Leaving on a trip or vacation can be very stressful. Making sure you pack the right stuff, all your travel info is correct and then there is the matter of what to do with your dog or cat. Most of the time, you may just look for someone you trust to keep an eye on them. Which is fine, assuming you can find someone you trust who has the time to properly take care of them.

Sometimes when someone commits to watching your dog, they may run into a few issues. They may find they don't have much free time to actually watch the dog, so it may get into things or destroy something out of boredom. They also may only do the bare minimum needed to take care of your dog like feed them, give them water and let them out to the bathroom. With lack of affection and lack of exercise, your dog may be heavier or slightly depressed when you get home. The worst thing that can happen is if the person turns out not to be trustworthy and you come home to find they didn't properly take care of your dog or that some of your stuff is missing.

A great alternative is taking your dog to a dog boarding kennel. Dog boarding kennels can help your ...
... dog stay on their regular schedule as far as feeding, exercise and sleeping. The employees are always trained in how to best take care of your dog and how to keep them safe. Your dog also gets the added bonus of getting to play with other dogs. If you have a dog that needs a special diet, the kennel workers will ensure that your dog is only fed what you desire, as long as you provide them with enough food for their stay. Some Portland dog grooming kennels will even groom your dog during the stay, if you pay for the service. Then you can come home to your dog being nicely cleaned and groomed.

To make your dog stay comfortable during boarding, there are some things you can bring with them. Bringing you dog’s favorite blanket or bed to sleep on is the best thing you can take. The blanket will smell like home to them and help so they are not as nervous in their new surroundings. Bring their favorite toy to play with so they have something familiar. Make sure to write your name or your dog’s name somewhere on the items you take. This will help avoid any potential confusion about ownership.

A lot of kennels these days have also begun boarding cats. Although cats are usually low maintenance, it does help put you at ease knowing they are in good hands. They usually have the cat areas set up by windows so they can watch the critters outside and curl up in the sun for some nap time.

When looking for the best Portland Dog Kennels for Portland dog boarding, be sure to look at customer testimonials so you can get a sense of their reputation. This will help insure you don't get stuck with an inexperienced kennel or one that doesn't care very much about taking good care of the animals they are trusted with.
