Dog-Friendly Travel: Leaving Your Fur Baby in Caring Hands

Recent trends indicate that more than two-thirds of pet owners are considering cancelling their travel plans because they don’t want to leave their furry friends behind. It’s a common dilemma: you want to enjoy a holiday, but the thought of leaving your beloved pet can be distressing. Fortunately, there’s a solution that allows you to embark on your adventures without worry—by leaving your pets in the capable hands of our responsible team at Pet Stays.

At Pet Stays, we specialise in boutique dog boarding, providing a loving, home-away-from-home environment tailored to meet the unique needs of each dog. With nearly a decade of experience, our team is dedicated to ensuring that your pet receives the highest standard of care while you’re away. We know how important it is for you to feel confident that your dog is in safe and loving hands, and we strive to provide that peace of mind.

One of the key aspects that sets Pet Stays apart is our commitment to personalised care. We understand that every dog has its own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior needing extra attention, or a pet with specific medical requirements, our dedicated staff is here to cater to their individual needs.

Caring for Senior Dogs

Senior dogs often require special attention and care, and at Pet Stays, we are well-equipped to provide just that. We recognise that older dogs may have different energy levels and health concerns compared to their younger counterparts. Our team is trained to handle various age-related issues, from mobility challenges to dietary needs.

When you leave your senior dog with us, you can rest assured that they will receive the gentle care and attention they deserve. We take the time to understand their routines and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and at ease during their stay. Our home environment allows senior dogs to relax and enjoy their time without the stress of a kennel setting.

Managing Dogs on Medication

If your dog requires medication, you can feel confident knowing that our team is experienced in administering various types of medications. Whether it’s oral tablets, injections, or topical treatments, we follow all instructions carefully to ensure your dog receives the appropriate care.

We understand that administering medication can be a source of anxiety for both dogs and their owners. Our compassionate staff is trained to handle these situations with care and expertise, making sure that your pet’s health needs are met while maintaining their comfort. We keep detailed records of each dog’s medication schedule and monitor their health closely during their stay.

Supporting Anxious Dogs

For dogs that experience anxiety, whether due to separation, changes in routine, or other factors, Pet Stays provides a calm and reassuring environment. We know that anxious dogs require extra patience and understanding, and our team is well-versed in creating a soothing atmosphere that helps them feel secure.

We take the time to build trust with anxious dogs, allowing them to adjust to their surroundings at their own pace. Our home environment, free from the stress of kennels, allows dogs to relax and feel more at home. We also offer plenty of playtime, socialisation, and gentle reassurance to help them settle in.

We certainly understand that anxious owners often share their pets’ worries. It’s natural to feel concerned about leaving your dog behind, especially if they are prone to anxiety. That’s why we prioritise communication with pet owners. We provide regular updates and photos to reassure you that your furry friend is doing well and enjoying their time with us.

Building Trust with Pet Owners

At Pet Stays, we believe that trust is key to providing exceptional care. We work hard to establish strong relationships with pet owners, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident in our abilities. Our team is always available to discuss your pet’s needs and any specific concerns you may have.

We also take the time to meet with you before your dog’s stay, allowing us to understand their personality and preferences. This initial meeting is crucial in building trust and ensuring that we are fully prepared to meet your dog’s needs while you’re away. We want to make this transition as smooth as possible for both you and your pet.

A Home-Away-From-Home Environment

One of the most significant advantages of choosing Pet Stays is our home-away-from-home environment. Unlike traditional kennels, where dogs may feel anxious or confined, our setup allows them to roam freely and feel relaxed. Dogs are treated as part of our extended family, receiving plenty of love and attention from our dedicated staff. They are not locked up in cold concrete kennels.

Our facilities are designed to provide comfort and security, with cosy resting areas inside and out, safe play zones, and ample opportunities for social interaction. Whether your dog enjoys lounging on the couch, playing with toys, or simply soaking up the sun in the garden, they will feel right at home.

Of course, we do understand that sometimes finding a spot on the couch at night can feel like an Olympic sport! With our furry friends often claiming the best spots for themselves, we find ourselves fighting for space to enjoy a movie. But let’s be honest—who can resist those big puppy eyes and adorable snores? At Pet Stays, we encourage dogs to find their favourite napping spots, so you can imagine your pet comfortably sprawled out while you’re away, allowing them to indulge in their own couch potato moments.

Ensuring a Safe and Loving Experience

Safety is always our top priority at Pet Stays. We have implemented strict protocols to ensure that all dogs in our care are safe, healthy, and happy. Our facility is regularly cleaned and maintained to create a hygienic environment for your pets.

We also monitor the dogs closely for any signs of stress or discomfort, ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly. Our experienced staff are trained to handle emergencies and with a 24/7 emergency vet within a 10 minute drive should this ever be required. You can have peace of mind knowing that your dog is in a secure environment with a caring and attentive team.

Enjoying Your Travels with Peace of Mind

When you choose to leave your dog with us, you can embark on your travels with confidence. Knowing that your furry friend is receiving the highest level of care will allow you to relax and enjoy your time away. Whether you’re going on a short getaway or a longer holiday, Pet Stays is here to provide a loving and nurturing experience for your pet.

At Pet Stays, we are passionate about ensuring that every dog feels loved, secure, and happy while their owners are away. We understand the special bond between pets and their families, and we are committed to upholding that bond by providing exceptional care in a welcoming environment.

So, if you’re planning a trip and need a trusted place for your furry companion, look no further than Pet Stays. We are here to care for your beloved dog as if they were our own, ensuring they have a wonderful experience while you’re away. With our dedicated team and personalised approach, you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in the best possible hands.
