When the time comes for a vacation, and there are no means to travel somewhere far away, the best option would be to spend time in nature. This will allow you to take a break from the noise of the city, travel, see the sights of the surrounding places, spend time in the fresh air. In addition to the health benefits, such a pastime allows a person to relax, escape from the hustle and bustle of big cities, and relieve stress. Now it’s not necessary to have a summer cottage or your own home for going out, but you can simply rent a room or a cottage for several weeks somewhere in the region.
Reasons to spend a vacation in nature
The constant noise of a big city has an extremely negative effect on a person. Fatigue builds up in the body, which is caused by tedious, monotonous work, the constant noise of people and cars around, not subsiding even at night. Bright lights also adversely affect fatigue. Gradually, the brain overflows, starts to work worse, and the best thing you can do is to go for a couple of weeks to nature, where you can not only be in silence, but also go in for sports, go fishing or just have a good time with friends.
It has long been known that a walk through the woods relieves stress much better than antidepressants. According to recent studies, people who spend their free time in nature are less prone to pressure drops, visual impairment and aggression, they recover more quickly from stressful situations and experience less mental fatigue. So getting out into the countryside is a great way to not only have a great time, but also improve your health.
Rest with animals in the suburbs
Moreover, for residents of the capital it is not necessary to go somewhere in the hinterland to find beautiful places in order to spend time in nature. The Moscow Region is a huge region in which there are places touched by man only to the extent that they provide comfortable living and a good rest.
But what if a pet lives at home, and there is no one to leave him with, and you don’t want to? After all, pets do not tolerate separation from the owner very well, and the family itself often perceives the pet as one of its members. Leaving him in the wrong hands and going to rest - this may not be all. Therefore, many families are forced to stay at home on vacation.
But in the modern world, an animal does not become an obstacle to a trip to nature: there are hotels, hotels, recreation centers and boarding houses that will gladly accept not only people, but also their pets. Rest in the suburbs with a dog, cat or other pets can be arranged quite simply: you can check into a room in a hotel designed to stay with animals, or rent a house at the camp site. There are many options, and when planning to visit any of the hotels in the region, you need to consider not only the quality and services provided, but also the location. After all, you can combine business with pleasure, walking with your pet in the old city or visiting architectural monuments, healing springs and much more. When collecting on the road, you need to consider not only your needs, but also your pet.
Things to take care of when you are about to
What is needed when resting with a dog in the suburbs? Of course, a person’s luggage must be selected depending on the destination and weather. But you should take care not only about yourself, but also about the pet, follow its health and mood.
The number one danger is ticks. For dogs, ticks are very dangerous and harmful creatures, and, most importantly, they often and easily fall onto their skin, clinging to the coat. There are special drops and collars against ticks and, going to nature in the summer, spring or autumn, it is undoubtedly worth taking care of this issue.
If you are going for a winter holiday, then for dogs with short hair and breeds bred for keeping in the apartment, it is worth taking clothes. Usually the owners of such animals already have it, it is in it that they walk on the street.
Another point that needs to be followed is the nutrition of your pet. Usually, employees of hotels and recreation centers take it upon themselves, but it is better to find out for sure. In addition, they need to be consulted about what the animal eats, so that it continues to receive the usual diet, without noticing any special changes.
Interesting places

Possibility to rent a cottage
Most hotels, complexes and camp sites have the opportunity to settle in the room or in a separate cottage.

Firstly, the cottages are designed for 4-6 people, that is, they can be entered by the whole family. Secondly, in many places, pets are only possible in the cottage.
