While I can't see your boarding facility options, my guy loves going. I work full time and I don't have as much time as I wish during the week to play with Scooter. Since he is an only dog, I take him to daycare 2 or 3 times a week. The place is great. They take him out for play with other similar sized dogs at least 5 times a day and then pens they stay in when they aren't outside are the size of my bathroom. He gets playtime (outside with other dogs) and personal space (private pen) for $18/day. I have had to travel for work and couldn't take Scooter with me. The daycare he goes to offers boarding for an extra $7. He has boarded multiple times and loves it. They take really good care of him. One of the Vet Techs from our vet does pet sitting so she will check in on Scooter while I am at work on days that he doesn't go to daycare. I personally do not believe crating for long periods is fair. Scooter is potty trained and has proven he can have the run of the house without issue.
Long story short, I think boarding your babies is your best option. They will have tons of fun and you can trust that the people working at the facility know what the are doing, otherwise they would not be in business. Take your babies beds and a chew-safe toy so they are more comfortable. Boarding is way better for your babies when compared to leaving them in a hotel room for hours unattended. |
