To Board or Not to Board
This is one question that many clients will ask when it comes to care for their dogs. I had previously posted on this topic, and have a few more thoughts on the subject.
Each situation needs to be assessed independently. There are some cases where home care is the best choice; other cases where boarding may be the better option.
Consider the following two cases:
An elderly dog who needs lots of rest may do best at home. With a quiet, peaceful environment and regular exercise outdoors, the dog will do very well. Allowing the senior pet to move freely in a room with the familiar scents and sounds may be less stressful than being moved elsewhere.
A household with more than one dog where the dogs keep each other company during the day and night is ideal for in-home care. With regular exercise breaks outdoors, they do very well.
The two situations above are ideal for in-home care, however there are other cases where in-home is ideal as well. More often than not, the attention a pet sitter gives your dogs during the visits may be more than you provide in a day. There is the exercise, feeding, cleanup and general care that your dog receives that is spaced throughout the day that ensures needs are being met and that makes for a happy pet.
