You sigh with satisfaction as you hang up the phone or close the browser window…you’ve Done it! You booked a well-deserved vacation, and you now have only to count the days until you are on your way to some long-awaited destination. Then you remember the dog(s). What will you do about your treasured furry family during your getaway? Hire a pet sitter? There are a lot of reasons people so often pay someone to pop into their homes while away, but there are as many reasons to use an alternative option – the premium doggy day care. Why? Let’s look at four good reasons you should veer away from a pet sitting arrangement and consider round the clock care for your four-legged family members stuck at home while you vacation.
The Pros of Premium Doggy Day Care
It is super easy to convince yourself that your dog(s) will be better off at home because they are in familiar surroundings. While there is some truth to it, consider that your dog is not used to being inside and all alone for days and nights on end. It would be like the whole world suddenly emptied except for one stranger who appeared for an hour or so each day! Don’t do that to your dog(s), but instead consider the pros of round the clock care:
- It is round the clock! The best options will have staff on the premises at all times. The dogs are monitored, walked if needed, and soothed if upset by the newness of their surroundings. They are not, however, all alone.
- They have large kennels, comfy beds and plenty of play areas. If your dog is used to lots of companionships during the day and night, this is the way to provide it.
- They include all kinds of fun extras. Everything from grooming services to suite-like kennels are options.
- They prevent last minute issues from interrupting a vacation. The pet sitter that cancels or suddenly cannot come, who forgets to tend to the pet, or who don’t know enough about dogs to see that there may be something wrong are all issues avoided with premium boarding and day care.
