When you’re out of town having fun, you want to leave your furry family member in good hands at a reputable pet boarding center. Here, Shar-Jo’s Pet Styling & In-Home Pet Sitting of Milford, OH, shares some tips on what to do—and what not do—to ensure your companion’s experience is both easy and enjoyable.

What to Do

pet boardingIf your trip is longer than a few days, it’s crucial to help your pet acclimate to being alone. If you’re using an in-home pet sitting service, stay somewhere overnight and leave your pet alone for the evening. Then, just before you leave on your trip, put something that smells like you in your pet’s kennel or bed. Whether it’s a shirt or a blanket, your scent can be a comforting reminder of your eventual return.

What Not to Do

Before your trip, schedule an appointment with the veterinarian. Take your pet in at least a month before you’ll be leaving to ensure they are up to date on their vaccinations and have all necessary medications. You can also ask your veterinarian if they have any specific recommendations for pet boarding preparation based on your animal’s medical needs and temperament.
