Dog-friendly New Year

Dog-friendly New Year can be found in Häme! Eerikkilä Sport & Outdoor Resort opens its doors for the third time to pet lovers to offer a calmer turn of the year. What does a pet-friendly New Year look like?

New Year’s is a nightmare for many dogs. Loud sounds and flashes scare many pets. Animals don’t understand what fireworks are about.  Several Eerikkilä employees have their own dog, and this is where the idea of ​​a dog-friendly New Year came from. Right from the beginning, it became clear that it is a service that is needed and this year Eerikkilä Sport & Outdoor Resort serves more than 100 dogs and their families.

In Eerikkilä, dogs have their own peace: shooting rockets in the yard is prohibited. Eerikkilä is located outside the agglomeration, which gives dog lovers a quieter environment to spend the New Year. Here you can find one-night escape from the constant barrage of rockets.  All access packages include accommodation with full care and self-directed activities, but you can book only accommodation for you and your pet.

Eerikkilä Sport & Outdoor Resort has much more to offer than just a calmer New Year’s eve. You can prepare your own food at your apartment or go to a restaurant and enjoy New Year’s delicacies.  The football hall can be reserved for training with dogs, there is a dog-themed quiz around the yard, and Rovio Pet Foods offers treats for canine guests. In case of an emergency, every room has guidance on how to proceed if the dog runs away.

The dog’s New Year can be made easier by making the home a safe fortress for the pet: a quiet cage, the base of the sofa or curling up in another similar space can make the dog feel safe. Familiar background noise such as the TV or radio, closing the curtains and familiar everyday routine can bring comfort to a fearful pet. You should tire the dog out during the day with brain work and use a double leash when going out.

You will find stress free and peaceful New Years eve from Häme!
