What should I prepare before my dog’s stay with a host?

Preparing for your dog’s stay with a DogVacay host involves several key steps to ensure a smooth transition for both you and your canine companion. First, it is important to gather all of your dog’s essential items, including food, treats, medications, and favorite toys. This helps the host maintain your dog’s routine and comfort. Additionally, you should provide any necessary information about your dog’s daily habits, preferences, and dietary restrictions. It is helpful to fill out a profile that includes your dog’s personality traits, energy level, and specific needs. Before the stay, ensuring that your dog is up to date on vaccinations and flea and tick preventatives can also help in maintaining a healthy environment for all pets involved. You might want to consider a pre-stay meet and greet with the host, as this allows your dog to become familiar with their new environment and the caregiver. This meeting can help alleviate any anxiety for both you and your dog, as it creates a sense of comfort and trust. Lastly, you can look for any contact information or guidelines regarding the preparation process on the current DogVacay web page to ensure you have the latest recommendations.
