Boarding Your Animal

For months, taking care of my pet was really, really challenging. It seemed like my animal didn't like listening to what I wanted it to do, and it was a constant struggle. As I thought about what to do, a friend of mine suggested boarding the pet to help it to learn important behavioral techniques. It was a new idea to me at the time, but I didn't have much to lose. I boarded the pet for a few weeks at a training facility, and when I got the dog back, things had dramatically improved. Read this website for advice on pet boarding.

4 Pet Pick Up Service Facts

by Rosa Gomez

Everyone is busy in this day and age, including pets! Your dog has places to go and people to see. Dogs thrive when socialized well, and services such as pet daycare, veterinary care, and grooming can help your dog have a long and happy life. Between work and your other commitments, you may not have time to drive your dog to all their appointments. Fortunately, there are pet pick up services that can take care of the task for you. Here are four facts that curious dog owners should know about pet pick up service: 

1. Shared transportation can save you money.

If your dog is sociable, choosing shared rides can cut down on your transportation costs. Pet pick up services allow animals from different households to ride together if they get along. Shared transportation is affordable since the driver does not have to clear their schedule to accommodate your pet alone. Pet pick up services can ensure that all animals have received all their vaccinations, so you don't have to worry about your pet contracting an illness during their ride.

2. Round trips are available.

Dropping your dog off at daycare is a simple one-way trip. Some owners even prefer to pick up their pets from daycare after work. However, other appointments require a return trip home. Vet appointments and grooming appointments typically conclude within an hour. Fortunately, many pet transportation services provide round trips for pets. Your pet's driver will wait for your pet's appointment to finish before giving your pet a ride home. You'll need to schedule round trips in advance since this service is only possible when other pets are not transported simultaneously.

3. Safety is of the utmost importance.

Your pet's safety is always your priority. Pets are transported in pet-safe vehicles by competent, cautious drivers. Smaller pets may be crated to prevent injury during transport. Larger animals are carefully monitored to ensure they do not distract the driver or do anything unsafe.

4. Pickups can be arranged at unusual times.

Most pet pick up services operate during standard business hours, but there may be times when you require service during unusual hours. Many pet transportation services will be happy to drive your pet to an appointment late at night or early in the morning with sufficient advance notice. If you plan to rely on a pet transportation service in the event of an emergency, discuss that expectation with your service provider ahead of time. Some companies provide emergency transportation for pets, while others do not.
