When many people think of summer, their minds wander to weddings, vacations, and other trips that often occupy the sunny season. For those who own a four-legged friend, planning these trips takes on another wrinkle. Thankfully, bringing a pet to a professional dog boarding service is a great way to enjoy the travels while still providing for your pooch. There are, however, some factors to keep in mind when preparing your dog for summer boarding.

The Top Tips for Summer Dog Boarding

1. Vaccinations

It’s important to make sure your dog is up-to-date with the necessary vaccinations before booking a stay with a dog boarding service. In fact, any reputable service will require proof of proper vaccinations, so all pets stay safe and healthy. To make sure your pooch is ready, check with the vet no later than two weeks before the trip so you have time to take care of any necessary procedures. 

2. Fill Out Paperwork

From contact information for you and the vet to any necessary medical considerations, the dog boarding service should have all it needs to take care of any situation.

3. Make Your Dog Comfortable

Your chosen dog boarding service, while safe and clean, might be an unfamiliar environment for your pooch. That’s why it’s important to make sure they have items from home that will keep them calm during the stay. A few of their favorite toys can go a long way in making the stay as comfortable as possible. It’s good to check with the dog boarding service ahead of time to make sure the items are acceptable to bring.
