Pet boarding can be stressful for both homeowners and their pets — especially for first-time pet owners with puppies. At Canine College, our goal is to make sure that both you and your pup have a great experience here at our pet boarding facility in Holbrook. Although the general gist of pet boarding is the same across the industry, not all facilities are treated equal.

Choosing the Right Kennel

Choosing the right dog boarding facility is difficult. With over 9,000 kennels in the US alone, we’re here to help narrow down the search.

  1. The first thing we recommend is asking for friend, family member or co-worker recommendations. After over 20 years in the industry, we’ve realized there’s nothing quite as convincing as a referral.
  2. If your friends can’t give you suggestions, then it’s time to head online and do some research. Head to listing sites such as YellowPages, Better Business Bureau, or in Massachusetts you can even try your luck on Patch.com to find kennels.
  3. After choosing 3-5 different boarding facilities, be sure to get on the phone with them. During this time of year many kennels may be booked up so it’s important to call sooner rather than later. It’s also important to call so that you can tell the boarding staff whether or not your pet needs some extra care and attention (medical concerns, behavioral issues, etc.) You can also use this call to get information on what may be needed for your pet, such as their dietary information for the dogs in their care, if they offer a safe place for your dog to sleep, and other questions that might help to improve your dogs experience while you’re away.
  4. Lastly, if it’s down to two different kennels, then the best thing to do is visit both! Our Canine College pet boarding facility is spacious, clean and each pet is guaranteed a soft Calming Dog Bed to ensure they get a good night’s sleep. Dogs will also get clean water at all times with regular feeding schedules to keep them happy.
  5. Don’t be afraid to ask what else your bed boarding facility can provide for your dog. Some places — such as at Canine College — will provide grooming services, dog training, and medication administration so that you can rest assured your dog will feeling healthy and happy upon your return.
