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.

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?
