Tips to protect your pet’s health

-

● Ask relevant questions when choosing a boarding facility.

● Reputable boarding kennels or catteries require proof that your pet’s vaccinatio­n certificat­e is up to date before admitting them.

● Have you been to view the boarding facilities yourself – preferably unannounce­d?

● Have you made sure the food being served by the boarding facility meets your pet’s dietary requiremen­ts?

● Does the facility appear to be well maintained?

● Have you been able to observe how staff treat and handle the animals?

● Does a vet regularly visit the facility?

● Are staff trained to recognise animals that may not be well?

● Have you asked for references? Source: NSPCA
