Heading away and leaving your dog with a boarder for the first time? It's completely normal to feel a bit nervous – most owners do! Here's everything you need to know to make drop-off day smooth for both you and your pup.
Bring their own food. Sudden diet changes can upset a dog's stomach, so stick to what they know. Pre-measure each meal into labelled plastic bags so there's no guesswork.
Medicine and supplements. If your dog takes anything regularly, bring exactly the number of doses needed for the length of their stay, clearly labelled with times and amounts.
Something that smells like home. A worn t-shirt, a favourite blanket, or a well-loved toy helps dogs settle faster in a new environment.
Paperwork. Vaccination records and any relevant forms should be ready to hand over on the day, so check in advance what's needed.
Boarding here isn't a kennel – it's a home. Dogs get a large garden to play in, two tracked walks a day for those who are up to it, and regular photo and video updates sent straight to your phone.
Will my dog get lonely? Not at House of Fluff – it's a small, home-based setup, so every dog gets proper one-to-one attention.
What if my dog needs medication? No problem – just bring clear instructions and pre-measured doses.
Can I get updates during the stay? Yes – photo and video updates are part of the standard service.
Whether it's an overnight stay or a full week's holiday cover, House of Fluff offers boarding for dogs across Peterborough and the surrounding villages. Get in touch to check availability.
