Senior Dog Boarding Day Care

Senior Dog Boarding & Day Care

Any dog owner knows that leaving your best friend behind while you travel can be difficult — for both you and your dog. But when you’re trying to find the right place for an elderly dog, there are many additional factors to consider.

There are lots of potential challenges that can come with age: mobility problems, anxiety, loss of sight and hearing and other health problems. You’ll need to think carefully — and be realistic— about how your senior dog is doing when making plans for day care or boarding. At Yinz Dogs we only care for 5 senior dogs. We have 1 staff member who is specifically education on dealing with senior dogs. At Yinz Dogs  Your Senior Dog has her or his own play area - away from all the non senior doggi. Sleeping quarters for our senior dogs are detail orientated to your dogs specific needs.

Senior dogs might have medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or bone disease that require medicine. In addition, their immune systems are not as strong, so they can have a hard time fighting sickness and may take longer to heal. Your senior dog may also need special food that’s easier to digest and has anti-aging supplements.

When looking for the right fit, Yinz Dog's has the experience watching senior dogs that need a little extra care.

Pack a thorough kit with

• your dog’s preferred food
• medications
• directions for administering medication
• vet contact
• emergency contact information
• favorite toys
• dog bed
• t-shirt that smells like you, or other comforting items

Finally, be conscious of your own packing! Dogs are smart and some might know to associate your suitcase with an upcoming absence. Pack discreetly to avoid stressing out your dog.
