That's so great!For the first time, I left my dog in boarding for a week last summer. I was terrified he would be miserable or not well taken care of.
When I picked him up, he looked happier and healthier than ever. It was like he got his own separate vacation.
My dog loves other dogs, so this might not work the same for everyone, but he loved his stay. I hope yours has the same experience.
My guys have been boarded, but only at our vet's office, and while they were safe, it isn't an ideal place. There is no grass yard for them to go out in, so they spend the entire time on concrete. My dogs do not use the bathroom "inside" and they consider being on concrete "inside". The last time I boarded them there (they've only been twice), they would hardly eat. When I got them home, they immediately went to the bathroom (pee and poop) over and over and over. It was obvious they had held it. I felt so bad for them.
This place they're staying in December is super nice. Lots of grass to poop and pee on! They're fine with being inside for long stretches, they stay in the house all day when I'm at work and sleep inside all night. But by gosh, when it's time to potty, they want a yard!
