Taking a dog with you on a vacation can cause loads of unexpected hassles. The most obvious of these is the possibility of the dog getting carsick. Just like children, many dogs find the motion of a car too much to handle for a long period. The next thing that will come up is the fact that the dog will need to be walked, not once or twice a day, but every few hours. Other problems include the fact that dogs can’t be left in a hot car, but they also can’t be taken inside with you when you decide that you’d like to stop and shop for a few hours. Finally, there’s the biggest problem of all: finding a place to stay that will allow dogs. It’s easier to find a motel if you have a small breed, but medium and large breeds are another story.
Fortunately, there is a way to avoid all of these problems. You can leave your pet at a dog kennel in Wheaton. There, he’ll be properly fed, sheltered from the elements, and taken care of well. Meanwhile, you can enjoy your vacation without stopping at every rest area, spending hours trying to find a motel that’ll let you and your pet stay, and without having to skip shopping or tourist stops in hot weather.
Boarding your dog at a place like Belle Aire Kennels will provide him with a spacious interior kennel with a large outdoor area, a place to play with other dogs if he’s sociable enough, filtered air, climate control, and water that’s been filtered through a 3-stage system. He will not be deprived in any way as you take your trip.
There are a few things that should be done before dropping your dog off in order to ensure a successful experience at the dog kennel in Wheaton. First, you should check with the kennel to find out what immunizations your dog will need and have your vet provide those shots. This protects both your dog and the others from diseases that could otherwise spread in a multi-dog environment. The second thing you should do is give your dog a long-term parasite preventative that also protects against fleas. Your vet can provide this medication as well as the shots. With those things done, your dog will be ready to spend time at his new home-away-from-home.
