If you are going out of town, pet boarding is an excellent way to ensure your dog or cat receives quality care while you are gone. While you could ask a friend or neighbor to look after your pet, choosing a professional kennel that provides dog boarding or cat boarding ensures that you have someone with experience taking care of your pet.

Here are some things Robinwood Kennel in Highland Heights, KY suggests you consider when deciding if a pet boarding facility is right for you:

• Faculty Conditions: Inspect the pet boarding's facility for cleanliness and its overall atmosphere. Does it look and smell clean? Will your cat or dog receive plenty of light and ventilation? Is the temperature comfortable for the season?
• Knowledgeable & Caring Staff: It is important that the staff at a pet boarding facility is experienced in pet health, and that they will care for your pets in the same manner that you would. Will your dog be given a bed to sleep on? Do they ensure your cat's food is spaced far enough away from its liter box? Feel free to also ask if boarded pets are required to have specific vaccinations, such as the canine kennel cough vaccine.
• Indoor & Outdoor Space: A dog boarding facility should offer plenty of space indoors and outdoors so your dog is able to get plenty of exercise. Does the outdoor space provide adequate protection from wind, rain, and snow? If you are in need of cat boarding, find out if the cats are provided housing away from the dogs and if they will have plenty of room to move around comfortably.
• Special Services: What really sets a pet boarding facility apart from its competition are the extra services provided. Do they offer veterinary services? Will your dog or cat have the option of being groomed or bathed during their stay? 

When you cannot be at home with your pet, make sure to leave them in the best hands.
