  Boarding

It may be necessary one day, however, to board your dog while you are on an extended vacation or business trip.  In the United States, kennels which are members of the American Boarding Kennels Association should provide very good care of your pet.  The A.B.K.A. is a nationwide non-profit organization established to promote high standards and professionalism in the pet-boarding industry.

Make certain to visit the kennels for an inspection before you board your dog.  Examine the facilities, check the cleanliness of the stalls and exercise runs, talk to the owners about any special dietary or medical requirements your dog may have, look at the dogs staying there, and find out if there is a veterinarian on call.  Also, make your reservation well in advance, particularly if you plan to be away in the busy summer months or during the sometimes hectic holidays.

You can help your pet feel less homesick by taking his bed or favorite toy along.  Finally, remember to leave an address or telephone number where you can be reached in case of an emergency.
