By Daphne Bowen


During the holidays, many people search out for facilities to take care of the dogs while they are away. Also, visits to friends or family require one to decide on whom to leave their dogs with. In cases where the pet is a very important member of the family, to leave him or her with someone else may make you have mixed feeling. Below are tips on how to choose a center for dog boarding Davie.

You have to take a tour at the facility you are considering to take your pet to beforehand. Enquire from the staff the boarding details and ask questions. This will make you be comfortable with both the people and the facility. If the tour guide rushes you, this is a sign that the staff will not give your pet adequate attention. You should take the dog for a couple of daycare visits before you leave him or her there. This enables you to assess the quality of services by looking at the response of your pet.

Determine the normal routine in the facility. Ensure that there are programs for the dogs to work out in order to vent the excessive energy. Overnight care is another matter to consider. There should be services to alleviate the stress the dogs go through when they are taken form their normal environment. Social interactions for the pets are as important for the pets just like in human beings.

If the environment is clean and free of contamination, the pets are less likely to fall sick and they will remain happy all through. If they are to be taken through group play programs, you need to talk to the supervisors first. At no time should they be left unattended. They can attack and injure each other during their play. You have to ask about how qualified the staffs are in supervision.

Ensure that the facility has staff working all through the day and night. It is dangerous to leave them alone because emergencies can crop up any minute. You should inquire into the training of the employees about animal care. They should know their way around dog care and dog behavior. This puts them in a better position to deal with problems that may arise.

If the animal is sick, you cannot just leave it in the hands of someone you are not sure of their suitability with the handling of the case. Interview them on knowledge of the specific medical condition the dog has, administration of medications to animals and training on responding to emergency situations.

It is a must for the facility to have a veterinary doctor on call all through. This means that in case of injuries of sickness exacerbation the pet will be in good hands. It is frustrating leaving your sick pet with someone you do not trust to take care of him or her well while you are away.
