Heading away on holiday without your dog can be a stressful time for both you and your dog. Leaving your dog in a happy and safe boarding environment means you'll be able to enjoy your time away knowing they are receiving the best care possible. However we recognise that choosing the right boarding kennel can be a confusing process. We've identified some of the key things to look for.
A Good Fit for Your Dog
Choose a boarding kennel that fits your pet's natural behaviour. If your dog is used to being indoors for most of the day, look for a facility with a focus on indoor homely comforts. Conversely, for dogs used to spending time outside, a kennel with lots of room to play and exercise outdoors will be a great option.
Safety and Security
Check that the kennel is secure enough to keep your dog safely contained. If your dog is prone to escaping, look for opportunities to climb, jump fences or dig underneath.
Supervision
You want to be confident that pets at the boarding facility are checked frequently. Leaving dogs unattended overnight isn't ideal so make sure there is a staff member on site 24 hours, every day of the week. Also ensure there's a proper procedure for supervising the introduction of doggy guests to one another. When it's done well, your dog will enjoy making new friends.
Clean and Happy Environment
Is the kennel kept tidy and clean with plenty of space? Do the other dogs in their care seem happy? A good boarding facility will insist your dog has all its vaccinations but also ask what their procedure is if your dog gets taken ill - you need to trust that it will be well taken care of.
