Hi,
Not sure if I've posted this in the right place but I had a question about options on boarding my puppy and the best way to avoid kennel cough.
Recently, my co-worker had left her bulldog at a boarding kennel when they went away for a few days and when they came back, Higgins got kennel cough. He is currently up to date on vaccinations but I understand that dogs can still get it.
Mia (my pit bull pup) will only be 6 months old when I go on vacation in June (for 10 days). I have been looking into boarding options and I had found this place near my work that had gotten really good reviews, and they have a deal for first time clients (since boarding can get pretty expensive). But after hearing what happened to my co-worker I'm really paranoid now.
I have looked into another option, it's similar to airbnb where regular people will offer their services (dog walking, sitting, boarding etc) and people will write reviews and it will also indicate if they've gotten repeat clients. I found dogvacay.com and pawshake.ca. Obviously you would contact them first and set up a meet-n-greet and check out their home. It would be a little sketch if they didn't have any reviews yet but I guess that's why they say Canadians are so trusting lol.
Has anyone had any experiences with using this kind of service?
Or....anyone in Vancouver, BC want to take care of an ADORABLE pit bull puppy for 10 days??? haha
Thanks!
