Boarding Checklist & Things You Should Know

• To ensure the best possible animal care and boarding experience, provide the kennel with your current veterinary records for each stay.
• To minimize the chance of an upset stomach, don't feed your pet for at least four hours prior to dropping them off and for three hours after picking them up.
• Be sure to inform the staff of any pet care, idiosyncrasies or medical problems (such as fear of thunder, or epilepsy, etc.).
• Socialize your pets as much as possible so they're comfortable around other animals and people.
• Don't 'make a scene' when leaving your pet behind, as it may cause stress.
• If your pet is on any medications, be sure to let the staff know about them, the dosage and provide enough medication to cover your stay and then some (in the event of an unexpected extension of your travel plans).
• Provide emergency contact information as well as your veterinarian's contact information.
