What To Bring to a Dog Boarding Facility



 



Sadly, we cannot take our pets everywhere we go. That is why many pet owners look for dog boarding in San Diego. Boarding facilities give pups a place to stay while their owners are away.

Just as you need to pack certain things for your trip, you also must bring specific items when you drop off your dog at the boarding center. Here is a list of items to put in your pup's suitcase.

Emergency Contact Information

Even in the best boarding facility, your pet could suffer a medical emergency. You should thus give the kennel staff the name and phone number of a nearby friend or relative who can care for your pet in this situation. You should provide contact information for your dog's veterinarian, as well.

Food

Leaving home can be difficult for any pet. To make him feel more comfortable, give the kennel employees your dog's regular food. Be sure to pack extra in case your return trip gets delayed.

Identification Tag

Before you bring your pet to a facility for dog boarding, like Pacific Pet Resort in San Diego, he should get a proper identification tag. The tag should include his name along with your name and number.It can be tough leaving your furry friend at a boarding center for the first time. To make sure everything goes smoothly, be sure to provide emergency contact information, your dog's preferred food and proper identification tags.
