Providers are spread across areas like Downtown Barrie, Allandale, Bayfield Corridor, so you can pick one close to home.
What vaccinations are required for dog boarding?
Proof of current rabies, distemper/parvovirus (DHPP) and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations is generally required. Some also require a negative fecal test or canine influenza vaccine. Check with your specific facility at least 2 weeks before your stay.
Should I bring my dog's food to the boarding facility?
Yes. Facilities generally recommend or require that you bring your dog's regular food to avoid digestive upset from a sudden diet change. Bring enough for the entire stay plus one extra day, in a labeled container with feeding instructions.
How do I prepare my dog for their first boarding stay?
Start with a short trial stay of one or two nights. Visit the facility together beforehand so your dog can sniff around. Bring a comfort item that smells like home. Keep your drop-off calm and brief — long goodbyes can increase your dog's anxiety.
How far in advance should I book dog boarding?
For holiday periods (Christmas, March break, summer), book 4 to 8 weeks in advance. Popular facilities fill up fast during these times. For regular weekends, 1 to 2 weeks ahead is usually sufficient.
What if my dog needs medication during boarding?
Oral medications can generally be administered, and some facilities handle injections. There may be an additional daily charge. Provide clear written instructions and ensure the facility is comfortable with your dog's specific needs before booking.
