Husky (detailed introduction)

The issue of dog boarding is actually not as simple as we think. Boarding a dog is not just about finding a place to put them for a few days. There are many precautions to be aware of, so every owner has a serious consideration before boarding. Understanding what the precautions for dog boarding are is what most dog owners should pay attention to.

1. Boarding has some psychological impact on dogs to some extent. Suddenly going to an unfamiliar environment and facing strangers will cause some emotional nervousness. Most dogs do not like to urinate or defecate where they live. During boarding, if the dogs are confined in small metal cages and they are not accustomed to it, they will hold back their excretion, which is very unhealthy, this is one issue; secondly, the limited space in the boarding facility may cause the dog to lack exercise; thirdly, the dog suddenly cannot see its owner and may become emotionally depressed, even lose appetite. These situations all affect the dog's health, but they are not inevitable. Owners must decide whether boarding is suitable based on their dog's psychological and health condition.

2. Some dogs are not suitable for boarding. Psychologically, if your dog is unstable or overly dependent on the owner, it is not very suitable for boarding because such dogs are more afraid of strangers. During boarding, they will feel anxious due to loss of owner's care, bark continuously, bite the cage, or even try to escape. In addition, puppies that are too young are also unsuitable for boarding because their immunity is weak and adaptability is low, requiring careful care. Boarding facilities tend to have bacterial infections, which can be very dangerous for puppies only a few months old. Once infected, it may be life-threatening. If your dog suffers from illnesses such as diabetes or skin allergies, it is also unsuitable for boarding. Dogs with these diseases need careful or individualized care and regular medication. Otherwise, their condition may worsen. In such cases, owners should handle carefully and try to avoid leaving them in boarding facilities.

From this, it can be seen that boarding is not as simple as we imagine. There are many precautions, including environmental factors and the dog’s personality, that determine whether boarding is appropriate. Therefore, before owners decide to board their dogs, they should carefully consider these issues.
