FAMILY DOG BOARDING OR DOG DAYCARE, HOW TO CHOOSE?
In order to choose between a family dog boarding facility, also called an animal foster home, and a dog daycare, it is important to know their differences, advantages and disadvantages.
The family dog boarding facility allows dogs and puppies to be accommodated in a residential house with land or, more rarely, in an apartment more or less suitable for the care of several dogs. Family dog boarding facilities generally have the capacity to accommodate fewer dogs, which provides less stress and better comfort for the canines as well as more individualized attention for the dogs and puppies to be looked after.
The environment and living environment of a family dog boarding facility are similar to the daily routine that dogs encounter every day at home, which is more reassuring. Some family dog boarding facilities have warm boxes or several personalized spaces to separate the dogs if necessary.
Depending on the needs of canine owners, family dog boarding facilities offer various dog care options, either for half a day, a whole day or several days, and food rations are adapted according to dog breeds and their taste preferences. It is possible to find a family dog boarding facility run by a dog behaviorist trainer and which combines dog care and the education of puppies and adult dogs.
Conversely, the dog daycare is a more substantial organized reception structure that can accommodate dozens of dogs. Ideal for socialized dogs accustomed to being surrounded by other dogs, dog daycare centers are equipped with closed boxes, a playground and offer, via a dog trainer, personalized dog training sessions or dog sports such as dog agility.
Like foster families for dogs, dog daycares offer several dog care options for half a day, a full day or several nights.
Dog daycare prices and family dog boarding prices are essentially identical, so the choice between a family dog boarding house and a dog daycare is made mainly according to the behavior and character of the dog to be kept.
In all cases, before booking, it is recommended to visit the dog reception centers on site and meet the owners or staff of the different structures.
