How to Select a Boarding Kennel
By Barbara Schwartz
Every day, people face the question of what
to do with their pets when traveling, illness, or
family emergencies disrupt the normal routine.
Because a competent, ethical boarding kennel is
an important part of your pet care program, and
because the selection of a boarding kennel can
be a confusing process, here are a few tips to give
your pet a happy and safe boarding experience,
and enable you to enjoy your time away from
home, content that your pet is receiving the best
care possible.
ASK YOUR VET - this is the primary method of
kennel selection.
RECOMMENDATION OF FRIENDS
customers are the best recommendation that a
kennel can receive. Ask your friends and neighbors
about their experiences.
CHECK WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU
and if any complaints have been lodged against
them.
Another VERY important tip:
TOUR THE KENNEL(S) - Everyone has their
own yardstick. If visiting several doesn’t make
one stand out, call and ask more questions until
it becomes obvious which facility is right for you
and your pet.
Preparing for Boarding:
It is often a good idea to make your reservations
as early as possible. If you wait until the last minute,
you may be disappointed. Make sure that you
understand the kennel’s policy regarding immunizations,
and discuss this with your veterinarian
as well. If bringing medications, special food, or
treats you should consider bringing extra in case
of a disruption in your schedule. Your kennel may
also provide extra services such as play times or
walks. They may also do grooming if wanted.
