The Right Questions to Ask

A Kennel Employee

Take your dog on one or two visits to the kennel before booking to see how he reacts to the caregivers. Drop by unexpectedly on one occasion so you can see whether the kennel was just putting on a show during your scheduled visit.

What to Ask

• What will the dog’s day be like, hour by hour? When is she taken outside? How many times? When will she eat?
• How much interaction will she have with the other dogs?
• Is there an extra charge for individual playtime?
• Who will be working with my dog? How many people will my pet interact with during the day?
• What will you do if she gets sick?
• Will I receive a record of what she has done during the day?
• Do you supply the food and the treats for the dogs, or should we send hers along?
• Which local veterinarians refer clients to you?
