What to Look for in a Boarding Facility

Finding the Perfect Home Away from Home: What to Look for in a Boarding Facility

Leaving your pet behind when you travel can be stressful—for both you and your furry friend. That’s why choosing the right boarding facility is so important. At The Spaw, we understand that your pet is part of the family, and we’re here to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Here’s what to look for when selecting a boarding facility:

1. Clean and Safe Environment

A top-notch boarding facility should be spotless and well-maintained. Look for clean kennels, sanitized play areas, and proper ventilation. Safety measures like secure fencing, surveillance cameras, and trained staff are also essential.

2. Qualified and Caring Staff

The people caring for your pet should be experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about animals. Ask about staff training and certifications to ensure your pet is in good hands.

3. Comfortable Accommodations

Your pet’s stay should feel like a vacation, not a chore. Look for spacious kennels or suites, cozy bedding, and climate-controlled environments. Some facilities even offer luxury amenities like webcams for pet parents to check in!

4. Opportunities for Play and Exercise

Pets need physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy. A good boarding facility will offer supervised playgroups, individual playtime, and plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs.

5. Personalized Care

Every pet is unique, and their care should be too. Whether your pet has special dietary needs, requires medication, or just needs extra cuddles, the facility should be willing to accommodate their individual requirements.
