If you need to leave town for a few days, finding a reputable pet boarding facility for your furry friend is crucial. Once you’ve selected a facility you trust, get organized to ensure a successful stay. The following guide highlights a few considerations to keep in mind when preparing to board a pet.

How to Make Pet Boarding Go Smoothly

Before you drop off your furry friend, prepare the facility for your pet’s stay. Provide a copy of your pet’s medical records, including a history of their vaccinations as well as any medications they take or allergies they have. 

You should also provide the staff with a detailed record of your pet’s personality traits. For example, do they have a lot of energy and need to be walked multiple times per day? Are they friendly with other pets? Do they hide during thunderstorms? This type of information will ensure the staff provides the resources and makes accommodations to keep your pet happy and healthy during their stay. 

What to Bring

When you board your pet, bring their everyday necessities—food, treats and medications (in original container). To make your pet feel more comfortable during their stay, also pack their favorite toys. Leave your contact information with the staff so they can reach you with questions or for emergencies, and let them know when you’ll be back for pickup.
