I do have to mention that my dog attends doggy day care twice a week so she loves being among other dogs and is very well socialized. In 3 weeks, I am going to Mexico for 8 days and planning to board my dog at Camp Bow Wow. You can also leave them detailed instructions on administering food and meds. The only occasion I might worry leaving your dog at Camp Bow Wow if it's one of those super small yorkies (less than 4 lbs).
The vet option might be a nice option if your dog has serious medical condition and you need someone with medical expertise to supervise or being available to the dog. Otherwise, sitting in a cage for several days sounds miserable. Dogs are social creatures and usually love to socialize with other dogs (unless you dog has behavior issue - camp might not even accept your dog).
People on this forum tend to be more on the overprotective side for their yorkies. But I think that if you have healthy yorkie within normal size range (mine is 6.2 lbs), the dog will be fine and have more fun at the camp. |
I agree that Camp Bow Wow would be more fun for Ian. Ian is very social and loves going to day camp there. Ian weighs 9.5 pounds, very active, and has no medical issues.
