Morristown, TN
You love your dog and consider them another member of the family. Likewise, your dog gravitates to you and wants to be around you whenever possible. There are times, though, when you have to leave your dog on their own. Maybe you have an event planned at your home and it is going to be too stressful for your pooch to be there. Or, perhaps, you have an out of town trip planned. Whatever the reason, you need to arrange for someone to care for your dog. May we suggest a professional boarding facility? We understand it can be cheaper to have a friend or family member check in on your dog, but today on the blog, we take a look at why a professional dog boarder is worth the cost.
Reason 1: Supervision
A quality boarding facility is staffed by experienced professionals who will monitor your dog to ensure their safety and well-being for the entirety of their stay. These professionals have experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. This helps provide peace of mind while you are apart from your dog because you know their needs are being met.
Reason 2: Socialization
Opportunities to socialize are important for your dog, just like people. While some dogs have aggression issues with other dogs, the vast majority of canines enjoy interacting and playing with others. These opportunities to play provide both physical and mental stimulation for your pet.
Reason 3: Consistent care
Your dog does best when it has a routine: regular meals, walks, etc. A reputable boarding facility looks to maintain that schedule as closely as it can with regard to when your dog eats, exercises, gets opportunities to go out to the bathroom and sleeps. Keeping your dog on a structured routine helps them stay happy and healthy even during a time of potential stress when your dog is away.
Reason 4: Grooming services
Dogs get dirty. Many of our clients prefer to have their dog bathed before they pick them up. That means your dog comes home looking and feeling its best. Our facility includes the Paw Spa, a full-service grooming that includes baths, brushing, nail trims, teeth cleaning and more in an environment where your pooch feels pampered.
Reason 5: Physical activity
Exercise and regular activity help keep your dog physically active, mentally stimulated and minimizes anxiety and boredom. We offer regular exercises and walks based on the established routine and physical health capabilities of your pet. Each of the kennels at AllDogs offers access to a private outdoor space to allow your dog to get some fresh air whenever they like.
Reason 6: No imposing on family and friends
You can hire a pet sitter or delegate that duty to a friend or family member. No matter which route you may go, relying on a pet sitter entails coordinating schedules. If you opt to have a friend or relative care for your dog while you are away, they have to incorporate that into their own schedule, which may not match the established routine of your pet and make the entire experience more stressful. It also may mean your pet spends more time at home alone than they are used to, which also can magnify stress.
