Pet owners have a great resource when traveling either with or without their pets, to locate dog kennels across the country. For owners, a boarding kennel can provide the surrounding it will need while their owners are away. At BestFriends Pet Care they provide helpful tips on how to choose and locate the right “home away from home” boarding kennel for your pet. You value your pet, so why rely on some unknown, unqualified person to provide care while you are away.
When deciding on placing your pet in a boarding kennel, it is recommended when possible to visit the location unannounced to see the site and see how things are run. Look for the ABKA (American Boarding Kennel Association) membership plaque, and ask if you do not see one. How close are the dog kennels to the other animals? Ask when they clean and how often? Ask what types of playtime the dogs will receive? And very important to ask if the facility requires that all pets have their most current immunizations, as to not put your trusted pet in harmful situation. So a little homework, and research will help you relax and enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is in good hands.
