Planning a vacation or business trip away from Ho Chi Minh City? Finding a trustworthy hotel stay for your beloved pets is one of the top priorities for responsible pet parents.
A seamless pet boarding experience requires clear preparation. Shifting to an unfamiliar environment can cause temporary separation anxiety if your Boss isn't properly prepared in advance.
Here is a handy checklist from Pet NGON to ensure your dog or cat stays happy, healthy, and relaxed during their boarding stay.
1. Complete Vaccination and Flea Prevention Requirements
Before checking your pet into any reputable boarding facility, ensure their health records are up to date. This protects your pet as well as other furry guests.
Essential health preparations include:
- Up-to-date core vaccinations (Rabies, 5-in-1 or 7-in-1 for dogs; 4-in-1 for cats).
- Flea, tick, and ear mite prevention applied at least 3 days prior.
- Internal deworming given within the past 1-3 months.
Pack an unwashed t-shirt with your scent or your pet's favorite blanket. Familiar odors provide immense comfort and reduce separation stress in new rooms.
2. Pack Their Regular Food & Familiar Toys
Sudden diet changes often trigger gastrointestinal distress and diarrhea in pets. Always provide sufficient daily food portions for the duration of their stay.
Include clear feeding instructions regarding meal times, portion sizes, and any specific dietary supplements or daily medication requirements.
3. Share Behavioral and Medical Notes with Staff
Every pet has unique personality quirks. Communicating these traits helps boarding caretakers give personalized attention:
- Are they shy around strangers or territorial with food?
- Do they have skin allergies or sensitive stomachs?
- Do they prefer quiet cuddles or active playtime?
4. Keep Check-in Goodbyes Short and Upbeat
When dropping your companion off at the pet hotel, avoid prolonged emotional goodbyes. Pets sense human anxiety and may interpret dramatic departures as a reason to feel alarmed.
Hand over your pet with a warm smile and a calm tone of voice.
