Dog Boarding? My husband and I are planning a trip across the country for work-related reasons. For the first time since we got him, we wouldn't be able to take Max. I've researched the boarders in my area, and I feel like I have a good one picked out. They would keep him safe and give him everything he needs. I just am afraid we will come back in a week and he will be traumatized, thinking that we left him for good. I don't feel comfortable leaving him with family because no one has owned such a small dog. He only comes when we call him, so that presents a danger in itself. I'm considering not going on the trip because I know I will be worried sick the whole time. Does anyone have any advice? Will he just be terrified the whole time if we leave him? Thanks. |
We were worried about our Bella the first time we had her boarded, but she did fine. We had her boarded at the vet's so she could get health care if she needed it (she didn't need it). We paid a little extra for a larger room, and also paid extra for a vet tech to play with her once a day. And I called them to make sure she was doing okay. |
Yeah, I'm the same way. The only place we go to is my daughters in Florida. We take ours with us. I'm so crazy overprotective I can't stand being without my baby. He's such a Mommy's boy anyway. Sorry I have no advice. I'm sure more will chime in with their experiences. |
Uggg. I feel for you. We have left ours a few times over night. When we do, we hire my niece to come 3 times a day. She checks on them in the morning. Comes again around 3ish and stays an hour or so. Comes back at bedtime. This is ideal. But even with this situation, they pretty much don't eat until we get back home. I'm not sure how my 3 would be at a kennel. |
Ive put Daisy in a Doggy Hotel then doggie daycamp before at petsmart (her vet is Banfield)I was soo worried! But she did GREAT. They kept her with all the little other dogs, she made a new friend. I was worried because she did not get along with other dogs at first. I called so many times i think they knew my number eventually lol!! |
I'm sure your kiddo will do okay. But if you're especially unsure...why not try something instead like Sleep Over Rover...where it can be in someone's home...? Would that feel better for you? |
I've never heard of Sleep Over Rover, so I will check to see if there is anything like that available in my area. I also like the idea of boarding with the vet. Max also has an issue with eating/drinking while we aren't home, so having the vet there would make me feel better. |

We never board our baby out we take her with. Had a bad experience boarding a dog out many years ago so we take our yorkie and parrot with us. I am sure there are good places to board but I am too bonded to my fur and feather kid.Susan |
