Pet Boarding

What to look for when selecting a pet boarding facility:

When selecting any boarding facility to watch after your pet you should select a company that:

  1. Shows you their inspection report card before being asked.

  2. A good ethical boarding facility will encourage you to inspect the facilities.

    • You should check the water and food bowls to make sure they are fresh and clean.
    • Do the animals appear happy?
    • Does the facility smell clean or does it smell of urine or masking agents?
    • Is there an indoor and outdoor run?
    • Are the animals crated?
    • How does the staff interact with the animals?
    • Is there a play area?
  3. Verify and actually check the license to make sure that it is current.
  4. Ask what Vet do they work closely with?
  5. Get everything in writing, make sure what is in the contract is actually what is going to be done. Make sure that there are no hidden charges.

The important thing to understand about a pet boarding facility is to take the time to inspect the facilities and make sure that you are comfortable with the person you select to look after your pet.

What to avoid when selecting a business in this industry:

  1. A company that does not show you their inspection report card.  Each business is inspected by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. A good clean boarding facility is proud of the results.
  2. Companies that play price games. Many boarding facilities will “low ball” over the phone and when you arrive to drop off your pet will start adding fees that SHOULD be included.  Get the total price before comparing fees.
     
  3. Use your nose, it will tell you a tremendous amount about the facilities.
     
  4. Also, use your judgment. Do the people taking care of your pet love animals or are they looking for a paycheck?
