Taking a vacation? Going away?
When you travel, finding the right place to leave your canine family member can cause much anxiety and be very stressful. I personally know that feeling very well, because I have experienced those same feelings. The name dog kennel, or dog boarding, even dog camp, conjured up images in my mind like... my dog’s days are going to be mostly spent in cold small cement chain link runs, with gray brick walls, loud barking and whining with lots of echo, and scared faces. Seeing the expression on my dog’s faces when I would leave them saying “why are you leaving without me, are you coming back”? Broke my heart, made me want to cancel my vacation and holiday plans!
Why does having to find a good place for my dogs to stay, have to cause me so much grief, anxiety and sleepless nights! Thinking about this leading up to the time we were leaving, was very draining and honestly? It didn’t make the so called “fun get a way” fun!! Then when on vacation, I had a hard time relaxing, I’d worry about them, my husband, family and or friends tiring of me saying “I wonder how they’re doing”. So, we just didn’t go away without them very often.
Until.. I finally found (through a friend’s referral) my dog’s happy place when away from home, I was so excited!! The atmosphere was like nothing I had ever seen before. Never did I worry again! And when I went to go pick them up? I could so tell the difference, because they were so happy and not stressed. In fact they would have been happy to see me and stay longer! I was so relieved!! Unfortunately, there are so very few of these really great places.
That is why Silverdale Doggy Vacation Lodge was born,
We want to be your dog’s Happy Place.
A place that can answer your questions such as...
Will they be happy, safe, and properly taken care of?
Will they help my dog through separation anxiety?
Will their facilities be clean and secure?
Will they get to spend lots of time running and playing?
Will they always be in supervised care 24/7?
Will they give me updates on how things are going while I’m away?
Will they give my dog a health check daily making sure all is well?
Will it feel like home? And above all,
Will they get affection and be loved while we’re away.
To all these questions we can answer a huge confident Yes! We are a vacation Lodge for dogs, a Tranquil Get Away for the day, a week, or even a month or more.
