(prHWY.com) September 17, 2012 - Great Neck, NY -- When you have an urgent meeting to attend or an unplanned trip coming your way, it is difficult to leave your pet behind and go. At this point in time, you can't always call for a pet sitter due to the short notice. However, you can always opt for pet boarding facilities. You will first need to decide on the location where you will leave your pet and make sure you choose the right one. You can ask your vet, your dog groomer, friends and also neighbors if they are familiar with
pet boarding facilities in and around your area. If this does not yield results for you, you can always browse the Internet and find out as much information as you can online. Always check on the business and owner's name to find out as much as possible for your reference.
Choose the Best for Your Dog
When you contact the specific pet boarder, confirm their experience and also ask them to provide you with references. Calm all doubts you have in your mind by doing the required research. You can always visit them in person and ask your questions this way as well. Make an appointment and go check out the place where your pet would be staying. Take a tour of the facility and note where your pet will be spending most of their time at the facility. The pet boarding location should be clean, free of odors, free of fecal deposits and also bug and pest-free. Check on the air ventilation and make sure that someone is always on the premises to take care of your pet. Do note if they are using any kennels and, if so, check on the size and ensure that it is an appropriate size for your pet to move about freely.
If your dog has special needs like medications, for example, this should be mentioned well in advance so that your dog is provided with its medication at all times. Do not hesitate to ask as many questions as you would like to ask. A good
pet boarder will respond positively to your questions and be informative. It is essential for them to make you feel comfortable with the location and to have peace of mind when your pet is staying with them.
