oakway Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm SO confused!!!I HATE going away for this very reason! I wish we had family close who could look after our puppy. Well if I was still living in the Rosewood area I would have offered to look after the dog for you. All anybody is saying go to good reliable kennel. I can only speak for where I have worked.

mita Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I HATE going away for this very reason! I wish we had family close who could look after our puppy. As I'vs said, we have neighbours where we have a habit of looking after each others dogs. But even then, it's necessary to have another option if that becomes impossible. Our option of the 'Room At Home' accommodation level at Samford Pet Resort covers that. They also have a vet as member of staff. One trouble is that you have to get in early to book for a special option like that one. Because lots of other people prefer it, too, to standard kennel accommodation.

Pollywaffle Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 that's why we've decided to not have a life..while we have the dogs..the worrying about what is happening to them while we're away is not worth the going away! But they're worth it...(I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppyDog Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Pollywaffle! Not helpful! Lol! I'm stuck! Do I try and find a sitter? Or do I give the kennel a go? Time is running out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDH Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Pollywaffle! Not helpful! Lol!I'm stuck! Do I try and find a sitter? Or do I give the kennel a go? Time is running out!!! I use boarding kennels on about 3 - 4 occasions a year. For one of my girls, I do worry about the noise and stress from being around unfamiliar dogs, and so I am prepared to pay a little extra for the VIP or executive suites. As someone else has mentioned, Samford Pet Resort offers this facility as does Brookfield Pet Chalet (which may be a little closer to you). I'd highly recommend either of these places. The suites are air-conditioned rooms with single beds and most have a TV . The dogs are let out into an outside play area 3 - 4 times a day for a play and cuddles You do pay for the service though - around $50 per day (as opposed to around $25 for standard boarding). The plus side is you don't have to pay any extra for the playtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
