Personally I will never board my dogs in a place run by vets agian. THis summer both Ajax and Luca were boarded at 2 seperate places for about 2 weeks each.

Do your research is all I can say. We board Luca at a wonderful place that had awsome rates and the guy who ran the facility really knew what he was doing. Luca usually would starve himself when he was left with anyone but this guy had a ton of tricks up his sleave to make sure that didn't happen and when we can back 2 weeks later Luca was happy to see us but it was clear that he had had a blast and loved being there. It was just a boarding place for Dogs, cats and horses. So that was all they focused on.

On the other hand we were in a bit of a hurry when looking for a place to board Ajax for a couple of weeks and thought because it was a vet place that also did boarding that it would be perfect. Not so. Ajax came back to us where you could count several of his ribs. He aso had rub sores from where he had laid down too long on hard surfaces. We were very angry at how he looked though he was still the very happy and fun loving pup he acted half starved though and his condition showed it.

So all I can say is do your research. The vet place was expensive but the place we sent Luca was very cheap and reasonable. So price is not a consideration to always go by or the fact that it is run by a vet. Keep your options open.
