| Medical and Behavioral Problems Associated with Boarding | |
| The adjustment of a pet
to the boarding situation depends on many factors. Their age, their
breed, their temperament are all important factors. For example, a shy
Chihuahua who is very attached emotionally to their owner will not board
as well as an outgoing Golden Retriever who adapts to most any situation.
Some pets may lose or gain weight while boarding. |

| Going Home | |
| Sometimes owners observe
temporary behavioral changes in their pets upon returning home. Some
pets may sleep or eat differently since they altered their pattern in
the kennel. Some owners note that their pets eat and drink voraciously
when they get home. Some pets urinate and defecate more than normal.
It isn’t because we didn’t take proper care of them, but rather because
some pets are reluctant to go to the bathroom in unfamiliar places.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFEED OR OVER WATER AN EXCITED PET. They may vomit
if you do. Upon arrival at home let your pet sip water or lick ice cubes.
Wait a few hours to feed a light meal and give water. |
