Large Dog Boarding Bridgewater NJ

By Lynne Bonner


All dog boarding Bridgewater NJ is the perfect place to leave your canine family member when you go on vacation or a business trip. You need someplace that is friendly, caring and clean and will also make your pet feel at home. Many facilities now offer family rooms for the dogs to play in, watch television and interact with one another, as if they were actually back home. dog boarding bridgewater nj

A pet owner of a larger breed will want to do some investigating of the facility before handing over their pup. If the pet center has a website, that should be the first stop on the list of places to checkout. Start by looking at the times of operations and what the general policies are for the care of your pet. Do they feed the same brand of food you do or are you able to bring your own so that your pet does not get an upset stomach? Do they have a vet on staff or one near by and is the entire property fenced off incase one of the animals gets lose?

Call the facility to make an appointment to tour the facility; however, if they have open hours, you may just stop by. Make special note of the cleanliness of the different rooms and especially the animals in their care. The dogs should be clean, pest free and not cowering in the corner of their kennels.

If you have two small dogs, you will most likely want them housed together. Ask if this is possible and if so, they should be put in a large run or kennel. This will also give them each more room to run around. If your pup is going to be confined to a small space, make sure she is going to be taken out for walks or free play at least 4 times a day, but more is better. If you are going to be gone for more than five days, it would be better for your pet to stay in a larger kennel or run.

The pet care facility will know after a few hours with your pet, if he is ready to play with other dogs or not. However, even the calmest, most well socialized dog can have stress after being left by his owners. This is why the staff must be prepared with canine first aide and have quick access to a vet.

When taking your canine to a large dog boarding Bridgewater NJ, be sure to bring him something familiar for his kennel. One idea is for you or another family member to wear an old t-shirt or sweatshirt the day before taking him to the kennel and then leaving that shirt with him. Your scent on the shirt will comfort him during his stay away from you.
