About this time of year the majority of Australian households start to plan for their Christmas holidays. Half the fun of a holiday is in the planning, so they say, and travel brochures make great reading. Most dog boarding kennels also have a boarding cattery which makes it easier for those owners who have both a dog and cat. Don't worry that your dog or cat may fret at being enclosed.
Most dogs quickly settle down and enjoy watching the activities which occur in a boarding kennel.
Cats, being a bit more homebodies than dogs, tend to sleep their day away no doubt dreaming of returning to their own home and hearth. The advantage of placing your pet in a boarding kennel is that there is expert, competent staff available at all times to observe your animal, it is securely confined to prevent escape and a veterinarian is on call if it becomes ill. You may choose to leave your pet at home and arrange for someone to feed and give it water. It is much cheaper if you have a friend or relative who can do this for you but first make sure that they are reliable and are going to call at least twice a day. Make sure also, that they have enough knowledge of animal health and behaviour to know if things are not right.
