* Start boarding your pet at the kennel at an early age. If you wait until your pet is older to take them to the boarding kennel, they might have a difficult time adjusting. If you are taking an old dog to the kennel for the first time, we suggest trying out the kennel for a weekend.
* Before it's time to kennel your pet, go and look at all the boarding kennels. Only you can decide which boarding kennel is for you.
* When you take your dog to check in at the boarding kennel, make sure you have your dog on a leash. It's safer for him and it's our rule.
* Make sure that the whole kennel, outdoor and indoor runs included, is clean and orderly.
* Ask the kennel what you should bring. We encourage people to bring in treats, toys, or special food.
* Make sure the temperature is adequate, not too warm and not too cold. Ask to see the outdoor running area. It should be close to spotless.
* The outdoor runs(and the whole kennel) should be very secure. Many dogs will attempt to break out, so talk to the kennel owners about this if you're worried.
* When you check in your pet at the boarding kennel, bring in your most recent vaccination certificates.
* Give the kennel operator as much information as possible about your pet, along with past health problems and any medications that your pet might be on.
* When checking in at the boarding kennel, try not to make your pet feel like he's being left behind. Try not to have tears or any guilty feelings as your pet will sense your feelings and will think that something's wrong. He may become frightened and fearful, thinking that you are abandoning him, and will have a difficult adjustment period for the first day or two. The best thing to do is to reassure your pet that everything is fine and tell him that you will see him soon.
* Check out the kennel policies and hours before you drop off your pet. Try to understand and follow them.
Take the time to ensure your pet is well cared for in your absence.
