What You Should Know About Dog Boarding

By Annabelle Holman


It goes without saying that dogs are best friends for many humans. They are loyal and trustworthy, and you can confide in them everything without being cut off or judged for your actions or lack thereof. They also follow you around, even in places where even your closest buddies dare not go. They are perhaps the only creatures who will love you more than they value themselves.

For this reason, most dog lovers do not even regard their pooches as pets. They see them as family. They really spend time, money, and effort just to make sure that they get food, water, and safe environment to live in. They bring their furry pals on vacations, or leave them in the care of apt professionals at dog boarding dc.

Leaving your mutt in a boarding is like leaving your kids with a sitter. The only difference is that you have two options. You can have the sitter come over your place and look after the dog. You can also bring your pet over to the sitter, in a special environment that will not make him feel anxious, stressed, and confused.

In the past years, people used to leave their loved ones in a kennel. Here, dogs are placed in pens and are locked up all day, allowing only a few hours of exercise. Dogs also interact with other dogs, only sometimes these encounters do not fare well. This led to the development of dog boardings, which are very far off from kennels.

One good thing about employing the services of a sitter is experience. Unlike the professionals at a kennel, these people at the boarding are certified canine fans, which means they will really shower your mutt with love and attention. You do not have to leave so many detailed instructions, only the really unique ones that your mutt likes, such as placing his favorite chew toy in the nook that he is supposed to sleep in.

A good sitter will also update you with everything that is happening to your pet. She can easily send you photo proofs of your beloved dalmatian or retriever having a belly rub, or a video of him vigorously chasing his tail. This way, you can go on your break without worrying about the loved one you have left behind.

Entrusting your pup to a sitter also means that he gets undivided attention. In a kennel, one professional is tasked to take care of about twenty dogs at a time, which means he cannot tend to each dog to ensure their well being. Issues with your pooch will not be addressed right away, and can lead to even bigger problems.

They also get far more exercise and play, too. They do not have to stay cooped up all the time. In fact, they are even allowed to wander around to acquaint himself to the new environment.

Most owners feel that it is best to just bring your pets when you go on a vacation. They keep the kids occupied, and they would love the new experience, too. If circumstances do not allow for this, however, then leaving them with a sitter is the next best thing.
