Introducing Children To Pet Care

As a dog owner, you may do everything that you can to keep your dog content and comfortable at home. However, when you need to board them because you are going on a trip, you may be worried about your ability to make them feel the same way at a dog boarding facility. To provide an ideal experience for your dog, you should prioritize certain pet hotel services when looking around. 

Kennel-Free

If your dog is used to sleeping almost anywhere in the house, you may not want to have them put into a kennel at the end of the day where they must stay from the evening to the morning. It may be difficult for them to sleep in a kennel when they are not used to spending time in one.

To keep this from happening, you should look for a facility that does not use kennels with their dogs, but instead, use private rooms where dogs have a quiet room with furniture to sleep on.

Grooming

While some dogs do not like being groomed, you may notice that your dog loves it whether you are doing it on your own or you hire a professional groomer. This should encourage you to get dog grooming services at a boarding facility because it will help your dog enjoy their stay more.

If you want to make sure that your dog looks clean and well-groomed when they come home, you should consider waiting until one of the last days to get grooming. This way, you will not have to worry about them getting a bit messy while playing around with all the other dogs.

Playtime

Going to a dog park or dog beach may be something that you and your dog enjoy doing because it allows you to relax while you watch your dog play with their own species. This means that you should prioritize lengthy playtime sessions with other dogs at the boarding facility you choose.

Baths

While grooming can be somewhat of an extensive process depending on your dog's size and coat type, giving your dog a bath is often less time-consuming and complicated. If your dog also enjoys being bathed, you may want to fit in a few baths during their boarding stay to make them happy. This will also keep them from wanting to overgroom due to feeling dirty during their stay.

Prioritizing these services will help you feel great about boarding your dog.
