Selecting a boarding facility

Selecting a boarding facility

Stop by a boarding facility and visit with the owner.  Get acquainted with the people who will be caring for your dog.  Ask questions; take nothing for granted. Are toys or bedding welcome?  How will your dog be exercised? What will the facility feed my dog? Talk about safety features.  Discuss frankly any qualms you may have about boarding. They will appreciate your frankness and interest.

The experienced staff members at the facility are trained to recognize the warning signs of potential health problems and will contact a veterinarian if they feel it is called for.  Many times it is easier for the pet care provider to detect problems than it is for the owner of the dog.
