Thinking about sending your dog to a kennel can be a nerve-racking ordeal, especially if you’ve never sent your beloved pet to such a place. Your anxious feelings are justifiable! It’s hard to let others care for your furry family member when you aren’t around. Finding an excellent dog boarding facility can be done a couple of ways, such as research, reviews, and personal recommendations.

Making sure you and your pet are both comfortable with the boarding environment is imperative to ensuring a good experience is had, across the board.

Beginning Your Search For An Excellent Pet Boarding Center

One of the most important things you can do when trying to find a trustworthy pet boarding facility for your fur babies is to ask around. Talk to friends, neighbors, and co-workers about where they take their animals when boarding is needed. Compile a list of facility names and conduct a small background check. Even when you know and trust your sources, it is always a good idea to learn about the boarding centers on your own.

Once you’ve narrowed down a few promising kennels, find out whether the facilities require state inspections or not. If they do, look to see if the kennel(s) you’re considering display a license or certificate ensuring that the facility is up to code.

Another item to check off your pet boarding finder list is whether the kennel you’re looking at requires dogs to be up to date on their vaccinations. It’s crucial that your pet is protected from things like kennel cough and other canine diseases. A potential candidate for boarding your fur baby should impose a rule that all dog owners provide proof of vaccinations.

You can also check the Better Business Bureau for the boarding facility’s rating and if there have been any complaints and how they were solved.

Should your pet have any special needs or requirements, it is best to choose a kennel that can provide the type of care that’s suitable.

Things To Look For

Once you’ve narrowed down the pet boarding center that you feel is a good fit, it’s time to schedule a visit to check the place out. Here is a quick list of questions to ask yourself while you tour the facility:

• Does the center look and smell fresh?
• Does the staff seem caring and knowledgeable?
• Are pets required to be up to date on vaccinations?
• Is there adequate space for pets to play, eat, and sleep?
• How often are pets fed?

This is just a shortlist to get you started. Consider compiling your own questions.
