Planning a weekend getaway, business trip, or holiday family visit outside Ho Chi Minh City often poses a big question: who will look after your beloved pets while you are away?
Leaving your dog or cat at a pet hotel can cause separation anxiety for both pets and owners. However, with proper advance preparation, boarding can turn into a fun, relaxing staycation for your Boss.
At Pet NGON Pet Hotel in Bình Chánh, we treat every boarding guest like family. To help your pet transition smoothly, here is our ultimate guide to preparing your pet for hotel boarding.
Essential Health & Vaccination Checklist
Before booking any pet hotel, ensuring your pet's health protection is the top priority. Responsible pet hotels require current health records to safeguard all boarders.
- Up-to-date vaccinations: Core vaccines (5-in-1 or 7-in-1 for dogs; 4-in-1 for cats) plus Rabies vaccination must be completed at least 2 weeks prior to stay.
- Flea & tick preventative: Ensure your pet has received recent spot-on treatment or oral preventative.
- Deworming status: Internal parasites should be treated beforehand.
Always bring your pet's physical vaccination book when checking in at Pet NGON Hotel to streamline the registration process.
What to Pack for Your Pet's Boarding Stay
Bringing familiar objects from home significantly reduces stress by comforting your pet with recognizable scents.
- Their daily regular food: Sudden dietary changes cause digestive distress. Pack enough regular kibble, wet food, or raw food portioned for their stay duration.
- A comfortable unwashed blanket or shirt: Smelling your scent calms anxiety during the first night.
- Favorite toys: Pack 1-2 durable favorite toys for play sessions.
- Medications & special instructions: Clearly label any daily supplements or prescription medicines with precise dosage notes.
Trial Stays: The Key for Nervous Pets
If your pet has never stayed away from home before, booking a short trial day-care session 1–2 weeks before your actual vacation works wonders. This teaches your pet that you will always return to take them home.
During a trial stay, staff evaluate your pet's temperament, feeding habits, and comfort levels in social settings.
