Why Home Care Is Best
A kennel or shelter may not be the right answer for you or your pet while you are away.
Here is why it is important to consider other services the next time you are traveling and need someone with experience to look after your dog, cat or other house hold pet.
Kennels Harbor Many Contagious & Harmful Diseases
Many kennels do not show your through their back door for a reason. Some kennels do not clean out the cages between separate dogs or even days while you are away enjoying sun on your vacation.
Without proper sanitation your pet could get very sick and require extra trips to your local vet for care upon your return.
Know that your pet in in good loving hands and getting fresh air and love while your at the beach.
Your Pet Could Be Caged or Crated for Hours or Days at a Time and Without Any Potty Breaks
Your pet is used to being able to roam around your home or back yard and having their required potty breaks outside or inside a fresh litter box. Many kennels will only take your pet outside one time daily or will not change the litter box until your pet departs.
We strive to make sure your pet have ample time outside multiple times daily to try to stick to their normal schedule.
In addition you pet can become over stressed if they are a younger or have more energy than usual because they have have no way to get it out. This is especially bad for dogs with are used to playing fetch or going on daily walks.
It Typically Takes a Pet a Couple of Days to Adjust to a New Environment
Once your pet has arrived to a kennel or shelter many do not eat for days at a time. This is because they do not understand why they have been dropped off or if you are coming back to pick them up.
Kennels Often offer Additional Services that are not Carried Out
Many kennels will try to charge and up-sell you for additional services while your pet is boarded but many times the service is not carried out for your pet. These services include extra walks, time outside and potty breaks but unfortunately many times your pet will stay inside it’s temporary cage or kennel instead of touching some nice green grass.
Your Pet is Most Comfortable Inside Their Own Home
While you are away your pet is most comfortable inside their own home because that is where they carry out their normal daily life. Pets especially dogs and cats are used to their own particular feeding schedules which can fall throw the cracks at a large facility with many animals to look after.
Diets Become Unbalanced Due to your Pets Stress Levels
If your pet becomes stressed their diet can be thrown off and which can take many days to recover.
