min from the nearest town!!!! Dear God, what am I getting into? I am going ot be staying in Alpine because my DH has family there. They are actually big game hunters, so we'll be living in a house filled with stuffed animals. Literally, stuffed.

I take my babies EVERYWHERE....and have yet to get in trouble for it.
The main reason dogs aren't allowed on the boardwalks isn't necessarily because they attract wild animals...its because there have been several deaths because dogs have gotten loose....stepped off the boardwalks onto very dangerous ground...fallen thru the thin layer of crust...into boiling hot water and owners have died trying to save them. Those areas are clearly marked...so if it were ME...I would get a breathable backpack..and just put your baby in it. If you plan on putting it in a carrier that is NOT fully enclosed...just make sure your baby cannot jump out. Make SURE he/she is tethered somehow so that you don't have to worry about it jumping out or getting loose. That's where the danger lies.
And don't worry about anything else....there is NO way I'd put my baby in doggie daycare...OR leave it in the car.....UNLESS there are some that don't want to get out...and opt to stay in the car at certain areas....then the air conditioner will hopefully be left on...There are so many other areas you can take your baby...It shouldn't affect your visit one bit!!
Just remember to bring lightweight jackets or hoodies....for the evenings...because even if it's very hot during the day...it always cools off at night and it can get chilly. I'd bring a little jacket for your baby too! 
Have a great time...and take LOTS of pictures!!! |
Thanks for the advice, Wabbit. I wasn't sure what the boardwalks were --- but I knew they were unlike the beach boardwalks I am used to. But they go over boiling hot springs? I would definitely keep Meg locked up tight-tight-tight.
So you said that dogs aren't allowed in Mammoth... that is one of my stops. Do you konw if the hike to the geyser is a big one? I might be able to leave Meg in the hotel for the morning, but of course then I get worried that someone will steal her out of the hotel room.
I'm also stopping at "Lake Yellowstone Village." Any clue as to the dog-friendliness of this area? THANK YOU!!!!
