When Wanting Top Class Dog Boarding Sauk County Provides Great Options

By Dorothea Garner


It can feel traumatic putting your pet into kennels when you travel on holiday or for business. People often feel torn when putting dogs in kennels. Thankfully, today's dog boarding Sauk County facilities have changed beyond all recognition. Your beloved pet will now enjoy a really happy vacation. With increased competition comes more affordable pricing as well, so it doesn't cost a bomb to safely board your family dog.

It's absolutely vital to visit the kennels in advance. There are several things to look out for on this visit. The first is the friendliness of the owners. Reassure yourself that they are genuine dog lovers, and see how your pooch reacts to them.

Have a tour of the dogs' accommodation. Ensure it is clean, roomy, dry and warm, and how many dogs are in one enclosure. Most kennels keep dogs in separate enclosures, but it's handy when owners have two dogs that get on well together to have the option of putting them in the same room. Check that the area is big enough for your pup, with an outdoor and indoor space. Food and water should look clean and fresh.

Current occupants should look comfortable and contented, with their own toys, basket and blanket with them. Enquire about exercise, walking and that the environment for both is safe. Check if dogs can socialise, or are kept alone. According to your dog's temperament, your wishes in this regard should be catered for.

All dog boarding facilities will be inspected regularly, so make sure you use a registered one. Ask to see certificates, this isn't rude, it's just common sense. A genuine, reputable kennel owner wont be remotely offended. You will get a gut feeling about the place and, more importantly, about the owners and the staff. If they're happy, likeable people, chances are your pooch can be happy with them.

Then, ask about the kennel's daily routine and schedule. When the dogs get fed, and whether they can eat their favourite food. When time is set aside for exercise and play. How long your dog might be simply left alone inside his enclosure. Some really good dog boarding kennels really will treat all their charges like members of the family.

Security and each dog's safety is of paramount importance. Fences that surround the kennels need to be strong and high so no dog can escape. There should be no chance of strangers simply strolling in, nor having any access to your pets. In terms of health, you need the safety of knowing that all pets boarded must having up-to-date, full vaccinations and, naturally, have been neutered.

When all these checks are done and the kennels have satisfactorily answered all your queries and concerns, you can comfortably decide on a dog boarding Sauk County facility with confidence. Ensure you know exactly what you need to bring for your pet. Nail down the prices in advance. Enjoy your trip with peace of mind that your pooch is going to be happy and well cared for.
