Spring Barkers

A happy dog lays on his back in the grass

Things are heating up here in Michigan! Tis’ the season of a much-needed vacation because Spring Break is on the horizon. Although we may look forward to a break from responsibilities, school, and work, our pets may not. Our furry friends want to be a part of all of the fun, but sometimes it isn’t possible to take them with us on vacation.

At All American Pet Resorts Lakeshore, we know how hard it can be to leave your dog behind. We know that your pet is a member of your family, and like all family members, you want only the best for them.

Wouldn’t you like to relax and enjoy yourself to the fullest knowing that your pet is getting exceptional care and the attention he or she is accustomed to while you are away?

How to Choose a Great Boarding Facility

When considering boarding your dog while you are away on vacation, there are a few important questions you should ask of the facility before dropping off your pet. The reality is, some places might look good on the outside, but inside they are poorly maintained. Here are some points to consider when looking for a place to board your dog in the Detroit area.

1. What are the facilities' cleaning procedures and policies?

This is an important question to ask always, but especially right now. While it is critical that the facilities look and smell fresh, it’s also important that the chemicals used to clean the suites, kennels, crates, or runs are nontoxic and caustic to their paws.

2. How many people are on staff? Are the dogs checked after hours?

Dog Boarding facilities hours will vary, but ensuring that even after a typical 9-5 day someone is on staff overnight is important to consider. As every pet parent knows, dogs are not immune to having issues at night. So, making sure a trained staff member is there to tend to them if needed is important to consider for boarding your dog.

3. How safe and secure is the facility?

Where will your pet be housed? Is it fenced in? Caged? Is the facility locked? Do they have live-streaming cameras? These are all important questions to ask to ensure that your pet is in the right hands. Visit a company’s website and do a little research to get an idea of the security of the environment.


There is an abundance of questions to ask before boarding your dog. These are meant to help give you an idea of what types of questions you should consider when looking to board your dog.
