				Ruff Decisions: Animal Housing Options While You’re Away
Instead of boarding at kennels, many travelers take their pets along for the ride, leave them with friends or family, or hire professional sitters. Each of these options comes with pros and cons.
Finding Best in Show Kennels
If you can’t take your furry best friend on vacation with you, you may have to book him or her into a kennel.
Prepping Your Pet for a Kennel Stay
For your pet’s stay to go well, it’s not enough to select a kennel carefully; you also have to prepare your pet properly and then care for it properly after its stay.
How to Find the Best Vet for Your Pet
You might not be able to evaluate all of a veterinarian’s technical skills and expertise. But you can judge many factors that are central to good medical care for your pet.
