Every day, people throughout the world face the problem of where to take their beloved pets when an illness, emergency, or other situation makes it impossible for them to provide care. Though many animal lovers try to bring their pets along, they often get to their destination to find that their hotel has restrictions, their pet has developed a sickness as result of the travel, or their pet might run away due to the strange surroundings. Another option is for the pet owner to leave a well intentioned but untrained friend or neighbor in charge of the animal. But there is no guarantee that the animal will be properly cared for. When an untrained person is "looking in on" a pet from time to time, sometimes the pet ends up escaping or becoming sick due to the lack of supervision.
A pet must be kept in a safe and secure environment, and they need to be entertained. Luckily, most pet owners who need temporary help with care turn to the professionals at a boarding kennel. A professional boarding kennel can supply the most protected and expert supervision for pets-- a fact that over 30 million animal lovers acknowledge every year by boarding their animals.
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.
