No matter how many trips you go on, it’s never easy to leave your dog behind. Pets are a part of the family, so you want to make sure they’re in good hands. Dog boarding facilities are properly equipped to care for pets. But, are the kennels you’re considering right for your pooch? Consider these qualities when searching for your dog’s next vacation spot.

What to Look for in a Dog Boarding Facility

1. Comfortable Quarters

Some dog kennels cut corners on comfort to save money. You should always take a tour of boarding services before leaving pets there, particularly in the main areas where the animals eat, sleep, and play. Check to see if there’s proper ventilation, climate control, and cozy familiar places for your dog to lie down.

2. Continuous Supervision

Not every dog will get along, and dog boarding facilities should take this into account. Dogs should be separated by temperament and size to prevent negative interactions. During playtime, there should always be a staff member on watch. Many boarding services even use live webcams where you can check in on your furry friend.

3. Cleanliness

It’s normal for a group of dogs to create some mess, but you can tell when a facility is cleaned well and regularly. The cleanliness of the building is a good indicator of how much effort they put into ensuring the safety of their guests. While touring, make sure they are maintaining a clean area for your dogs to play, but also clean and organized throughout the facility.
