Change in bringing your dog on vacation with you?

don't think bringing a pet on vacation to jamaica is a good idea. Im' seen too many sickly looking animals in Jamaica to want to expose any pet to them.

I totally agree. In fact, I will go out on a limb here and say something that some (or maybe even most) may not agree with but "pet" isn't something that most Jamaican people would think to call their animals. Maybe around Negril there may be more but out on the island dogs and the occasional cat are tolerated and fed but not often shown much affection.

Dogs are usually kept to warn of an intruder and cats to chase off rats. Where we mostly like quiet dogs, they mostly want loud, barking dogs.

Just my observation.

Here one of our dogs and cats. The are both pet and working as described by Accompong. The dogs are allowed on the verandah but not in the house except an occasional "nose poke"
