Indicators That It's Time To Get Citified Go to a Cattery or Board

A large number of cats and other domestic pets end up at a cattery, kennel, cat lodge, or other sort of canine boarding center over the holidays because their owners are too busy to take them along on their travels.

Cat owners who pick a boarding cattery over the holidays should be aware of the considerable amount of preparation that goes into a cat's stay at a boarding facility.

Pet owners who are interested in arranging a stay for their feline friends at a Cat Boarding Palos Verdes might use the information provided here as a guide.

Most catteries and cat hotels do not require pet owners to bring their cat's food, but doing so can help your pet feel more at ease and prevent the gastrointestinal distress, such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, that is common in domestic animals that are fed something other than their usual diet.

If you plan on bringing your cat to a boarding facility or cattery, it's best to bring its usual food in its regular sized meals and divide them up into separate sandwich bags to avoid any stomach distress from eating anything new.

You should pack enough food for a few extra days in case you end up being gone for longer than intended.

Mark all of the lunch bags with the cat's name (as well as tag number).

If your cat needs medication, be sure to bring it along with detailed instructions on how and when to give it.

Make sure you label everything (with the cat's entire name) with an iron-on label or possibly an irreversible marker.

As part of the procedure, cats often pack their favorite toys and treats.

Pet owners should always have Cat Boarding emergency information on hand, including a number for their hotel and a second stop along the route. You should also think about providing the name and contact information of a reliable relative or friend who can make decisions on the pet owner's behalf in the event of an emergency at www.willowcathotel.com.
