5 Step Checklist for Spring Break Pet Boarding – The tickets are booked, the hotel is reserved, and the anticipation of a much-needed getaway is here. But, don’t let the excitement become unnecessarily stressful by delaying your pet’s vacation boarding plans… especially during popular Spring Break and holiday travel times. Not only is it important to reserve your pet’s placement, but it’s also crucial that you have all of their needed forms and medications prior to arrival.
Use this checklist for Spring Break Pet Boarding to minimize stress, for your pet and yourself, while planning for your pet’s boarding:
- If you haven’t already, schedule a visit at the boarding facility to see where your pets sleep, outdoor accessibility, security, and meet the staff for peace of mind that your family pets will be loved while you’re away.
- Reserve your dates. Boarding fills up quickly- especially during peak holidays and vacation times, like Spring Break. As soon as you know your travel dates, call to reserve your pet’s room.
- Request an updated vaccination record from your veterinarian. In addition to up-to-date vaccines, cats and dogs are often required to have additional vaccines specific to boarding. Check with the facility for their requirements and schedule necessary shots with your veterinarian.
- Ensure that you have enough food, treats, and medication, if needed, for your pet’s stay. We do provide food if you choose to use ours. Pack for at least one day extra in case of travel delays.
- Plan on pampering. Days filled with playing and lazing can be “ruff.” Schedule a bath or grooming during their visit so they’re refreshed and recharged for their return home.
