Just gathering up information for this fall when we come down! We will have a couple of our tiny dogs, who we can easily keep in our camper on the days we are at the parks. But I am thinking of bringing my German Shepherd girl with as well, and I wouldn't leave her all day (or even a couple hours) without me being there, because I'm not sure how she would act in the camper....
So I'm looking into the option of boarding her there for those days that we'll be in the parks for a longer time... The kennel there seems to be very well liked, so I'm not worried about that. But I'm looking for more details from people who have used them, such as.....
1. Is there ever a discount for multiple dogs in the same "room"? Just thinking then she would have a familiar "face" with her during the day, but not sure that's really necessary...
2. What shots are required, and what proof is needed of those shots? An additional question- if a dog is coming but not being boarded, what shots are required and what proof is needed? example: we typically don't do kennel cough vaccinations because our dogs never go anywhere, but I think it would be one we'd want if she was boarded- not sure if we'd want it just for the little Chihuahuas that will stay at the camper.
3. My Shepherd, Hope, is what I'd call overly attached to me. (which is why I'm thinking of bringing her now that we have our own camper- it would make us both happy, because I, in turn, am a little over attached to her) I'm not sure how she'll be at the kennel- she's not mean, but she also has never been left somewhere with strangers. Is there a good way to handle this? Really, what I want for her, is just her own little area during those day where she has room to move around, and not have to be kenneled in her crate while we are gone. I don't need her walked, unless she would enjoy it
I think that's all for now, other than does anyone have current prices? Thank you!!
