[/caption]When boarding your dog, you never want to traumatize either yourself or your dog. To avoid any discomfort, here are some things to consider when choosing a boarding kennel for your pup.
Since some dogs (other people's dogs, of course!) tend to have aggressive behaviors, you want to board your pup with someone who knows how to handle such dogs.
Since wood tends to hold odors, bacteria, and other potentially unhealthy residual matter, a wood constructed kennel shouldn't be your first choice. Does the kennel receive sufficient sunlight? Sunlight is healthy! How are the runs constructed? Is there ample room? Your dog should not have to share a kennel run with another dog.
What to look for when you are boarding your pet is rather simple, if you read these below tips:
- Check more than one boarding house.
- Compare the cost of the boarding houses you have looked into. You are looking for a moderately priced boarding house for your pet.
- When choosing to board your pet you should choose a facility that has no more than ten pets at a time. The facility should also be able to comfortably house those ten pets. This type of place offers a better likelihood of giving your pet individual attention and care, as opposed to an over-crowded and under-staffed place.
- You also have the option of boarding your pet with a private person. A private pet sitter usually allows the pet to stay in their home, and they treat the pet as if it was theirs while you are gone.
• No matter where you choose to board your pet you should always personally check out the facility beforehand. Once you have found the place to board your pet, you will need to introduce your pet to the staff, as well as the other "tenants".
