Preparing to Border the Family Dog – Five Things to Do

One of the most difficult decisions a pet owner will have to make is boarding their family dog for any reason. Separation anxiety is a real thing both for the owners and the dog. Fortunately, there are a few things that owners can do to make this much easier on themselves and the family dog. Here are K9 Sensei’s five tips to helping make your dog’s boarding comfortable and successful.
 
1. Keep the diet the same – Dogs are creatures of habit. Take the food to the kennel your dog is accustomed to eating each day. This will give them more security and comfort.
2. Toys and familiar items – Toys your dog loves to play with and anything that makes the dog comfortable is a good idea. We recommend an old t-shirt or two you have worn recently. The scent will set them at ease.
3. Set schedules – Make sure the dog is comfortable on the floor if they are accustomed to sleeping in the bed with you. They will not have this luxury for a few days.
4. Schedule a vet visit – You want your family dog to be in the best possible health and up to date on vaccinations. A quick vet trip for a checkup and a copy of vaccination reports is always a good idea.

5. Keep cool – You and your best friend are going to be apart for a few days. Keep calm, and do not act emotionally. Your dog will read this. Treat it like you are off to work for the day.

 

There are five tips for boarding your dog. Come back for more tips in the future.
