Are you planning to board your dog in a kennel while you
travel for the holidays or a vacation? What essential canine care items do you
need to pack?
Consider this checklist, whether you are boarding your dog in a professional kennel or simply stashing him with a friend or family member:
- Collar and leash
- Crate or pet carrier
- Dog coat or outerwear/blanket
- First aid kit or supplies
- Food dish and water bowl
- Grooming brush and comb
- Housebreaking pads (for a puppy)
- ID tags
- Shedding blade
- Toys
- Treats
- Vaccination records
Most dog kennels have their own rules and suggestions
pertaining to clients’ packing for short or extended stays. Some dog boarding
facilities insist upon use of their own food and water dishes, dog beds, or
other items. Many kennels do not encourage pet owners to bring their own dog
toys. It’s always a good idea to ask ahead of time before packing up the pup
and his supplies.

I'm so glad I found your blog. My husband and I are going away for a few weeks and are looking into boarding, if we can't find a friend to watch our Boxer. I have never boarded or needed anyone to watch him and your article gives some great tips and info! Now I feel a little more prepared for boarding him, thanks.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the very pertinent list of items. It is indeed vital to have access to such list as it is quite possible to miss some of them; and consequently, face various problems.
ReplyDeleteKindly keep posting these excellent and relevant content.
Ensure that then that you simply play together with your canine on the carpet once they wish to, and that you simply take your pooch out for many walks too.
