Millions of people around the world wrestle with the question of where to place their pets when a natural disaster, sudden illness or an emergency trip means that they will be away for a while. The owners often try to take their pets along with them in their travels only to discover that animals may not be welcome at the hotel, or allowed on the plane. Other pet owners turn over the care of their animals to well-meaning but untrained neighbors, or friends. Again, the results are often unsatisfactory. Due to a deficiency of constant and informed custody of the pets, many times they will run away or develop a grave illness.
Pets need better supervision to be safe; they also need play and attention. There is another alternative available when pet care is required, and thankfully, most pet owners will choose to utilize a professional boarding kennel when they need someone else to care for their animal. In any given year, full-time professional dog boarding kennels provide the most reliable, knowledgeable and experienced care available to well over 30,000,000 conscientious pet owners.
Because competent, ethical boarding kennels are an important part of your pet care program, and because the selection of a boarding kennel can be a confusing and disconcerting process for pet owners, the American Boarding Kennels Association (ABKA) has assembled this data to assist you in evaluating, selecting, and working with your local boarding kennel.
