Preparing your dog for boarding can help ease their transition and ensure they have a positive experience. Here are six ways to prepare your dog before you drop them at Happy Little Howlers.
1. Familiarise with the Boarding Facility: Bring your Dog for daycare at Happy Little Howlers for a few short visits of daycare before their stay. Allow them to explore the environment, meet the staff, and get used to the new surroundings. This helps reduce anxiety and makes the facility feel more like a second home.
2. Update Vaccinations and Health Records: Ensure your dog is up-to-date on all required vaccinations, flea and tick preventatives, and any necessary medications. Bring any medications with complete instructions with your for your Dogs stay.
3. Pack Comfort Items: Bring along some of your dog’s favourite items, such as a blanket, toy, or something that smells like home. These familiar items can provide comfort and reduce stress while your dog is away from home. We allow you to bring whatever you like to board your dog with us.
4. Maintain a Routine: Try to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible leading up to their boarding stay. Feed them at the same times, take them for walks, and stick to their normal bedtime. A consistent routine will help them adjust more easily to the new environment. We strive to stick to your dogs usual routine during their stay with us.
5. Practice Short Separations: If your dog isn’t used to being away from you, start by practicing short separations. Leave them with a friend or at a daycare for a few hours at a time. Gradually increase the time apart, so they get used to being away from home and can better handle the longer boarding stay.
6.Don’t cause any unnecessary stress: Dogs can sense stress. When dropping your off for their stay, remain calm and happy. Do the drop off process as quickly as possible. If you a re nervous.. your dog will be too!
These steps can help ensure your dog has a smooth and stress-free boarding experience at Happy Little Howlers.
