Dog Boarding – For Dog Owners On The Go
Dog boarding is an important consideration for the pet owner on the go. Dogs are social creatures, and without companionship they may become depressed or destructive. A boarding facility is a great solution if your dog can’t join you on your next trip, especially for pets that need extra care, like medications or regulated exercise. Here are some benefits that make dog boarding more than worth it:
-Dogs will get regular exercise and enrichment instead of sleeping inside all day
-Dogs with special needs, such as medications, get the attention and care they require
-Socialization with other dogs can improve behavior
-More regular attention for your dog means faster medical treatment in emergencies
Dog boarding facilities often provide other services, as well, such as our own facility in San Antonio, where boarding runs side by side with grooming and training services, as well as German Shepherd breeding. This kind of variety is a good indicator that the staff is well-qualified to work with dogs of all types.
Selecting The Right Dog Boarding Facility
Be sure to do plenty of research when selecting a dog boarding facility, keeping an eye out for warning signs like dirty runs, hazards like sharp objects in play areas, or untrained staff. The ideal business will have a friendly staff with a firm but gentle hand with visiting dogs. Look for a boarding facility that provides both indoor and outdoor runs in case of weather changes, and which can separate dogs at night for safety’s sake (even dogs that are familiar with each other are safer when separated in a new, strange environment).
German Shepherd breeding programs like ours are a unique addition to the boarding service, and thanks to our experience in breeding, we can insure the highest quality care for your own dogs as well. Here are a few added benefits you can expect to see from a boarding facility that also engages in German Shepherd breeding:
-Trainers with a better eye for dog behavior
-Owners with a genuine love for dogs
-Patience and care for dogs from other homes
-Plenty of experience in helping dogs to socialize safely and healthily
Also keep an eye out for other benefits: some boarding facilities, including ours, will offer perks such as raw food diets or a free bath at the end of a boarding stay. With the right dog boarding service, your pet will be just as excited as you are to go on vacation!
