Bringing Pet Dog Back To Japan

Hello so I live in Tokyo and I bought my dog at a pet store in Tokyo. However, something has come up and I may need to return to Canada for a few days then return. I was wondering if it is easier to leave my dog at a pet hotel rather than bringing it with me. Any information would be helpful. My dog is 8 months old.

I find pet hotels extremely depressing and always use a pet sitter for my cats, instead. I am not sure whether that is a practical solution for your dog, but here is the link to the service I always use: http://www.petsitter.co.jp/

Of course it would be easier to leave a dog at home than cart an animal half way across the globe. Lets no even go into paperwork and quanetine process by two.
Get a pet setter or neighbour to help.

Bringing your dog with you to Canada and then back to Japan would be a major burden on your dog (don't forget the quarantine procedures).
Whether you opt for a pet hotel (there will be staff available at all times, and they might be opportunities for your dog to play with other dogs) or a pet-sitter (they come to your home once or twice a day to walk and feed your dog) depends on your dog's personality, whether he is OK by himself or prefers company. Seeing that your dog is still pretty young, I might lean toward a pet hotel where there will be constant company, but that is for you to decide.
(And for cats, yes we always arrange for a pet-sitter for our cats, as they tend to hate any change in their immediate surroundings/environment; dogs - generally speaking - have different preferences.)
In either case, you'd want to meet the pet-sitter in advance to see if you (and your dog) get along with them, and you'd want to visit the pet hotel in advance to see the actual environment.
