Introduction

When you’re looking for a dog kennel, there are a lot of things to consider. The first thing you need to do is find the right one for your pet. What kind of services do they provide? What kind of amenities do they have? How much does it cost per day or per week? Are there any extra fees involved when using their services? These are all important questions that need answering before making an informed decision about where to leave your dog while traveling or on vacation.

First off, don’t just choose a kennel right away.

Before you even consider choosing a kennel, there are a few things you should do to make sure that it’s the right fit.

The first thing you’ll want to do is research all of the options available in your area. You can find reviews online, as well as talk to people who have used boarding facilities before. Then, once you’ve identified some potential candidates, go visit them in person and ask questions. Make sure that there will be enough staff around during your dog’s stay so that he or she receives plenty of attention and care. Also confirm their policies regarding walk times (so many hours per day), exercise time (if any), playtime with other dogs (if any) and more; these may vary from facility to facility so make sure they are compatible with what works best for both your dog and yourself!

Find out what’s included in the daily rate.

The daily rate is the most important thing to consider when deciding where to board your dog. It’s important to find out if there are any hidden fees, like charging extra for feeding your pet or providing toys and treats.

It’s also good to know what amenities come with the daily rate, like whether or not they offer grooming services or offer a separate play area for dogs who aren’t getting along well with each other.

Do they offer a pick up and drop off service? Will they feed your dog if you forget to provide food? These are things you need to know.

Some kennels offer pickup and drop off services, while others will provide food at no additional cost. If you choose a kennel that provides these services, make sure you check their rates before you book the reservation. Some facilities will charge more money if they have to provide these services. When you’re comparing prices, make sure that you know what’s included in each daily rate so that you can compare apples to apples.

For example, let’s say there are two kennels with similar prices: one charges $15 per day for drop off and pick up service; another charges $1 per mile traveled from your home or office (plus an additional $15 fee) for transportation when dropping off or picking up your pet. You would have to drive 10 miles round trip in order to save yourself $5 by paying this extra fee—not worth it!

It’s important to know how much space your dog will have while boarding. You need to make sure that it has room to exercise and move around easily, so this is an important point to get clear on.

If you want to know how much space your dog will have while boarding, it’s important to consider what they need. Dogs need a place where they can move around freely and exercise easily. They also need a place to sleep, eat, and rest. Make sure that the kennel offers all of these things before deciding on one in particular.

Do they charge a fee for Sunday pickup? Some people have the option to pick up the pet on Sunday when they return from their trip, but others make it so that you have to pay for another day at the kennel–to avoid being charged this fee, make sure you know whether or not there is one before booking at any particular facility.

What are their hours of operation? Are they open late enough that when you return from your trip there’s still time for you to pick up your dog before the kennel closes for the night?

There are a variety of benefits to choosing a kennel with late hours. First, it’s important to find one that will be open when you need them to be. If you travel on the weekends, or have an emergency and need to pick up your dog after hours, make sure they have enough staff on hand so that your trip can go smoothly.

Another benefit is that if you have school-aged children who need to stay at home during the day while parents are away at work, then having a kennel with late hours may be useful for your family as well. Many people choose a kennel where their dog can spend time when parents aren’t around because dogs are happier in familiar surroundings than being cooped up in strange places all day long – especially if there is nothing but concrete underneath them!

How do they handle visits from other pets?

• How do they handle visits from other pets?

You should definitely ask about this. Some dog kennels have a policy that allows for visits from other family pets, but this is far from universal. If the kennel does have such a policy, you’ll want to know what their rules are and whether there are any restrictions on how often you can visit your pet.

How do they handle emergencies? Do they have back-up plans in case something happens with one of the pets while they are boarding there or even after hours if you need some help getting into contact with someone who can help right away because something emergency situation arose unexpectedly and needs attention quickly?

Make sure the kennel has a plan in place for emergency situations. What would they do if one of their dogs had an unexpected health issue? Do they have back-up plans in case something happens with one of the pets while they are boarding there or even after hours if you need some help getting into contact with someone who can help right away because something emergency situation arose unexpectedly and needs attention quickly?

It is always important that you have contact information for the people who will be helping out in case of an emergency.

Conclusion

When choosing a kennel, it’s important to look at all of these points and make sure that they are right for your pet. It’s also worth asking questions so you can feel confident in knowing that your dog will be happy there – if anything goes wrong during your trip away from home, then you don’t want them to have any problems getting help from the staff members when needed because they didn’t tell anyone beforehand about what happened (such as if there was an emergency situation).
