If you’re planning a vacation or work trip out of town, you’ll need to make accommodations for your pets. Bar-King Dog Kennel, Keaau, HI’s premier pet boarding and quarantine facility, says while you could hire a neighbor or friend to keep an eye on your dog or cat while you’re away, consider taking them to a pet boarding facility instead to ensure they’re getting quality attention and care.

Take a look at these top five benefits pet boarding facilities offer:

• Professional Care: Why leave your pets in the care of anyone but a professional animal caretaker? When you take your dog, cat, bird, or other beloved pet to a boarding facility, you can have peace of mind knowing that they’ll be well cared for by highly trained pet caretakers.
• Safe: Pet boarding facilities are built with animal safety in mind, so there’s no better place to leave your pets than here. Most pet boarding facilities offer individual kennels with outdoor and indoor play spaces built with the highest security measures.
• Medical Attention: If your pet takes medications, the caretakers at a pet boarding facility will make sure they are given as per your exact directions. And, if your pet has any special needs, such as being hearing impaired, they will give them the extra care and attention they need to ensure their overall well-being while you’re gone.
• Playtime: Instead of keeping your pets cooped up inside your home while you’re away, take them to a pet boarding facility where they’ll have room to run daily. If you have a dog, many pet boarding facilities even offer playtime with other dogs, as long as they are friendly.
• Nutrition: A pet boarding facility will make sure your dog or cat is fed when needed, and will even supply them with the food you bring. If they have special nutritional requirements, pet boarding caretakers will be able to meet their needs.
