Whether you have an upcoming work trip or are vacationing to a location where pets aren’t allowed, one of the best things you can do is take your pooch to a kennel for in-home dog boarding. For those who have yet to experience it, K-9 Camp & Boarding Retreat understands there are some worrisome misconceptions. A veritable pet resort, this Kalispell, MT, kennel is known throughout the area as the “Ritz Carlton” for dogs! To put you at ease, they're here to debunk the most common myths.

4 Myths About In-Home Dog Boarding

1. Dogs Will Get Sick

K-9 Camp & Boarding Retreat requires all canine campers to have up-to-date vaccinations and shots. Recent medical records will also need to be supplied. Since this is mandatory for everyone, you can trust all precautions are taken to keep your dogs healthy.

2. Separation Anxiety Will Worsen

While separation anxiety is linked to your dog’s desire to be beside you, much of it is also because they don’t want to be alone. Not only does in-home dog boarding provide them with human companions, but they’ll also get a chance to make some new four-legged friends! Furthermore, consistently utilizing dog boarding, even for just a night when you’re still in town, will reduce their separation anxiety over time.

3. Dogs Will Be Left Unsupervised

When you entrust your pup’s care to an in-home dog boarding facility, they’ll be given the utmost attention so they are as comfortable as possible. Just because they'll have space to explore doesn't mean they'll be unsupervised, however!

4. Fights Will Ensue

Reputable kennels constantly monitor their canine campers. Because of this, we defuse potential conflict long before anything happens. In addition, K-9 Camp & Boarding Retreat carefully screens all “guests” before taking reservations and doesn’t accept aggressive breeds, so you’ll have peace of mind that your dog is safe.
