Preparing for a trip is exciting, but we know that leaving your four-legged family member behind can come with a bit of anxiety. At Rob Cary Pet Resort, we want to make the transition from your home to our San Antonio dog boarding facility as seamless as possible for both you and your pup. While we provide premium amenities like climate-controlled suites and comfy Kuranda beds, bringing a few specific items from home can help your dog settle in and feel secure. To ensure your pet has the best possible experience, we have put together this essential packing guide to help you get ready for their upcoming visit.
Consistent Nutrition and Familiar Meals
We recommend packing your dog’s usual food to maintain their digestive health during their stay. Sudden changes in diet can lead to upset stomachs, so providing pre-portioned bags of their regular kibble is ideal. While we proudly serve premium Fromm Pet Food, keeping things consistent with what they eat at home is often best for sensitive pups.
Comforts and Scents From Home
To help your dog feel relaxed, we encourage you to bring an old t-shirt or towel that carries your scent. Having a familiar smell in their suite provides immense comfort and reduces potential homesickness. While we provide cozy bedding, you may also bring up to two favorite toys that can help your pet stay entertained and feel right at home.
Necessary Medications and Supplements
If your pup requires daily medication or vitamins, please bring them in their original packaging with clear labeling. Our trained staff is experienced in administering various treatments to ensure your pet stays on their regular health routine. Providing us with detailed instructions helps us provide the same level of care they receive at home while you are away traveling.
Up-to-Date Records and Contact Info
Before check-in, ensure we have your dog’s latest vaccination records, including Rabies, DHLP, Parvo, and Bordetella. Having these documents ready, along with an emergency contact number, ensures a swift check-in process. We prioritize the safety of all our guests, and having this information on hand allows us to focus entirely on giving your dog a fun, secure stay.
Packing the right essentials ensures your pet feels confident and cared for while you are away. From maintaining their specific diet to providing familiar scents for comfort, these small steps make a significant difference in their overall happiness. At Rob Cary Pet Resort, we are dedicated to providing a luxury environment where your dog can thrive through play and relaxation. Our expert team is ready to welcome your pup to their home away from home. If you have questions about our requirements or would like to schedule a tour of our 40,000-square-foot facility, please contact us today.
