What makes a good dog hotel
A good dog hotel gives your dog a clean, dry, comfortable room of its own, with dogs from the same family able to stay together. Ask how big the rooms are and how often dogs get out of them.
Exercise and company matter as much as the room. Find out how many walks or play sessions are included, whether dogs play in supervised groups matched by size and temperament, and what happens with dogs who prefer their own company.
Check vaccination requirements (including kennel cough), how medication and special diets are handled, which vet they use, and who is there at night.
Questions pet owners ask
What is the difference between a dog hotel and boarding kennels?
Both offer overnight stays. A dog hotel usually means larger indoor rooms, more one-to-one time and extras like grooming or webcams, while traditional boarding kennels are often outdoor runs.
What vaccinations does my dog need for boarding?
Most dog hotels require up-to-date core vaccinations and kennel cough (Bordetella), usually given at least two weeks before the stay. Bring the certificate.
Can I bring my dog’s own food and bed?
Usually yes. Keeping their normal food avoids tummy upsets, and a familiar blanket or toy helps them settle.
Do dog hotels offer daycare?
Many do. Use the Daycare filter on the directory to find dog hotels that offer it.
