If you are going on holiday this festive season and not planning to take your furry friend, worry not, as dog hotels offer the option of looking after your pet while giving it love and attention.
Gone are the days of worrying about your furry friend not being sure of whose care to live them with while you are about to go on holiday, since dog boarding facilities such as dog hotels now offer a perfect solution.
South Africa’s leading pet insurance MediPet shares that dog hotels ensure that your dog is fed, walked and given its medication daily.
The insurance also shares that some dog hotels offer extra services like “grooming, vet visits, live cameras for owners to check up on their dogs, transport services and more”.
When in search of a holiday boarding facility for your furry best friend, it is important to look for a comfortable and secure place that will fit your budget, but also provide quality care while taking care of their physical and mental wellbeing, shares the pet insurance.
When in the process of choosing the right dog hotel, MediPet also suggests to:
- Pick a pet boarding facility in a convenient location for easier travel planning.
- Ask pet care providers about their pet safety standards, & quality of care.
- Consider the space, comfort, & facilities provided for your pet.
- Enquire about socialisation, & exercise routines.
- Consider budget, alongside a provider’s value & quality of care.
- Develop an understanding of a provider’s communication, & customer service
- Explore a pet boarding provider’s online reviews, & reputation
