Choosing the best care for your best friend when you are away

If you’re like us your pet is part of your family. You want the best care when your travel plans do not include them. There are many options to consider. Are they resilient to a new environment? Do they enjoy a lot of activity? Do they have medical issues that need to be attended to on daily basis? All of these questions help to determine what care model is best for your pet.
There are a variety of options to choose from ranging from a friend checking in to a reputable pet resort aka Kennel. While you may think that keeping your pet in home and having someone check on them is the optimal model there are a host of issues that could arise.
A reputable pet resort or kennel should have state of the art security systems that are monitored as well as safety standards that ensure your pet is housed securely. A trained staff who is guaranteed unlike a pet sitter who can be unreliable in cases of illness or extenuating circumstances that prevent them from making the home visit possible. Accountability of care and a staff attends to their needs tracking intake of food and output of waste, demeanor as well as correct administration of medications. If you choose a kennel you are assured that basic needs are being met as well as receiving more attention than a pet sitter affords.
After establishing that a pet resort/kennel is the best option we encourage you to become an informed consumer by touring the facility, asking questions about the care they provide, what vaccinations required and why and learn about their safety and care protocols.
Providing detailed instructions on the care of pet is imperative to a healthy happy stay. Inform the staff of personality characteristics, Are they slow to warm up to people? Do they tend to be nippy?, Are they picky eaters or have special dietary needs? No detail is too small when conveying their care. This will allow the staff to become uniquely familiar with your pet and ensure that the best care is provided for them.
