Questions You Should Ask When Boarding Your Pets

Are You Ready For Pet Boarding?

Questions You Should Ask When Boarding Your Pets

Here are some questions to ask when boarding your pets:

Where will your pet stay?
You should know where your pet will stay while at the boarding facility. Ask to have a tour of the facility to make sure that the facility is organized, neat and odor-free.

How often will your pet be walked or exercised?
Boarding facilities usually let the dogs out twice a day and for a few minutes only. This may not be a problem if your pet is used to this routine. But if you want your pet to get more exercise, find a boarding facility that allows more exercise time –  3 walking times daily or more. Also learn if there is a fenced-in area where your pet can have room to roam a bit.

What will your pet eat?
Boarding your pet can be stressful, even for those who have been boarded a few times. The best way to avoid stressing your pet while on board is to bring his food. Check if there is additional charge to feed a special diet. Make sure to stress on the importance of giving your pet his regular food.

Will your pet be allowed to interact with other pets?
Ask the boarding facility about their rules regarding dog playtime. This includes their policies if an injury occurs.

What will happen if your pet will get sick or injured?
Boarding facilities should monitor the daily habits of their pet boarders. Some pet boarding facilities will do a daily “once-over” on their pet boarders to ensure there have been no tell-tale changes in their physical condition. This usually holds true for a boarding facility that is part of a veterinary hospital. Inquire if it is possible to bring your pet to your own vet if he needs medical attention.

How much is pet boarding going to cost?
When you plan on your vacation, make sure to include a budget for your pet’s boarding. Be direct with the pet boarding facility up-front. Inquire on the base boarding fee per day. This is typically based on the size and breed of dog you have.

Why Do Dogs Pant?

Why Do Dogs Pant?

Dogs are created to handle heat in a different way than humans do.

Dogs only have very few sweat glands. That is why you don’t see these pets sweating off on their furs. These animals swear on their paw pads and less furry areas. But the main way to cool off for dogs is through panting.

Panting is quick, shallow breathing which enhances the water evaporation from the tongue, mouth and upper respiratory tract. Evaporation dissipates heat as water vapor.

It somewhat sounds like magic.

A normal breathing rate of a dog is at 30 to 40 beats per minute. A panting dog can take 300 to 400 breaths per minute but needs little effort. Panting does not expend more energy because of the lungs’ natural elasticity. Panting also does not create additional heat.

So the next time you see your dog panting, it just needs to cool off.

How Do You Choose A Pet Boarding Facility?

How Do You Choose A Pet Boarding Facility?

Get Solid Recommendations

Ask friends, family and even pet expert for their suggestions. Ask them about their experience on pet boarding.

Do Your Own Research

When you have come up with a list of recommended pet boarding facilities, research each one. Read the online reviews.

Take Time To Visit Each Pet Boarding Facility

It is important not skip this step. Have enough time to tour the kennel and also ask questions. Find out about schedules, exercise times, meals and vaccination requirements. Ask for a price list.

For Long Trips, Allow A Trial Run

If you are planning for a long trip, try boarding your pet for just one night – do this well way ahead of your departure date. This trial run will let you know how your pet reacts to the experience.
