Every dog owner knows that our canine friends can be a real handful, but we also know that they’re worth it. The problem is that sometimes it’s just not possible for us to personally give our four-legged friends all the care that they require.

Whether you’re going on a trip and have to leave your companion behind, or live in too small of a space for them to stay home while you’re at work, there are doggy daycare and boarding solutions to fit your needs.

Here are 7 reasons you may want to find a daycare service for your dog.

1.Travel

Whether it’s an unexpected trip and you need last-minute arrangements, or you don’t have other family living at home to take care of your furry friend, doggy hotels can help.

Most venues can handle reservations even without much notice, so your dog can get the care they deserve, even if you’re not around.

2. You Don’t Have Outside Options

Dogs need time to play outside, and sometimes our living arrangements just aren’t well suited to that. Dog boarding venues will have you covered, as most have plenty of space both indoor and outdoor — so your best friend can get the playtime he needs.

3. Home Renovations

Loud noises, scary construction workers, and dust from saws and drywall floating around in the air; all of these things are pretty standard for home renovations, but they can be incredibly stressful for our four-legged friends. A daycare can take care of your pupper in a stress-free environment, where they can play instead of worry.

4. Working Overtime

Dogs are our best friends — however we need to be their best friend too, and sometimes we just don’t have the time. If you’re working long hours at work and your dog is alone at home, doggy daycare can give them the stimulation they need.

5. High Energy Doggos

Some dogs just aren’t meant to be alone — ever. Not for a single minute. If your dog is a furniture chewer, a barker, an escape artist, a digger, or worse, a self-biter, then having them taken care of while you’re away is essential. A boarding venue can be beneficial for both your dog and your furniture.

6. Moving Day

If you’re in the process of moving to a new home, then you’re probably already stressed. Your dog will pick up on that, and it will stress them out as well. They’re also not very good at helping you unpack…

Having them stay in a daycare for a few days can help remove a lot of the stress from an already difficult time.

7. Medical Emergency

Emergencies happen, and they’re never at a convenient time. Your dog can’t come with you to the hospital though, and it may be best not to leave them at home, particularly if you don’t know how long you’ll be gone.

Dog boarding venues can usually fit your furry friend in at the last minute, so you’ve always got somewhere safe you can rely on.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to make plans, get to know your local doggy daycare and boarding center now. When the time comes that your canine friend needs a place to stay for a few days, you’ll be glad to know they’re in good hands.

Whatever the reason, don’t take risks with your four-legged companion — trust the experts to help. You’ll be glad you did — and so will your dog.
