Preparing for your pet's boarding stay can be both exciting and a bit overwhelming. Ensuring that your fur baby has everything they need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay is crucial. This guide will help you understand what to pack for your pet's boarding stay with Furends Pet Studio, ensuring they feel at home and receive the best care possible.
1. Essential Documents
Before heading to the boarding facility, gather all necessary documents. These typically include:
Vaccination Records: At Furends Pet Studio, we require proof of up-to-date vaccinations to ensure the safety and health of all pets.
Medical History: If your pet has any medical conditions, bring a copy of their medical history, including recent treatments and any medications they are currently taking.
Emergency Contact Information: Provide us with your contact information and an emergency contact who can make decisions on your behalf if needed.
2. Comfortable Bedding and Blankets
Bringing your pet's own bedding or blankets can provide a sense of familiarity and comfort. The scent of home will help reduce anxiety and make their stay more pleasant. Ensure the bedding is washable and labeled with your pet’s name. We also provide bedding and blankets for your pets.
3. Favorite Toys and Chews
Pack a few of your pet's favorite toys and chews to keep them entertained and engaged. Familiar toys can provide comfort and help pass the time. Opt for durable and safe options that your pet enjoys.
4. Sufficient Food and Treats
If you choose to provide food for your pet during their stay at Furends Pet Studio, pack enough of your pet's regular food to last the entire boarding duration. Sudden changes in diet can cause digestive issues, so it’s best to stick with what they’re used to. If you choose for us to prepare the food, we will follow the exact meal plan according to your pets routine at home. Include any special treats or snacks they enjoy, and provide feeding instructions to the boarding staff.
5. Medications and Supplements
If your pet requires any medications or supplements, pack them in clearly labeled containers with detailed instructions. Inform us about the dosage and administration schedule to ensure your pet receives their medications on time.
6. Leash, Collar, and ID Tags
Ensure your pet’s collar has up-to-date ID tags with your contact information. Pack a sturdy leash and collar/harness for any walks or outings. This ensures your pet is always secure and easily identifiable.
7. Grooming Supplies
While many boarding facilities offer grooming services, it’s a good idea to pack some basic grooming supplies, especially if your pet has specific needs. Include items like a brush, comb, and any special shampoos or conditioners they require. You DO NOT need to pack this for your pets stay at Furends Pet Studio, unless exceptions.
8. Comfort Items
Consider packing comfort items such as a piece of clothing with your scent or a favorite blanket. These items can help reduce anxiety and provide a sense of security during their stay.
9. Clear Instructions for Care
Provide us with clear and detailed instructions for your pet’s care routine. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific preferences or habits your pet has. The more information you provide, the better our team can cater to your pet’s needs.
10. Contact Information for Your Veterinarian
Include your veterinarian’s contact information in case of any medical emergencies. It’s also helpful to inform your vet that your pet will be boarding and provide the boarding facility’s contact information.
Conclusion
Packing for your pet’s boarding stay involves more than just their basic needs. Ensuring they have their favorite toys, comfortable bedding, and familiar items can make a significant difference in their experience.
At Furends Pet Studio, we strive to make your pet’s stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
