If you’re planning to go out of town, or if you’re hosting your family over the holidays, it’s best to start looking for a pet boarding company now. At Bar-King Dog Kennel in Keaau, HI, these pet lovers are committed to making your four-legged friend feel comfortable for the entirety of their visit, thus keeping them safe and happy while you’re doing all the cooking and cleaning this season.

Here are a few ways to make sure your pooch is comfy and safe this year at the pet boarding facility:

• Find A Kennel: The first step to keeping your puppy happy over the holidays is choosing a pet boarding company. Look for a service that not only has experience but also a good reputation.
• Visit The Vet: While pet boarding services will usually take care of any last minute vaccinations in-house, it’s smart to schedule an appointment with your vet to ensure your furry friend is up-to-date on vaccinations and overall in a healthy condition.
• Practice At Home: In the months leading up to the start of the new year, try spending more time away from your pet, and place them in their crate whenever possible. By starting with short blocks of time and then growing into eight-hour shifts, you’ll acclimate them to these conditions, reducing chances of anxiety.

Once you’re ready to schedule your dog’s stay at a pet boarding facility, call Bar-King Dog Kennel at (808) 966-8733 or visit them online today. The pet care team will do everything they can to keep your pooch healthy, happy, and safe this season.
