Guide For Pet Boarding ✈️

There’s a lot to consider when selecting a boarding facility for your pet. Here are some of the key items to look for:

✅ Vaccine Requirements: Boarding facilities should have clear (and enforced!) vaccine requirements for all guests. These guidelines keep your pet safe.

✅ Schedule: Feeding and play schedules should be presented to you prior to your pet’s stay. Bringing their regular diet is advised to have a piece of comfort from their daily routine and to help prevent G.I. issues associated with an acute diet change.

✅ Play Room: Your furry companion will need exercise and fun while you’re away. Ensure there is some kind of backyard area or playroom.

Our Pet Hotel is now accepting new guests. Contact us to book their next stay! 🐶🐱
