Always be prepared for an emergency

Being prepared in an emergency can help save your pet’s life. That’s why you need to make sure to always keep them on a leash when you’re outside. If you’re outside after dark use a reflective leash and take a flashlight. Moreover, take a minute to re-evaluate how “pet-proof” is your home. Remove toxic chemicals and plants from areas pets can reach. If they can’t get to them, they can’t ingest them.

Also, never leave them unattended for extended periods of time. Even the most relaxed pet can get into mischief if they are bored. Hire a pet sitter when you’re going out of town or on an extra-long day trip. We’d love to set you up with one of our awesome Wet Noses Pet Sitters to help ensure that your pet is safe. Just give us a call any time you need it!

Now that you know the top 5 places to board your pet, there are still some things to think about.  All of the kennels and boarding facilities we chose have high reviews with a good reputation. However there are a few more things to consider to narrow down exactly which is the right fit for you and your pet.

  1. Will your pet need round the clock veterinarian care (specifically for older or sick pets)?
  2. Can you visit the facility before you book?
  3. Do they follow the over crowding code? They should have at least 1 person to every 15 dogs in their care.
  4. What amenities or exercise programs (if any) do you want your pet to have?
  5. Should you consider a pet sitter for daily or overnight care in home?
