BOARDING KENNELS v HOME DOG BOARDING Which is the best place for your dog? Over recent years there has been an increase in the amount of adverts that offer 'Home Boarding' Now as in all walks of life there are good and bad, and the same can be said for people who offer to look after your dog(s) while you take your holiday. An animal boarding establishment license needs to be renewed every year. You still need to apply for a license even if you’re only
looking after a small number of animals in your own home. 1. Are they licenced ? Does anyone, for example the local
authority or the BVA actually do a regular inspection of the facilities to make
sure that they are in good condition?
9. Home boarding does not accept “boisterous” dogs, elderly dogs or puppies under 6 months! Kennels are happy to do so. 10. if you dog exhibits undesirable behaviour while being home boarded they reserve the right to transfer him to a boarding kennel—of course they do-send them to an expert!!! The Choice is yours. Most home boarders talk about kennels being prisons showing pictures of dogs in cages, causing stress because they are away from their routine—are they not away from home with home boarding? Of course a good kennel will keep to your dog’s routine, and provide plenty of attention and cuddles- our staff are chosen with this in mind. Cages are not used in kennels-regulations do not allow this! Remember these regulations only apply to licensed inspected facilities. |
