• Vacation is a time to unwind and escape the
  business of everyday life, and unfortunately,
  sometimes we cant bring our dogs along with us.
  In those instances, when we are unable to bring
  our pups on vacation, why not allow them to stay
  somewhere just as enjoyable? Boarding your pup
  when youre out of town is a great way to ensure
  your dog comprehensively cared for you while
  youre away. To keep both vacations as
  stress-free as possible, here are 5 things that
  you can do to prepare your dog for boarding.

Boarding Trials

• If your pup is prone to separation anxiety,
  it is a great idea to plan a trail boarding stay.
  The trial will last 24 hours and eases your dog
  into a new environment and a new daily routine,
  doing the same for those of us who are on the
  anxious end. You may find that your dog and
  yourself adjust much better when it comes time
  for a longer stay.

Adjust Your Pups Sleeping Habits

• If your pup sleeps in your bed each night,
  you can assume theyll be upset when sleeping
  alone at a facility. Try your best to get them
  adjusted to sleeping by themselves. If they cry
  when sleeping alone, you can expect them to cry
  when boarded.

Keep Your Pup Comfy

• Regardless of the creature comforts the
  boarding facility you have chosen provides, such
  as TVs or great play facilities, there is nothing
  like the comfort of home. Bring a familiar
  blanket or cushion for your pup to sleep on. It
  can assist them in feeling more secure. Some
  facilities will allow you to bring your dogs
  bed, so make sure to ask in advance.

Drop Offs In The Morning

• If your schedule allows for it, drop your pup
  off at the boarding facility earlier in the
  morning. This gives your dog the entire day to
  not only adjust to their new surroundings but
  also play and tire themselves out before it is
  time to wind down and sleep for the night.

Visit Your Pups Vet

• It is vital and considerate to others dogs
  that you de-flea and worm your dog. It would be
  best to keep vaccinations up to date and even
  update them at least two weeks before boarding.
  Both of these precautions are commonly required
  before boarding.
• Follow these tips, and you will help your
  dog have a more enjoyable stay, and you can enjoy
  your vacation with peace of mind, just how it was
  meant to be.
