As you’re counting down the days until your big summer vacation, do not let the excitement make you forget about plans for your pet. Dog boarding is a great way to give your furry friend their own vacation, but several boxes need to be checked before partying ways. Here are some helpful tips to make your separate vacations as smooth and relaxing as possible.

How to Prepare Your Pet for a Dog Boarding Vacation

Update Vaccinations

Before dropping your pet off at dog boarding, make sure their vaccinations are all up to date. Most kennels will require proof  of current vaccinations before accepting the pooch to protect the rest of the animals. To make sure there aren’t any issues, check with your vet at least two weeks ahead of your trip, so you have time to schedule an appointment if necessary.

Book in Advance

Summer is a busy time for dog boarding services. To make the experience go smoothly, book your dog’s stay in advance to avoid any scheduling snags. Not only will this ensure your furry friend has a place to stay, but you can also begin choosing grooming and pampering options for them while you’re away.

Fill Out Paperwork

Accurately completing paperwork will help keep your dog as comfortable and safe as possible at the dog boarding service. Be sure to include any pertinent contact information for you and your vet in addition to any medical considerations (including medications), so the staff can take care of everything while you’re away.
