Morristown, TN
Your dog is a member of the family. You walk them, make sure they’ve got nutritious food, and generally want the best for them. There are times where you will be away from home and you need to trust the care for your dog to a boarding facility. Unfortunately, not all dog boarding facilities are created equal. That’s why, today on the blog, we wanted to list some red flags if you’re trying to choose the right dog boarding facility near you in Jefferson City.
Red flag 1: Lack of transparency
Before booking a stay for your dog with any boarding facility, we strongly advise that you visit the facility and check out the accommodations and conditions yourself. If you contact a business that is not willing to show you its boarding spaces, we recommend looking elsewhere.
Why AllDogs? Not only do we welcome new customers to visit our facility for a tour, but we also have a policy where any new dogs who are going to be under our care make a visit for an acclimation period.
Red flag 2: Unsanitary
When you do make a tour of the boarding facility, you need to watch – and smell – for certain conditions. These include bad-smelling odors, murky drinking water and uncleaned kennels. You also want to look for any dirt, clumps or fur or dog poop that has been left untended.
Why AllDogs? We believe your dog’s boarding facility should be clean. That’s why we have our facility staffed by at least one employee around the clock, every day, even on weekends and holidays. We also disinfect, rinse and dry all kennel floors daily and utilize a cutting-edge ventilation system to keep kennels smelling clean and fresh.
Red flag 3: Overcrowding
On visiting a possible dog boarding facility near you, are there too many dogs packed into too small a space? Overcrowding can be detrimental to the physical and mental health of your pet. Being in close proximity to more dogs can expose your dog to an excess of germs and make them more susceptible to disease. Crowded conditions also stress out your dog.
Why AllDogs? We maintain individual living spaces for each of the dogs boarding with us. If you have multiple pets staying at our facility at the same time, they can share the same space if that would be best for them. Each of these kennels is secure, comfortable and climate-controlled, and is attached to a private outdoor space.
Red flag 4: Lack of communication
You’re out of town and contact a dog boarder to check on your pet. Hours pass. Then a day. Maybe longer. The wait can be agonizing. Because our facility is staffed on a 24/7 basis, you can call and contact our staff at any time to check on your dog. We also have an agreement with a veterinarian who can come on site and provide emergency care if needed.
