Essential Details Regarding Dog Boarding Facilities

By Diane Meyer


Pet owners usually face the question on where they will leave their pets in case of illness, travel and other emergencies. They may try to bring it with them just to discover the place they are going does not allow animals. Or their pets got ill due to traveling or maybe they try to or successfully did runaway which makes the trip into a disaster.

Some owners will just request their neighbors or friends to look after them during their travels but there are risks for this specially if they are not capable enough. This might result in your pet being sick or they would try to escape and find you due to the chosen custodian having not enough knowledge in preventing these things. Fortunately, you could choose to leave them in dog boarding Las Vegas facilities instead where professional care is given.

Choosing to do these would give you confidence that your pet is happy and safe with them. You would enjoy your vacation more too knowing your dog is being properly taken cared of in the best possible way. Here are some essential details to know about them when finding one in Las Vegas, NV that you could trust.

Start searching for companies online or in the yellow pages in your area that are offering this service. Ask recommendations from your friends and family members as well on a kennel that is trustworthy. Get to know their reasons on recommending that particular place and what was their experience with them was like.

Contact the kennel and ask if they will be able to accommodate your dog because they might be fully booked depending on the time of the year. Inquire as well if their company can accept and handle any special accommodations like medications, differently scheduled feeding time or a large breed of dogs. Schedule an appointment to visit them to check their place and if it is to your satisfaction.

Observe the cleanliness of the kennel by how it looks and smell and if visitors are allowed in the housing area. Some kennels are not allowing visitors inside to prevent them from bringing bacteria that can cause sickness or the dogs may react aggressively to them. There should be a viewing window which allows you to see the area your dog will be staying.

Check if they have the proper safety and security guidelines and infrastructures for the animals. Dogs tend to look and try to find their owners so having sturdy and well maintained fences and gates is a must. There must be no harmful objects in the area for them to get injured to or even swallow and other infrastructures to make them safe.

The personnel they have must have the competence and should be able to frequently check them for symptoms of health problems. Some symptoms are harder to distinguish so they should distinguish them. You would know how capable their personnel are by checking the certifications they are displaying.

There are more things to consider before making your decision aside from these basic ones. It is important to find one in advance to have an ample time in deciding. Not being able to do so might lead to leaving your pets in a less desirable place.
