Why Choose Our Dog DayCare / Dog Boarding Services in Melbourne?
What sets us apart, is that your dogs experience is infinitely better, safer and natural. We only use the most experienced exceptional caring 'dog people'. We will arrange a pre visit drop off at the dog boarding persons house. The person that will walk your dog twice a day, allow them to roam free in their back grassed yards, and sleep inside at night on their beds.Sometimes the daycare person has a few other dogs boarding, sometimes just yours. We prefer other social dogs to be in their house, because for social dogs this is company. The houses are domestic houses with plenty of room and rooms so your dog can be as close to or as far away from other dogs as they want. They are not restricted, they have a lot of freedom of choice in how to deal with not having their owner return at their usual hour.
The walks not only burn your dogs excess energy, but that helps calm them down when they return to reduce separation anxiety.
Dog Kennels/ Dog Boarding Melbourne
This section is dedicated to letting you know what we are not.The old style dog kennels and boarding places typically have a lot of concrete and wire to keep aggressive dogs at bay. There are too many dogs for the people to really look after, and that just to keep their profits up. The dogs might get very short walks outside of the facility, which is aimed more at people driving by seeing their advertising, than the dog having a good time.
These places can be too cold or hot, may not have attentive people watching the dog overnight, and often are full of howling dogs missing their owners. We often hear about dogs catching kennel cough, fleas or other diseases and conditions in these dog prisons.
NO, not all large scale boarding places are like this, but unless you stay with your dog the entire time, they could often end up being a version of these old school scenarios.
Dog Hotels Melbourne
Are essentially an updated version of the sterile dog kennels. They are not as austere as a cold concrete kennel, but they are made mostly to appease a misguided view of the owners dog paradise, rather than provide the dog with what they need during the stressful time you are away.A flat-screen in each dog hotel room, lots of vivid colours on the walls (that the dog cant see) does not make up for the much lower dog numbers and more natural home-style environments our dog guardians provide.
