The newest report aims to guide dog owners through the proper precautions that must be taken when leaving their pets in the care of others.
The author of the post highlights anxiety, exercise, food and medicine, health concerns, cleanliness, and reuniting as the main decision-making factors for finding a trustworthy kennel.
The post encourages owners not to worry too much about their canine’s anxiety while away, citing that in a majority of cases dogs will easily adapt to a new environment. Additionally, animals can quickly pick up on a new exercise, eating, and sleeping routine.
The author suggests that, for short durations, physical activity should not be too much of a concern. For longer trips, however, it’s recommended that dog owners consider selecting a larger kennel or paying extra for walks or playtime.
In terms of food and medicine, dog owners should ask about a kennel’s policies before booking. The report notes that because some boarding facilities prefer to feed their own food, owners should be sure to check in advance that this option is both high-quality and will sit well in their dog’s stomach.
Boarding kennels should require that all dogs staying at the facility are up-to-date with their vaccinations. If a canine is being boarded for the first time, owners are required to take a copy of vet records to drop-off.
The report also emphasizes the importance of cleanliness when it comes to choosing a kennel. Owners are encouraged to take a tour before making reservations to ensure that the boarding facility pasts the “sniff test”, meaning there is no strong odor of urine or feces.
Finally, the new blog post informs canine owners to be prepared for an excited and energized pup upon reunion.
