Every dog has different preferences, activity levels and individual care requirements. The Dog Stop focuses on dog boarding, canine daycare and overnight pet care services. What to Consider When Choosing Dog Boarding When comparing dog boarding facilities, owners should review cleanliness, staff qualifications and daily care procedures. Boarding accommodations should account for each dog's size, temperament and comfort needs.

Dogs with special dietary or medication needs may require additional planning with the boarding provider. A trial daycare visit or short stay may help owners understand how their dogs respond to the boarding environment.

Responsible facilities should consider temperament and compatibility when arranging social activities.
