Finding Good Dog Boarding Bridgewater NJ

By Rosetta Drake


If you are a dog owner it is inevitable that at some point you are going to have to leave the dog, you may be going on holiday or have an important engagement that means you have to leave home for a while. Fortunately when this occurs you can leave your dog at dog boarding service that will look after your dog properly until you return. Have a look online for dog boarding Bridgewater NJ and look at your options.

However, you will want to know that your dog is in the very best hands. You can talk to your friends and loved ones regarding any recommendations they may have, and you can also speak to your vet. It is also a good idea to phone around the kennels and ask them some questions. Here are some questions you should ask.

Firstly, ask them where your dog will stay? You need to know what kind of living space your dog will have. It is worth asking for a tour of the kennels and check out the facilities. You want to see for yourself that the facility is clean, organized and fee from odors. Do the dogs stay in cages? Will this ok for your dog or is it used to having more free space. Also if you have an older dog it may have arthritis, in which case it will need space to move around or it may be in pain.

You also need to ask how often your dog will be walked and given exercise. Some kennels only allow dogs outside twice a day, and only for a few minutes so they can relive themselves. If you own the kind of dog that is used to this, then it may be fine but many breeds need a lot more exercise. If this is the case then find a kennel that walks the dog three or more times a day.

You should also find out the food they feed to the dogs in their care. If you are not happy with their choice you can always give the staffs your own food for them to feed your dog with. Also you can always give the staff at the kennels a set of instructions regarding your dogs eating requirements.

You may want to know if you dog will be able to go out and play in a fenced area with other dogs. This scan be very good for the dogs morale, but their are risks involved, such as dogs fighting or contracting a disease from a sick dog. The kennel staff should know when or if this appropriate, and monitor the dog at all times if they decide to let your dog play.

Of course you will want to know what will happen should your dog get injured or sick. Good kennels should have knowledgeable staff that will monitor your dog regularly to see if there is any change in its behavior, eating patterns or if it appears to be unwell. Kennel staff should also be keeping a log of your dogs behavior throughout the day.
