Finding a good boarding kennel
This is not as easy as it sounds, and there are certainly plenty of choices out there. One of the best things you can do as regards finding a good boarding kennel is to ask friends and family for advice and a referral. Dog owners are very careful and caring, too. If they have to put their beloved pet in a boarding kennels in Wicklow, they will most certainly have worked hard to find the best possible kennel for their animal. For this reason, it is always a good idea to talk to people you know and trust about boarding kennels and ask for a recommendation. After that, and if you don’t know anyone who has used a good kennel before, you need to go and find them. The majority of people start looking online, and this is a perfectly good place to start. Many good Wicklow boarding kennels advertise online, so you are sure to find a few that you can create a shortlist from. Another great place to go is your vets. A good boarding kennel will be allowed to advertise at the vets, and if they haven’t formally advertised, you will usually find that the vet is happy to recommend one for you. This will be because the boarding kennels will have developed a strong enough reputation for the vet to recognise their quality, and you can be absolutely certain that a vet would not recommend a poor quality kennel. It is not in their best interests to do so. So in addition to talking to friends and family, asking around at the vets is probably the next best things for you. Those are two ways you can find a trustworthy and reliable boarding kennels set up that should bring you more peace of mind as you go away on holiday or away on business. The state of the kennels
If you have chosen dog kennels in Dublin for your dog then the next thing you should be doing is arranging an opportunity to go and take a good look around the place. It is important that you are able to find a place that allows you to have a look. You need to know how the kennels work on a daily basis, and you should be able to make your decision with this visit being a vital part of that decision-making process. If you are serious about finding good kennels for your dog, then it is vital that you take a good look at the kennels you have identified. Essentially, you need to be sure that you are happy to leave your dog in the care of these people. If a kennels does not allow you to visit before you pay them any money or book your pet in then steer well clear. Every kennels organisation should happily allow you to come and visit and take a look around. It makes no sense for them not to be happy to show you the building and the facilities. If they are a company that has integrity and likes what they do, then it should be absolutely no problem for them to allow you to visit. You are looking for clean kennels in Wicklow first and foremost. You will be able to tell immediately whether or not a kennels is clean simply by sight. It is very difficult to hide dirt that animals produce and it should be part of stringent cleaning processes that the kennels has in place. If you see any evidence of waste that hasn’t been cleaned up for some time, then this is a sign that the kennels is not as clean is it should be. Animals should not be lying around or even walking around waste for long. It is part of general animal care and compassion. What to do when looking at kennels
Finding good Dublin kennels for your dog is vitally important if you are to feel confident that they are to be looked after and that their best interests and needs are to be accommodated. This is a simple process, as long as you treat it with a sensible and focused approach. If you are currently in the process of ringing around and discussing your pet with kennels, this is the perfect time to ascertain the quality of a kennels set up. If the person who answers the phone is friendly and seems warm and approachable, this is a very good sign. You want your dog to be in a setting that is warm and safe, and you want the human beings around him or her to have a friendly approach to things. If this is not coming across over the phone, this is not a good sign. Fresh and fun, and with a lovely warm feel to their voice, the best staff at kennels are certainly those you would not hesitate to leave your dog with. You should be able to expect any questions you may have to be answered on the telephone. This is the member of staff’s job, and if they are able to answer questions fully and confidently, this is a good sign. Again, this is about your expectations. You should expect to be able to talk to staff that know everything there is to know about the process of keeping a dog in kennels. This should be a given. If the person answering the phone cannot answer any questions in a way that you feel is suitable and brings you a confident feeling, then don't bother continuing. Those are just a couple of considerations that you should have if you are ringing around and trying to find kennels in Dublin for your dog. This is the lovely kitten called Ginger...yes I know... she's not... it's complicated.
