up everywhere. And with the ever growing need to boardings
for dogs, the number will surely go up. But not all dog boarding
kennels are as per the required standards of quality. You
do not want to risk your dog getting sick or being unhappy.
Please read our page on dog boarding for detailed information
on pet boarding for dogs. While deciding on which one suits
you and your dog best, please find out as much as possible
about the dog boarding to prevent future disturbances. Here
are some important questions that will help you cover all
details:

big dogs?
- How often will the dogs’ be taken out, for how long
and where?
- Are additional walks or playtime provided for with an
additional fee?
- What will my dog be fed and how often? Will he have an
individual food/water bowl?
- Will I be allowed to bring my dogs’ favorite food,
toy or his bed?
- Does the kennel staff fully understand my pet’s
dietary and medical needs?
- How often will my dog be bathed? Will there be an additional
fee for this?
- Will somebody be staying with the animals during the night?

of pets prior to boarding?

my pet be safe from these parasites?

You will feel better leaving your dog behind if you know
that your dog is well-looked after. You can concentrate on
that business meeting much better or enjoy your holiday better-
so although dog boarding may be expensive, it gives you peace
of mind. If you choose to leave your dog with a relative or
a friend, you need to ensure that enough is known about dog
care and if they have a dog of their own, check if the required
vaccines, etc. have been administered.
