Caring for Your Dog’s Mental Health During Their Stay at Borders Boarding
Introduction
As a devoted pet owner, leaving your furry friend behind during vacations can be emotionally challenging. You want to ensure their well-being and happiness while you’re away. At Borders Boarding, we understand these concerns, and we’re committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your beloved dog. In this blog post, we’ll explore the importance of your dog’s mental health during their stay at our facility and why Borders Boarding is the ideal choice.
Understanding Boarding Stress
When dogs stay at a boarding, their routine is disrupted. Even minor changes can lead to stress and anxiety. As responsible caretakers, we recognise the signs of canine stress:
Becoming More Vocal: Dogs may bark, cry, or howl due to separation anxiety.
Displaying Aggression: Stress can cause dogs to act defensively or aggressively.
Escaping or Hiding: Some dogs may try to escape or hide in unfamiliar surroundings.
Losing Appetite: A change in environment can affect their eating habits.
Panting and Lip-Smacking: These behaviors indicate discomfort.
Shedding: Excessive shedding can be a sign of stress.
