Clever costumes and sweet treats make Halloween a fun night for many families. Since your dog is a beloved member, take the time to make sure he’s safe and happy while you’re out trick or treating. When families across the Big Island need reliable and affordable pet boarding, they count on Bar-King Dog Kennel.

While Halloween is fun for adults and children, it can be a stressful night for dogs. Rather than confining your pet to one room in your home, Bar-King Dog Kennel recommends overnight boarding so your dog can play freely and enjoy some personal attention. How can a dog kennel help you on a busy holiday night? Read on to find out:

3 Reasons To Try Pet Boarding This Halloween

1. Reduces The Risk Of Running Away

If you’re at home on candy duty, your dog may want to follow you to the door every time a trick or treater knocks. The longer you leave the door open to talk with your guests, the easier it is for your dog to slip out unnoticed. Taking your dog out with you when you go trick or treating also presents the risk of running away because the sights and sounds of a busy neighborhood can be overwhelming and frightening for your dog.

2. Keeps Dogs Away From Health Hazards

Animated figurines, faux cobwebs, and jack o’lanterns make your house look spooky, but these decorations can become choking hazards. Your family’s favorite candies can also be harmful to your dog. Ingredients, like chocolate and artificial sweeteners, can be toxic and even lethal in large quantities.

3. Eliminates Boredom

Keeping your dog confined to one room may seem like a solution for one night, but your dog may find himself bored and lonely as the evening progresses. If your dog tends to get destructive when he’s bored, confinement quickly becomes a less attractive solution. Overnight pet boarding gives your dog the opportunity to run and play, then get a good night’s sleep in a relaxing environment.

While you’re making plans with friends and family for Halloween night, remember to also make arrangements for your dog to receive quality overnight care. Visit Bar-King Dog Kennel online to learn more about their pet boarding and grooming services. Call (808) 966-8733 to reserve space for your dog.
