Whenever you want to travel out of town, figuring out where to leave your dog or cat can be stressful. Since we don't want you stressed about something exciting like a vacation, we have a way out. Bay Road Animal Hospital in Sarasota, FL, offers pet boarding services to take care of your beloved animal whenever you are out of town.
Options for Your Pet When Traveling
You certainly don't want to leave your pet alone. The chances of your furry friend suffering from separation anxiety could increase. In light of this, proper planning is essential whenever you want to go on a vacation.
Here are the options you have for your pet:
Taking your pet to a friend or relative's house: This option works, but as our friends and relatives are busy with their own lives, this option is more of a short-term fix. If you are looking for a more permanent solution, you must explore other options.
Hire a professional sitter: This option is ideal because your pet doesn't have to adapt to another environment. Unfortunately, hiring a sitter can be costly. The costs start from $20 per visit, but can easily add up for longer travels. While this option works, always cross-check the sitter to ensure he or she has the relevant experience to care for pets.
Pet boarding: We usually recommend pet boarding because you can access our services whenever you need to travel, may it be for a short or long period. The beauty of pet boarding is that your pet receives all-inclusive care from professionals trained to handle pets. Besides keeping your pet active indoors and outdoors, we monitor your pet's behavior and well-being and recommend appropriate corrective care.
If you want pet boarding services, remember your pet needs to be vaccinated to protect it and the other animals staying with us. It's also essential to have proper pet identification, familiar blankets, extra food, and leave your contact information.
