Summer boarding paradise: why book Playful Pack now
Summer break is right around the corner. The kids are watching countdown calendars in the classroom, and adults are making vacation plans. Whether you’re going out of town for a weekend or a few weeks, preparing for your dog’s time without you might be one of the most important must-dos of the season.
What Are My Summer Dog Boarding Options?
Most dog families who intend to travel can choose from dog sitters, traditional kennels, and dog boarding. Dog sitters can be a great choice for young puppies that don’t yet have all their vaccinations or dogs that are reactive or struggle with social situations. Traditional kennels offer professional-quality care, but space can be lacking and dogs might struggle with the dearth of activities and enrichment, increasing the risk of boredom and anxiety. At Playful Pack boarding, we offer customized attention for each of our pack-members. Our guests sleep in roomy suites that allow them to stretch out and can join the rest of the pack during the day to enjoy daycare, which features planned activities, ample enrichment games and events, and professional supervision from dog lovers just like you.
When Do I Need to Book Dog Boarding for the Summer?
Summer is one of the busiest travel seasons, and boarding can fill up quickly. While we have multiple boarding centers to accommodate the needs of you and your pup, your options can become more limited the longer you wait. By booking at Playful Pack early in the season, you can ensure your dog has a guaranteed suite at a facility convenient to you.
Not only does booking early guarantee your dog’s spot during the heightened travel season, but it also gives you more time to prepare your furry friend for their getaway. Some dogs might need an acclimation period to feel more comfortable and at-home while boarding. Consider scheduling a few days of daycare in the days and weeks leading up to your planned travel. At Playful Pack, your dog will need to undergo a temperament evaluation to ensure they’re placed in the correct pack. After the evaluation, they can stay for a free day of daycare, just like the care they’ll enjoy while they’re boarding. An overnight visit to our boarding suites can also be arranged to help your dog feel more comfortable with the experience.
When booking, you can opt for add-ons to further enrich your pup’s experience. For example, we offer walks so your dog can stretch their legs and enjoy fresh air and scenery as well as grooming services for an effective refresh.
What Are the Benefits of Boarding with Playful Pack?
Boarding isn’t just about keeping your dog safe while you’re away. At Playful Pack, we schedule exciting activities every day. Your dog will have the opportunity to chase bacon-scented bubbles, dance in disco “pawty,” or run an obstacle course. They’ll be able to socialize with other dogs on their own terms or relax in comfort on cozy couches and cots. Our Playful Pack human pack-members will take excellent care of your dog, even if special needs are a concern. We can administer most medications on site, address specific dietary needs, and care for your dog as if they were our own. We provide daily updates, and you can check in at any time via video feed. You can enjoy the peace of mind you crave while you’re traveling when you book dog boarding early.
