A boarding kennel can be the perfect home away from home for your pet, providing him with quality care as well as peace of mind for you. Because it's important to find the right kennel, we've provided some tips on choosing the boarding facility that's right for you and your pet.
First, call the facility that you're interested in. There are certain times of the year, such as holidays and popular vacation times, when they simply won't have any availability, in which case it won't be necessary for you to continue with that facility. Also, if your pet has any special needs or requires any special care, be sure that they can accommodate you.
With that done, you can continue by evaluating the facility. This means a visit to and tour of the facility. Some recommend that you visit unannounced, while others say that you should make an appointment. Obviously an unannounced visit will give you a more realistic view, but really the choice is up to you. If you do go unannounced and they don't want to give you a tour, that's a sign to scratch this one off your list.
