Guide To Find Best Boarding Kennels For Your Dogs And Pets

If you are planning on taking a trip out of town and require the service of a boarding kennel, you’ve come to the right place! Here is a simple guide that will allow you to choose the best boarding kennel for your beloved dog. A happy stay for your pet gives you peace of mind and means your dog will be well looked after. So what do all good boarding kennels have in common?

Great and clean facilities

All dog kennels should be adequately equipped with large areas for outdoor or indoor exercise. Outside areas need to have shaded spots for your dog to rest under. If the doggy hotel is small, they should offer outdoor walks services. A well-exercised pet is a healthy one. Air conditioning and heating appliances should be running smoothly. Ask for a guided or solo tour of the facilities to inspect the physical layout while also focusing on the cleanliness.

Places with animals should be considerably clean and produce a minimal of odors. Look to see if toys, carpeting, play areas, and the current guests look happy and clean. Check for dog beds or ask to see the sleeping quarters since every dog should have an available place to rest that is comfortable and private.

Constant interaction and supervision

Talk with the staff to find information on ways they interact with the dogs that stay. Do they offer daily walks and playtime? How is individual attention achieved if guests outnumber staff? How are do they group dogs together for communal playtimes? Do not be afraid to ask all the questions necessary for you to feel reassured about your selection. Good staff will happily answer all your questions and provide you with tours.

Medical care and other services 

Before deciding on a kennel, you should always ask about required vaccinations for dog guests. The vaccination against kennel cough for example ought to be obligatory. Having said that, you need to make sure your pet is up-to-date with his vaccinations as well.

Another mandatory question to ask is how medical emergency situations are handled. Maybe they have their own veterinarian on site or on call. Remember also to inquire about the facility’s insurance. If they do not have any insurance available, you will have to sign a waiver form that states you agree to cover all medical care costs that may incur.

If your dog requires certain medication at specific times, ask if this service is provided for in the price or if it means an extra charge. Some boarding dog kennels even offer training and grooming services. The length of your trip should help you decide if these extra services are needed or not.

Background checks

Lastly, look into online reviews that past customers may have posted. The Better Business Bureau can also offer insight into any complaints against the kennel have been filed. You can also check to see if they pass all city or state health inspections.

With the above information you can make an informed choice on a local dog kennel that won’t leave you with lingering doubts or worries. Choosing a good boarding kennel will permit you to fully enjoy your vacation with the peace of mind that your dog is having a little vacation of his own.

Install Roof Lanterns And Skylights To Rock Your Party Room

Install Roof Lanterns And Skylights To Rock Your Party Room

Having that extra bit of space in your home is a glorious thing when you get the chance to do it. For many people an extension is used in a number of ways. Some people use an extension to move the kitchen to the exterior of the property and free up space. Other people see an extension as and extension to their garden, filling it with plants, flowers and other greenery, whilst some extensions are used for dining areas, relaxation spaces, games rooms and offices. The choices are endless really.

One way that a home extension can really be used to good effect is when you need space for a party, and even more so when you add a roof lantern to really expand the space you’re working with!

So if you are ever looking to use an extension for a party space in your home, whether that’s for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or a birthday bash, why should you look to install a roof lantern to your flat roof to take the party to the next level?

Bring Loads of Light to a Daytime Party – If you are throwing a party for your children the chances are that it’s going to be during the day at a weekend. Now, you might want to use your back garden (if you have the space), but what if the weather’s poor? Or what if you want a separate space to open present, play some games or serve food? A roof lantern can bring in plenty of natural light to your home extension. It’ll be an instantly inviting place for your guests and children to have plenty of fun and laughs in.

Stargaze at Night at an After Party – Sometimes you’ll have thrown a big party, or be coming home with a few close friends after a big night out, and just need somewhere nice and relaxing to sit and unwind with a few more drinks and some music. A roof lantern offers you the chance to watch the night go by, and on a clear night you can even watch some stars in the night sky too. It changes the end of your night from sitting on the sofa with a few cans and a takeaway pizza, to something a little more sophisticated!

Noise Efficiency that Works Both Ways – Your roof lantern will be glazed in a way that helps with sound efficiency, much like double-glazed windows. If you are throwing a party this can offer great peace of mind. The first thing is that you won’t have to worry (quite as much) about disturbing your neighbors with the noise, but you’ll also know that the noise from outside won’t intrude on your own festivities.

As you can see, adding a roof lantern to a flat roof extension can turn a drab and dreary extra room in your home, into a party space like no other. Bring in loads of extra natural daylight for a kids party, have a great space to unwind and watch the stars and night sky roll past after a big party at night, and always play hard without worrying about sound from the outside interfering with your party, and vice versa. A roof lantern offers an elegant and sophisticated touch to any home decor and for a party atmosphere it really helps to create a warm and welcoming environment, no matter the type of party you are throwing.
