Finding the Optimal Age for Dog Boarding
Now that you know what goes into finding an
appropriate place for your four-legged friend, let's
discuss age requirements! Generally speaking,
puppies between 8 weeks and 6 months old should
wait until they've had all their necessary shots
before going offsite overnight due to the potential
health risks associated with young pups interacting
with others who haven't been vaccinated yet.
Age Groups & Factors To Consider When
Boarding A Puppy
0-3 Months Old
At this young age, puppies should not be
boarded as they have not yet received all of
their vaccinations or built up immunity against
diseases such as parvovirus, which could put
them at risk if exposed during boarding. It’s
also important to note that pups under 3
months old may still require frequent daily
feedings due to their small stomach size,
making overnight stays difficult without proper
caretakers on hand 24/7.
4-6 Months Old
During this time frame, puppies are typically more
independent but still require supervision when left
alone (especially around other animals). They should
receive all necessary vaccines before being boarded,
and owners must ensure that any facility they choose
has staff who know how to handle younger dogs
properly.
7+ Months Old
Once a puppy reaches 7 months old or older they
become much less fragile than those between 4-6
months old and therefore better suited for longer
periods away from home (such as overnight stays).
However, even though they may no longer require
constant supervision like younger pups do; it’s
important that owners continue providing regular
exercise opportunities through activities, such as
walks or trips outside whenever possible or
registering with a doggy daycare - in order to keep
them healthy both physically and mentally while away
from home.
