It is time to head to Las Vegas for the long awaited week of vacation. But what about the dog? Some people are unable to face the prospects of boarding Fido and, therefore, that the stay at home. Other or impose on their friends or hire “pet sitters” to come to their homes. And finally, many people choose to board their animals in cages.
Before you commit to your dog to a particular niche, you should visit the property for personal control. Does not seem to be clean, not smell clean, well lit and ventilated? What is the temperature? Cages and runs a size sufficient? A phone call to the American Boarding Kennels Association (719-667-1600) will determine if the kennel in question is consistent with accepted standards and is accredited.
After the final selection of the kennel, it is time to prepare your dog for his visit. First, make sure that your dog’s vaccinations are current. A kennel where your dog refuses his anger, vaccination is not current. Moreover, even if you’ve selected a boarding clean and bright, the dog is subject to a number of diseases are always present in a population of embarkation. A record number of shooting course is good insurance against some of these diseases.
If possible, you should consider stopping by the kennel with your dog for a short visit. Can meet staff and familiarize themselves with the environment. One night will do wonders to prepare the dog for his longest stay.
Always provide as much information as possible to shelter staff. Obviously they need to know about who will administer medications, food allergies, with or without the dog socializes well with other animals and, where applicable, may have particular fears or phobias. If you happen to be held more than one dog, you may want to ask them to be housed in the same enclosure or licensed to practice in the same time, for the period.
If Fido needs a special diet, ask the kennel in May to give them a supply of food. This usually depends on the extent of the needs of the dog and will be paid in advance of the visit of the dog. Make sure the kennel has the name and telephone number of your veterinarian and a telephone number where you can reach in an emergency.
Most dogs will provide elements of knowledge with them. A special toy, their coverage, or even one of your slippers will comfort and ward off the feeling of being abandoned. By all means, do not wash your voice, familiar odors are half the battle, so do not destroy them.
When packing and preparing your trip, try to do it as calmly and confidently as possible. Packing frenzy and run on Rover warn that something is wrong and the time you’re ready to move to the kennel, it is already under pressure. Gather the kennel and the entries are in the car before loading Rover.
When landing at the shelter, try to stay as relaxed and as calm as possible. Do not be overly affectionate or do nothing that might cause Rover to give meaning to his situation too. The objective is to minimize rather than exaggerate. Keep it discreet – No Long Goodbyes, without tears and without emotion. After the closure of Rover lead to a kennel assistant, allowing workers to distract the dog and calmly to escape.
If you are a frequent traveler, Rover gets used to stop and in most cases, will be happy to experience, especially if you have the chance to mingle with other dogs at the shelter. You get to know the staff and we hope to see.
Once the dog and its owner to get used to the idea of boarding and become completely comfortable with the experience, be separated will be much less stressful. While away, the owner will be at peace, confident that his faithful friend is safe and well-being treated. And, Rover will be able to relax and enjoy your vacation too.
