Atlanta Dog Boarding Services
Having worked for the Atlanta Humane Society and Pets are People Too for more than 5 years - let me tell you:
Boarding is a great option...for you, but not so much for your dog.
The reality is:
- Your dog is stuck in a cage (in a very loud and unfamiliar environment).
- Your dog has to be given a special vaccine (called Bordatella or "kennel cough") just to protect them from this disease which is common in kennels due to the number of animals
- For most dogs it is extremely stressful! Imagine being taken from your calm home and put into a cage, in a room with 100 or more other dogs and strange people letting you move around and go to the bathroom only once every 12 hours.
- It can be really expensive. The standard rate for boarding a 40+ pound dog is around $25 a day and for very large dogs it can be as high as $40 a day - for EACH DOG. So if you have multiple dogs (or even cats) you are looking at hundreds of dollars a week.

Look, your dog is like your family, right? Treat him (or her) right and let them stay at home while you are away.
Your home will be safer, they will be happier - and you can save a lot of money (and the hassle of having to drive them to the a boarding kennel).
Do you have a vacation or business trip coming up (or maybe you are just working late - again)?
Either way, we both know that our furry family members need to take of their business, right?
A lot of people do not realize this, but dogs often suffer from separation anxiety when their owner is away from home. This can lead to things like tearing down curtains, going through the trash cans or chewing up shoes.
You Should Try Us Out - Your first visit is FREE
Placing your dog in a kennel could drive this anxiety through the proverbial roof. Why? Because your dog does not know that you are going on a vacation! And to them - being in a cage for days and let out twice a day to releive themselves is simply not enough.
They could think that you are giving them up for adoption. This may be doubly true if the dog was adopted from a local animal shelter.
Once the dog is delivered to a shelter and placed in the confines of a kennel, fear may overwhelm your little guy.
