Has anyone ever done a comparison of the cheapest club meds? Or even the cheapest areas of the world? Would likely be in July or August so I know that makes it more expensive. My kids really want to go back to club med and I’m open to anywhere in the world as would combine club med with some time exploring the country. Obviously flights will factor in hugely (I’m from Canada) but ignoring that part - which club meds are cheaper than others? Thank you!

The breeder I am getting an 8 week old puppy from in a couple of weeks has changed their stance and no longer does the first set of vaccinations. They say it’s to give owners the choice in if they want to vaccinate and when. They say they have seen puppies personalities change after getting vaccinated. Are anti-vaxxers a thing for puppies? Do some people not vaccinate their dogs? Is there a benefit in delaying vaccinations? Already seems long to have to wait to take your puppy for a walk until fully vaccinated at 16 weeks if you follow the normal schedule. Are they doing this to save money or is this an actual concern? Thank you!

Update - Thanks everyone for the replies - that was my first thought too. Seems bizarre. Everyone is so concerned about parvo and they aren’t going to even protect them. I’m a first time dog owner so thought I should check and see what the experts think. Thanks for confirming my suspicion.

Getting prepared for my goldendoodle puppy in a few months. I was intending to put the crate in the playpen but it sounds like the crate next to your bed is the preferred option in the beginning. I don’t really want to buy two crates. Can I just have a dog bed in the playpen instead of a crate? Would probably crate them for naps and bedtime in my room then. If I have to leave them home for a bit would I put them in the crate or playpen if this was my setup? Any thoughts on how best to handle it with one crate? Or maybe I need to just buy two. Thank you!
