[Highland Park] Dog Boarding
by Jan McKeag 01 May '12

01 May '12

There have been requests on the list for recommendations for kennels that board dogs. I hesitate to diss or recommend a place because everyone has different types of dogs with varying needs and expectations. And kennels change, some improve and some decline, depending on management and staff. I worked with dogs for 32 years and have seen hundreds of animal facilities - boarding kennels, breeding kennels, pet shops, vet hospitals, university vet clinics, and, yes, circuses. If you are looking for a boarding kennel, there are a few things you should do. #1 - and the most important - is to visit the place before you board. Follow your nose. You should smell nothing. A detectable odor of urine, feces, or disinfectant (some are fruit or mint-scented) is a heads up that they are not cleaning properly. Look. Are the floors and walls clean? Do you see grime and clumps of hair? Are the animals calm? Does each animal have appropriate, clean bedding - not just a hard floor. Active dogs can use a cot. Small and old dogs need clean blankets. Does each cage or pen have a bowl with clean water? #2 - Does the kennel check your pet's vaccination records? If they aren't checking yours, they aren't checking others - and kennel cough and parvo are serious problems where dogs are housed in close proximity. #3 - Talk to the caretakers. Are they friendly? Are they familiar with their residents? Ask some questions. #4 - If you do board your dog, and he or she comes home dirty and/or stressed, find another kennel. #5 - Where does the kennel take your dog if a medical problem occurs? The closest vet? Your vet? #6 - There are other options that kennels offer - everything from basic care to webcams to massages - and prices vary wildly. Still, #1 should be your first guideline. And a problem with your dog's comfort is a deal breaker. Hope this helps you. Jan M.
