Re: [pyrnet] Opinion and Advice about Dog Day care for vacation



Hi Christine,

I am also starting to look into options if I had an emergency and had to leave Bacchus overnight.  I am looking for personalized attention and nice overnight accomodations - not a bare kennel.  Some dog day cares over overnight boarding and actually have overnight staff.

This may sound odd, but check out Meetup groups near where you live (www.meetup.com).  It's basically groups of people who share certain interests - there are *many* dog groups.  I started going on hikes with a large breed group.  Everyone gets to know each other's dog(s) and several people have offered to "sit" for other group member's dogs.  If you have enough advance time to get to know some folks you might be able to arrange something.

Has anyone taken a dog to Camp Bow-Wow or a place like that?

Our neighbour took their Dane and there she is barred because she nipped another dog

Kodiak doesn't bite or growl but he does like to play - he does not know he is as large as he actually is.

 

We have always had two dogs to keep each other company and a neighbor or family member to watch our dogs when we travel.

We have not traveled since we go Kodiak and now we need to.

I can't get out of it otherwise I would and Kodiak will not do very well being left alone

 

Please let me know. I have never had to take one of my dogs to a place like that and I don't know where to begin or what to look for

Any insight or would help a lot even if it is anecdotal

 

Thanks

Christine/Kodiak
