There may be times when you feel you have no choice but to put your dog in a boarding kennel. Although you may worry that he will be unhappy while he’s there, if you take the time to find a well established, clean, tidy and reputable facility the chances are he’ll have a great time – although there’s no doubt that he will be delighted to see you again at the end of his stay!
There are no guarantees that any kennel will be up to standard, so make some enquiries before you commit to a reservation. Begin with:
1. Personal recommendation: ask you dog-owning friends where they send their dogs.
2. Notice boards at your veterinary surgery, pet shop or grooming parlour.
3. Local Press.
4. Telephone directories.
5. Library.
6. Internet.
