Unless a dog has a cognitive disorder, chances are that your dog will not forget you. Anyone who has worked at a veterinarian clinic will testify that dogs miss their owners when they are boarded. Dogs tend to do better at a boarding facility when they have mementos from home such as toys, blankets, and a shirt or blanket that carries their owner’s smell.
All dog owners should take the time to look for a proper boarding facility, even if they do not ever intend on boarding their dog. Most likely a day will come when you find you have to board your dog, even if only for a few days. Choosing a place where you are comfortable boarding your dog in advance will help you to avoid rush decisions that you may later regret.
