<< 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 >> Hi Christine, ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ I have always kenneled my dogs and
can think of only 2 minor issues in the past 20 years or so that I have been
doing it. Here are some things that I have leaned over the years. Â I talk to the owner
before I even go for a visit, if I donât like them, I doubt I would like
their kennel. I make sure that I
inspect the kennel and see where my dogs are being kept. I always give them daily
play time. I always bring their food
packed by daily serving in plastic baggies. I bring their second
favorite toy, one that we wonât mind losing. Â I write out my
directions ahead of time instead of trying to remember everything while
dropping them off. ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ I make sure that my dogs have
spent at least one night in the kennel before I leave them for any period of
time. Tucker just spent his first overnight a couple weekends ago. He did just
fine. ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ I always call at least a couple
times during my vacation so they know I am interested in how things are going. ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ Thatâs it. I hope you find a
good kennel for Kodiak and have a wonderful vacation! Elaine, Laela and Tucker |
