At Sublime K9 Training & Boarding, we know you care about your canine companions, so we offer high-quality boarding facilities where they can stay when you need to travel. Our team of highly dedicated staff will make sure your pet gets plenty of nutrition, affection, and play during their stay, and that all their medical needs are met. Unfortunately, not all dog boarding facilities are up to the same standards, so it’s important to research each option carefully before deciding where to board your dogs.
In this article, we will go over some red flags to look out for when choosing a dog boarding facility.
- No Vaccine Requirement – One red flag to watch out for when choosing a dog boarding facility is a lack of a vaccine requirement. Reputable boarding facilities require clients to provide records of their pets’ vaccines, as letting in an unvaccinated dog will put the other dogs at risk. Our team makes sure every dog that boards in our facility is fully vaccinated.
- Insufficient Socialization – Another red flag to look out for when comparing dog boarding facilities is a lack of exercise and play time. Just like humans, dogs need a certain amount of time to socialize with each other, and reputable boarding facilities like ours recognize this need. We give our dogs plenty of time to play and move so they can remain physically and mentally healthy.
- Lack of Emergency Preparedness – When searching for the right dog boarding facility, you should always ask about the staff’s emergency protocols. How will the staff keep the animals in their care safe should a crisis arise? A good dog boarding team will have robust emergency procedures in place and will be able to walk you through them.
