To ensure your dog or cat is best prepared for boarding considering taking a few extra precautions ahead of time. Firstly, ensure your pet is up to date on all vaccinations and treatments. If currently sleeping with you, consider adjusting to self-sleep. Moreover, a familiar object or toy to bring along on their say may provide comfort. Finally, plan to drop and depart in the morning to allow your dog or cat ample time to adjust to their surrounds before bed. Where possible, a boarding trial may also help.
