Toys and Comfort Items

It’s important to bring items that your dog associates with home to make them feel more comfortable while boarding. These items can include their favorite toy, blanket, or even their bed. Having familiar objects around them can help reduce anxiety and stress levels, ensuring your dog’s stay is more comfortable and enjoyable.
