Plan Ahead for Holiday Boarding

Although the holidays may seem far out yet, many of us are already making travel plans, whether it’s visiting family, taking a much-needed vacation, or simply enjoying the festive season away from home. While these plans are exciting, they often come with a crucial decision: ensuring your pets are well cared for during your time away. Boarding facilities fill up quickly around the holidays, so planning ahead and booking early is key to securing a spot for your dog, cat, or small pet.

Why Holiday Boarding Spots Fill Up Fast

Boarding facilities experience a significant increase in demand during the holidays. Many pet owners need care for their pets as they travel between November, December, and January. If you wait too long to book, you might find yourself scrambling to find a boarding spot for your pet.

The Benefits of Booking Early

Peace of Mind: Booking in advance means one less thing to worry about. You can enjoy the holidays knowing your pet is in a trusted, safe environment.

Preferred Accommodations: When you book early, you have more control over choosing the type of accommodations your pet prefers. Whether it’s a larger suite for your younger active pup or a quiet space for your senior dog, early booking means more options.

Special Requests & Services: Check out the special add-ons for your pet’s boarding stay like playtime, a warm blanket at tuck-in time, or special holiday meals or treats. Early booking gives you the chance to secure these extras in advance as well.

Time for Preparation: Some boarding facilities require updated vaccinations or wellness exams before accepting pets. Booking ahead allows time to ensure your pet’s paperwork and vaccinations are up to date.

Things to Consider When Booking Holiday Boarding

Boarding for Dogs: Dogs, especially those with specific exercise needs or social behaviors, should be placed in a facility that offers ample playtime and interaction. Our facility offers group play or individual playtime based on your dog’s needs.
Boarding for Cats: Cats require a quieter, stress-free environment. Our facility has cozy, separate cat boarding areas away from the noise and activity of dog boarding. Like many of us, cats thrive in spaces where they can relax in peace.
Boarding for Small Pets: From rabbits to guinea pigs and even hamsters, small pets also deserve proper care when you’re away! We can board your other small pets, too.

Preparing Your Pet for Holiday Boarding

Update Vaccinations: Ensure your pet’s vaccinations are up to date prior to your reservation start date.
Pack Their Essentials: Bring along their favorite toys, blankets, or bedding to provide comfort. Having familiar items can ease any anxiety and help them feel more at home.
