Your Canine's
Sense of Smell

A much larger part of a dog’s brain is devoted to processing smells than yours. Some search dogs locate people buried under the snow of avalanches, search for evidence in crime, and find people in the water. Cloudy days, mornings, and evenings are the best times for dogs to search. And depending on the conditions, dogs can pick up a scent up to a half a mile away!

Get Your Dog Proper Vet Care Before Boarding in a Kennel

Since you’re going to test out the kennel with short stays, plan to take your dog to the vet’s for a check-up before the first visit. Have him checked for parasites (heartworm, ticks, ear mites), expect your vet to check his heart and lungs, and get him weighed.

Make copies of the vet’s notes to take with you to the kennel. If you feel strongly that your dog should only see your vet if there’s a problem, put it in a written agreement with the kennel and make sure you, the vet and the kennel have copies. The agreement should also specify what action the kennel will take if your vet is unavailable, or in case of emergency when time is an issue.
