How a Pet Boarding Checklist Ensures a Great Stay for Your Best Friend
Planning to board your pet while vacationing or working near North Lake Tahoe? A well-prepared pet boarding checklist is paramount to ensure your furry friend has a comfortable and stress-free stay. Here are some general tips to keep in mind.
- Make Reservations in Advance
Booking early is essential, particularly during peak seasons such as holidays and ski season. This ensures your pet has a reserved spot, avoiding any last-minute hassles.
- Prepare Your Pet’s Paperwork
Ensure all vaccinations are up to date and you have the necessary documentation ready for review. This typically includes records for Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, and Canine Influenza for dogs, and FVRCP for cats.
- Pack the Essentials
Include pre-portioned meals for pets with specific dietary needs and any necessary medications. Label everything clearly to prevent any confusion. At Truckee-Tahoe, for example, we prefer all meals to be packaged separately in clearly labeled, resealable bags. And keep in mind that many resorts charge a nominal fee for the administration of medicines.
- Plan Drop-Off and Pickup Times
Familiarize yourself with your boarding facility’s operational hours and plan your drop-off and pickup around these times to ensure smooth transitions for your pet.
- Communicate Special Needs
If your pet has specific requirements such as allergies, dietary restrictions, or anxiety issues, discuss these with the boarding staff to ensure they can accommodate your pet’s needs.
