The corona lockdown also presents dog owners with new challenges.
Because if you are in quarantine, you are not allowed to take your pet for a walk.
A dog takes your loneliness out of the corona pandemic.
But if the dog owner is suddenly in quarantine, that brings challenges.
The last resort is a boarding house.
But for some dog owners this is out of the question.
Dorfen
- Exactly 654
dogs
are registered with the city of Dorfen.
Increasingly, it currently meets young dogs on the known
Gassi
-Runden the catch basin, towards Upper Villages or at the flour mill.
Simple reason:
home office
.
But if mistress and master are in
quarantine
, they are no longer allowed to go for a walk.
That creates
problems
.
Because dogs need a lot of exercise.
Corona in Dorfen: Quarantine is becoming a challenge for dog owners
Anyone who is in quarantine is not allowed to step outside the front door.
A
dog owner
from Dorfen (name known to the editors) would not have known how
else to fulfill
his
master duties
.
So he pulled a scarf low over his face during his quarantine and went anyway at off-peak times.
Another village woman, who does not want to be named, is also clear: "If I have to be in
quarantine
, I go out with my dog at five in the morning and after ten in the evening - even if it is
forbidden
." She believes that many dog owners currently act like that.
"Thickly covered with a mask and scarf, you don't infect anyone."

Olga Braumer from Dorfen also fulfilled her childhood dream of the dog: "I got a Labrador puppy," says the 32-year-old.
"I've been going for walks a lot since spring -
I'm
not so alone
with
my
dog
during
social distancing,
" reports the
single woman
.
Tobias and Silke Schaller have bought a young second dog.
Only recently, the event manager, who has mainly worked as a househusband and looks after the children since Corona, caught a bad cold: "Thank God just a tonsillitis," says the Dorfener after the doctor's visit.
"With

we would have
a problem
with two
dogs

Dog owners in quarantine: vet confirms the problem
The
issue
also sees the Taufkirchener veterinarian Dr.
Christian Aigner.
"Small dogs can go into the garden - big animals need more exercise." Relatives or friends would have to step in if the
worst
comes to the
worst
, and there are
also walkers
who go for a walk with the animals.
If there is no other way, the dog has to go to a
boarding house
.
“This is of course an emergency solution.
The animals don't understand what's going on.
Some dogs put away the boarding house without any problems, others are unhappy.
But the animals are kept busy, and mistress and master come back. "
Quarantine in the Erding district: animal boarding is not an option for dog owners
A boarding house is
not an option
for Nicole Schönheit from Dorfen
: “My mixed breed is fixated on me.
Lulu would suffer extremely. "In the event of a quarantine, beauty relies on her friend:" I let the dog into the garden, there it will be picked up. "
The second corona lockdown also hits Therme Erding hard. Instead of bathers, workers and craftsmen now run around in the largest wellness facility in the world. Some Erdinger parents do not want the early Christmas present - the early vacation - from Prime Minister Markus Söder. They see exhausted vacation and other gaps in the provision of material as problems.
