By Bonita Odom


If you're going away and Fido just can't come, you need someone trustworthy to leave him or her with. Finding quality dog boarding West Palm Beach isn't difficult to do, but you need to take several steps to ensure it is the best match. Choosing the right option means feeling secure about leaving your canine family member to his own vacation while you are gone. Dog Boarding West Palm Beach

When you are considering what kind of facility to go with, make sure to think about your dog's basic personality. Finding themselves stranded at doggie daycare for a week might be heaven for some dogs and hell for others. The same is true of a quiet kennel where somebody walks Fido three times a day for fifteen minutes and he's otherwise left alone.

Although there are more, there are three very common ways to board your dog while you are gone. At a conventional kennel, which is what most people think of first, the dogs spend most of their time in kennel runs. They may or may not be walked, though most get at least a little human interaction time. This is best for quiet, independent dogs, or short-term stays.

Places that offer daycare often also have an option to board. In this scenario, the dogs play all day, perhaps with breaks given in crates, and then bed down together or in crates for the night. Human supervision is usually 24/7. For active, playful dogs, this can be a great way to keep their mind off you being gone. However, enrollees generally must be spayed or neutered and good with other dogs.

People sometimes open their homes to dogs whose owners are going away. This can be a great way to board your buddy who likes the comfort of a home, but the calm environment of being an only or one of a few dogs. Because these are usually run by single people, they tend to have fewer regulations and be more willing to make exceptions to existing rules for your pet.

When you've narrowed down your list to some possible dog boarding West Palm Beach facilities, check their reviews and make sure they are licensed and insured. This type of attention to detail lets you know they are serious about doing things right, and is important.
