Making Dog Boarding Less Stressful

By Thelma Kent


Kennels can be extremely stressful for animals if they are not dealt with carefully. From the journey through to the stay animals often become overly stressed and lonely. For dog boarding Denver has many kennels with staff that have a great deal of experience and genuinely care about the animals that they care for. This is essential to ensure that the dog is comfortable and not scared.

Pets become reliant on their owners and become used to their routine, so when they are taken to a new and unfamiliar place they become understandably afraid. There are many things that can be done to make this transition easier for the animal, so that they think that it is perfectly normal. This always involves being calm and composed and comforting the pet.

Ensure that the case that will be used to transport the pet is comfortable and large enough. A great deal of the stress is created by this case as it is linked with leaving home and trips to the vets. To help make this less stressful never put the pet into the case until the exact moment it will be leaving and never force it in as that will only worry it further.

One of the best ways to make a pet feel calm and at home is to put a favorite blanket into the carry case and their future kennel. The familiar smell of the home and of their owners will be on the blanket and will make the pet remember their home and calm them down. This also works with toys and teddies as long as it has been in the home for a while and smells like it.

It is very important for the family to visit the kennels before they commit to using them. It would be even better if a recommendation could be made by a family member or close friend, but if that is not possible then always check to made sure that it is a safe and calm environment. If the family is not comfortable with the kennel there will always be something else more suitable somewhere close by.

For loved pets needing dog boarding denver offers many kennels that are high quality and have caring workers, but always ensure that the company is well-known before leaving the pet in their care. The time before the pet leaves should be calm so that it is not scared or shocked. If possible take it to a nearby kennel so that transport is minimal.
