Thinking about putting your best friend into a dog boarding facility can seem heartbreaking at first, but if you find the right dog boarding facility, it can actually turn into a dream and not heartbreak. Here at Dog Day Getaways we’ll give you our top 3 tips on how to find the best dog boarding facility for you. Hopefully this will guide you in making the best choice for your family pet.
Check out the staff
This may seem obvious, but you can really get a good sense of a dog boarding facility by the staff. Look for passion, enthusiasm, knowledge and a complete and utter love for our canine friends. It’s easy to spot a ‘dog person’ and you’ll know when you speak to them on the phone or if you go and visit them, which we highly recommend. At Dog Day Getaways we offer dog boarding Burnsville MN, dog boarding Lakeville MN, dog boarding Eagan MN and dog boarding Minneapolis MN.
Vaccinations and Health
It is absolutely critical that the dog boarding facility you choose insists on all dogs being up to date on their vaccinations. This should be a non-negotiable. If they don’t then they’re not worthy of even considering. At Dog Day Getaways all our dogs must have documented proof of Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations. We also require that dogs that are 7 months or older must be spayed or neutered. They should also be on a regular flea and tick preventative as well as a heart worm preventative. We also highly recommend getting a Lepto vaccine too.
Check out the facilities
When you’re looking for dog boarding Burnsville MN, dog boarding Lakeville MN, dog boarding Eagan MN and dog boarding Minneapolis MN you must check out the facilities. There should be plenty of light and good ventilation. Does each dog have its own kennel or are all kenneled together? Is there space for play? Are the runs private or public? Is it clean? Does each dog have an elevated platform with clean bedding so they are not resting on the concrete floor? These are just some of the things to check for.
If you follow these tips, you’ll be sure to find the right boarding facility for your best family friend, and you might find that they’ll love their facility so much they won’t want to come home!
