Coming home every day from work to be greeted by your dog is something that may never get old. But, when you start to have a rather busy schedule and do not have much free time, taking them to a boarding facility on your way to work may become standard routine. On the weekend, you will have more free time, but to enjoy this time to the fullest, it can help to take care of your dog's needs in various ways. It is worth going to a dog boarding place that provides additional services along with watching your dog.
Nail Trimming
If your dog does not get to do too much walking around on the sidewalk or asphalt because they roam around the boarding facility on most days, this can prevent their nails from wearing down naturally. You may not be familiar with trimming their nails, so it may be a service that you usually get done elsewhere. Being able to get this service taken care of while you are at work is an ideal situation. This will be one less thing that you need to worry about with your dog while you are spending time at home with them.
Dog Wash
While your dog will clean themselves throughout the day, they will still need regular baths. This is especially true if they are spending a lot of time at boarding facilities with other dogs. It is normal for dirt to get kicked up and saliva to slosh around and get on their fur while they are playing around. An excellent addition to a boarding place is a sprinkler that allows them to rinse off with water while they are outside. However, you will also like when dog washing service is offered and provided before you pick them up.
Haircuts
Some dogs have fur that does not grow that much, but this may not be the case for your dog. Also, if you live in a place with a large difference in temperature between seasons, getting their hair cut may be a necessity to prevent them from getting too cold or overheated depending on the time of year. This service would normally take several hours by taking them to an appointment and waiting for them to finish. But, you can pay for a haircut and when you get off work, pick them up with a brand-new look.
Getting these services handled during dog boarding like Barrington Oaks North Animal Clinic is a great way to alleviate your busy schedule.

Our pets are like our children — they need to be cared for when we are away. After being a stay at home mom for many years, I had to make some serious adjustments when I reentered the workforce. My children are all grown, but my dog just can't be home by himself. I had to find a day care for him to go to when I went to work. I was conflicted — how do I choose the day care that will provide him with the love, care and attention that he is used to? This blog will provide you with the same tips that I was given that helped me choose.
