Here, little pup, you would lounge, play, and groove to mild rhythms. It’s a peaceful place with nice people and those who care.

How stressful is boarding a dog?
Boarding a dog can be stressful, especially for pets with separation anxiety or those unaccustomed to new environments. The unfamiliar sights, sounds, and routines of a boarding facility may cause anxiety or discomfort. However, choosing a high-quality dog lodge with personalized care, quiet spaces, and experienced staff can greatly reduce stress. Bringing familiar items and doing a short trial stay beforehand can also help your dog feel more at ease during their time away from home.
FAQs
What happens if a dog misses a meal?
With the exception of the occasional missed meal, a dog that’s healthy and active and happy is generally nothing to worry about. Dogs can skip food for things like minor stress, excitement or a change in routine (such as during travel or boarding). But if it misses more than one meal, exhibits any signs of lethargy, or is vomiting, or has diarrhea or is a puppy, senior or has an underlying health issue, You should contact your veterinarian to ensure there are no underlying health concerns.
Why is my dog shaking?
There are also a number of reasons on the harmless to serious spectrum that your pup may be shaking, from staying warm to needing pet insurance. Common triggers include excitement, anxiety, cold, or stress. But shaking can also indicate pain, nausea, poisoning or medical conditions, such as seizures or neurological problems. If the shaking is sudden, acute or coming with other symptoms (i.e.; vomiting, limping and confusion), it’s best to get in touch with your veterinarian as soon as possible to rule out the cause.
