Kennels and doggie daycares are great for some of our four-legged friends. They can prove valuable places for your dog to learn social skills and interact with other dogs. For others, there are many reasons to choose personalized, in-home care.
-
Kennels can be cold, unfamiliar places. Being away from you can be stressful enough. Add that to being in a strange environment with unknown people and this can cause a great deal of unnecessary anxiety for your pet.
-
Many boarding facilities do not allow pets that are not spayed or neutered.
-
Even the cleanest facility still presents a risk of communicable diseases and parasites. This can be both uncomfortable for your pets and costly for you.
-
Using an in-home service keeps you from having to pack up your pets and their belongings, transporting them to a facility, and bringing them home when done.
-
With a boarding facility or daycare, you have to worry about picking your pet up on time. Some even charge extra if you're just a few minutes late.
-
With in-home overnight care, your home is also being watched by a responsible, fully-insured professional.
