Places dogs can run free of leads by yeti1952

Hi folks we have 2 Spanish Water Dogs and are wondering if anyone knows of woods or lakes even beaches where they could run free. We live in Mont Choisy but would travel to allow the dogs more freedom. Thanks Martin

WinstonH

Hello, My best recommendation would be sugar cane fields, when there are no people working. Beaches I won't recommend as the regulations can be blurry most of the times and they are always packed with people and you would want to avoid any ... Read More

Such routine vaccinations are given to kids in Mauritius yes but not sure about expats' kids. You need to call in at a hospital or local dispensary or check with your general practitioner if you have one in Mauritius. You will be advised. Read More

Accommodation by Mushanguri

If you are working around Avenue Kiwi, Candos and Quatre-Bornes ,which areas are the best to find accommodation? Preferably somewhere you can easily find public transport and access to shopping places ,day cares and hospitals

WinstonH

Vacoas, Quatres Bornes, Trianon, Ebene or Moka. It's literally the center and most urbanised region of the island with lots to do - shopping, eating out, cinema, nightlife, etc and good public transport if you will need it. Read More
