If
you are leaving your pet for a few days, you need to make sure it is
properly looked after and gets all the food, exercise, and
medications (if any) it needs even in your absence.
A
good option is a pet boarding facility. Before leaving your pet in
one, it’s a great idea to conduct an inspection of potential
boarding homes to find the place that will meet your
expectations. This is especially true if you are doing this for the
first time. Consider the following factors in your selection:
Environment
Some
boarding houses may give off a bad smell because of the number of
animals they house. This may indicate improper cleaning and
sanitation practices. In addition to cleanliness, it is important to
evaluate the place’s temperature, ventilation, and light to make
sure that your pet will feel comfortable in it. Inspect the rooms to
see if there is enough space, and if security systems are adequate.
Staff
Leaving
pets to strangers may be a challenge for some owners. Getting to know
the persons working in a boarding facility, as well as their
experience and qualifications, can help satisfy your fears. Find
out, as well, if a veterinarian is available for emergency cases.
Facilities
Check
on the service’s feeding schedule, exercise plans, and available
medications and treatments. You should also discuss any special
attention or care your pet may need, such as avoiding certain foods
or medicines.
