Ensure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away with pet hotels

By Patricia Hedwigh


If you are looking at organising a holiday away for you and the family, or if you're going away on a business trip in the near future, there are a number of things that need organising in advance when you need to vacate your home temporarily. One thing in particular that should not be left till the last minute is accommodation for your pets. Whether you're going away for a few days, or a few months, it is crucial that your animals are taken care of while you're away (not just fed by your neighbour!). Pets require food, love and affection, so that they are not stressed out while you are away.

Animal boarding facilities - also referred to as animal accommodation and pet hotels - will give you peace of mind while you're away that your pets are well taken care of and looked after. Whether you're gone for a couple of days or a couple of weeks, putting your pets into an animal boarding facility is the best thing to do to ensure that they are happy and healthy.

The most common form of animal accommodation services is boarding catteries. Boarding catteries offer accommodation for cats and kittens of all breeds. Not only will your cats be fed and exercised, but any medication will be administered to them if required.

Dog boarding kennels offer accommodation services for puppies and dogs. Regardless of the breed your dog may be, they will thoroughly enjoy their time hanging around a range of other dogs at the kennels. While both long and short term stay is available at most dog kennels, 'doggy daycare' is usually also available, which allows day time care for your dog while you are at work.

Along with general accommodation services, some pet hotels offer an animal transportation service. This is an ideal service for you if you are moving in or out of the country, or even within the country. The pet hotel owners will either pick up or drop off your animals at the airport, sign the necessary documents, and accommodate them while you are making the move. For more information on this service, consult your local cattery/boarding kennel.
