Vacations are a great way to relax, but for many people, leaving their pets behind, even for a week, can diminish the fun they have. If you’re a pet owner, finding the best place to keep your pet safe while you’re away can be a real challenge. After all, you want a dog boarding facility that puts your pup’s interests and comfort first at all times. The team at Bar-King Dog Kennel in Keaau, HI, wants to help. They answer some of the most frequently asked questions about dog boarding, so you’ll know what to expect before you arrive.  

4 Common Questions About Dog Boarding at Your Local Kennel

1. Will My Dog Get Attention?

The hallmark of every great boarding facility is caring staff that interacts with the animals all day, every day. While your pup will have plenty of time to relax and bask in the sun, they’ll also receive plenty of attention from caretakers and other dogs alike. During the day, they’ll have the opportunity to play in the large outdoor yard with other dogs, take a nap in the shade, or even jump in the pool to cool off after a long game of fetch.

2. Do I Need to Bring Their Food?

At Bar-King Dog Kennel, guests are fed Science Diet, free of charge. However, if your pup has a sensitive stomach or dietary restrictions, you’ll want to bring their food with you when you drop them off. The staff will happily work with your prescribed feeding routine to keep your dog’s stress levels as low as possible.

3. Will My Dog Be Kept in a Cage?

Older dog kennels and boarding facilities often kept pets in cramped cages, but that will not be the case for your pet. Bar-King Dog Kennel has multiple options for your budget and your pet’s needs. Regardless of which kennel you choose, your pet will have a covered area to protect them from the weather as well as an attached dog run that will let them enjoy the sunshine when they’re not out in the play yard.

4. Can I Schedule a Grooming Appointment While They’re Boarded?

With all that playtime and ample opportunities to roll around in the dirt, it’s no wonder that your dog will look a bit dirty. Grooming appointments can be scheduled so your pet is nice and clean by the time you pick them up. Whether you’re looking for a simple nail trim or want a complete grooming session, their technicians will make sure your pet enjoys their spa day.
