Keeping pets at home can be a pleasure, but what happens when you go on holiday or a business trip? Most people find a local kennel, which seems cruel, but in fact is the best thing to do. Hafod-Y-Bryn offers kennels in Rhyl for those who find great difficulty with taking pets on their travels.

You may be travelling by plane or a long car journey, which can be gruelling for animals and sometimes impossible. In addition, you may have friends, family or a business partner staying that is extremely scared of dogs. There are many factors that need to be considered. It’s important to do your research on the best kennels available for your beloved pet.

Key question: What should you consider when choosing a kennel?

When you hear the word ‘Kennel’ you may have visions of a prison for pets, however this is not the case at all. Most of them shouldn’t be termed ‘kennels’, but rather pet hotels. Many dogs are used to getting treated like humans, and that’s exactly the type of care they will receive at the majority of kennels available. Kennels provide a comfy living space, a safe and secure environment and of course, the required food and water.

Like humans, dogs like familiarity. Therefore, it might be a good idea to ask if you can take your dog’s bed and food to the kennels. This allows them to feel at home, as the scent of the family home will linger. Note: Don’t turn up on the day and assume it’s allowed, as kennels may have a policy against this to prevent the spread of diseases or fleas. As well as all of this, we’d recommend touring the facility beforehand to see how clean it is and how it’s run. It may appear as a lot of effort, but you need to have your pet’s well-being at interest. Don’t settle for anything less than the best for your beloved pets.
