2 Ways To Find A Good Boarding Kennel For Your Dog

Posted on: 29 July 2021

If you are getting ready to go on vacation and you have a dog, you need to figure out what you are going to do with them. There are times when taking your dog with you on vacation will work out, but there are more times that taking them on vacation isn't going to be a good thing. When that happens, you need to find someone to take care of your dog, or you need to find a good boarding kennel. But, finding a good kennel isn't always easy, and there are a lot of choices out there. How do you figure out which one will work best for you?

Schedule a Visit

One thing that you can do that will help you figure out if a boarding kennel is right for you is to schedule an appointment to go visit. Ideally, you should take your dog with you. When you go visit them, you are looking for several things. That includes things like how clean the facility is, if there is a posted cleaning schedule, how the employees interact with the animals, and what size the physical kennels are. You should also check to make sure that there is outside space for the animals to play. Make sure to ask questions of the employees while you are there, including how much experience everyone has. If your dog has special needs, like a special diet or medicine, ask the employees how they handle those things. 

Ask Around

Another thing that you can do is to ask around to see if anyone has any recommendations. That means talking to friends and family if they have used boarding kennels. You can also talk to your vet to see if there is anywhere that they can recommend. You can also search social media. Many boarding kennels will have pages on various social media sites. People will have made comments about the kennel on those pages, and that will let you get a good idea as to what other people think of the kennel. The more information you can gather from people who have actually used any particular kennel, the better a decision you will be able to make. 

You want to make sure that your dog is going to be healthy and happy while you are on vacation. One way to do that is to find a pet kennel. Doing a little due diligence will make it easy to make sure that your pet is in a safe place.
