No matter why you are going to be leaving your home, whether for business or pleasure, you will want to make sure that your furry friends are taken care of when you away. It’s important that you fully vet the kennel where you are going to be leaving your cat or your dog so that you can rest easy while you are gone, knowing that he or she will be taken care of in your absence.
Questions to Ask
It’s important that you are prepared to ask plenty of questions about the care your pet will receive while you are gone. While you may want to ask more questions, these are a great place to start:
- What kind of exercise do you offer?
- What immunisations does my pet need?
- How can you help my pet with his or her medicine?
- What will you do if my pet suffers separation anxiety?
- How well do pets adjust when they come home from your kennel?
The Background
Besides asking plenty of questions and taking a tour, you will want to learn about the background and experience of different boarding kennels and catteries in Swindon before you trust them with your pet. Find out about how long they have been in business, how many repeat pets they have taken care of, and if they have ever had any major problems with an animal.
Your pet is a family member and it’s important that you treat him or her with love and compassion. Being careful when choosing a kennel or cattery will ensure that he or she is taken care of in your absence. It is very difficult for most pets to be left behind by their families but you can minimise this discomfort and stress for them by choosing the best boarding location that you can, letting them visit beforehand, and bringing along special toys or beds if the boarder allows it. Having something from home will help you pet during this difficult time.
