Spring has definitely sprung and with the warming of the season rapidly approaching, travel plans can quickly mount up. While we all would love to take our four-legged friend along for the ride, as would they love to join us, it’s not always the best choice.
Sometimes, regardless of how hard your baby begs, boarding is the only option. When choosing the best boarding facility for your pet there are several things to consider, price tags included. Keeping your pet healthy and safe is of the utmost importance. Numerous tips can aid in locating the best recession-friendly facility for your furry family member.
Researching your destination is not the only planning that should be done pre-vacation bliss. Selecting a boarding facility that best suits your pet’s personality is key. Have a Woofstock type wiener-dog that isn’t really into all the fuss? Try your local veterinary office. At lower cost than most boarding facilities, vet’s offices often provide adequate boarding facilities where dogs are frequently fed and walked. Does your pet have a strict regime of diet and medication? Veterinarians are the perfect place to assure that your pet doesn’t stray from their schedule. Oftentimes, vet’s offices provide grooming services post-boarding because even easy going pups enjoy a little pampering.
Perhaps you have a more finicky four-legged friend, a princess Pomeranian or a spunky Bichon. There is a whole world of luxury boarding facilities for you to explore. While selecting the perfect facility for your dog or cat there are several tips to consider. First, evaluate the staff at your choice boarding facilities. Assuring that your chosen pet hotel is professionally managed and the staff is properly trained is crucial to your peace-of-mind.
Comfort is the next tip to consider during the selection process. Different pets have different needs based upon their lifestyle at home. Is there a fenced-in run for your pet to stretch its legs? What type of bedding or scratching post is provided for your cat? Look for a facility that equally matches your pet’s accommodations at home.
Furthermore, we all know that safety is a top concern when choosing where to leave your pet. To ensure the health and safety of your pet, inquire about vaccination requirements. Just like your overseas vacation, this will guarantee that your pet doesn’t bring home any foreign illnesses.
