Summer vacation is really just
around the corner and that means a lot of us are starting to plan for the
yearly family vacation. Traveling to visit family and friends certainly isn’t
as easy as it used to be so early preparation can be the key to a happy
relaxing vacation. This also pertains to the four-legged members of the family.
Whether you are going across town or across the country, it may not be feasible
to take your loving dog with you. And asking a friend or neighbor gets tricky
because chances are they have plans for the the warm months too too. This is
where dog boarding
becomes the best solution.
Dog Boarding has come a long way in
recent years and it can be a healthy and fun experience for your dog.
Boarding facilities, like DoGoneFun in Chicago,
understand how difficult it may be to leave your dog for any amount of
time. But they also know the benefits of professional dog boarding far
outweigh the risks of leaving your pet home or attempting to travel with
them. Dogs are not that much different from people when it comes to
adapting to change – some handle it well and others, well, not so well!
So when you think your dog would just love to travel to a faraway place, you
might want to think again. And, if the thought of leaving him home alone
just to have a stranger pop in to feed him and let him out only when needed is
too much to bear, then maybe it’s time to explore dog boarding.
Here are some benefits of dog boarding
to think about:
Safety
Whether you are contemplating taking
your dog with you or leaving him home, safety should always be the first
concern. Traveling in a car always poses the risk of him getting out
during a stop and the results of that could be devastating. Boarding your
dog eliminates the stress of worrying they may run away or worse, get
injured. Safety is the number one priority at professional dog boarding
facilities.
Medications
Some dogs require medication.
If you leave your dog in the care of a friend, even the most trustworthy,
you’ll never really know if they are giving the medication properly. The dog
boarding staff is trained to administer medication and they will ensure the
medication is given in proper doses and in accordance with the vet’s
instructions. So you can enjoy your vacation knowing they are in good
hands.
Diet and Exercise
The stress from any kind of change
may cause your dog to not eat for a while. While in most cases this
behavior is temporary, sometimes it can last too long and become a health concern.
The staff is always there to make sure your dog is eating properly and is
hydrated. There is also a lot of playtime so they get good exercise and
maintain a healthy appetite.
So go ahead and make those plans to
see the world! You can relax and enjoy your family and friends knowing your dog
is having a good time too! Stop by DoGoneFun today and the staff will be
happy to show you all the benefits of this amazing dog boarding facility as
well as all the other services they provide. Your dog will love you for
it!
