Safe at Home or a Cage in a Kennel…Which Would You Choose?

Okay, let’s think about this scenario. You’re preparing to go on vacation, all the arrangements are made, the bags are packed, the tickets are purchased, you’re standing at the door key in hand, and you just know there’s one thing you forgot to do. Oh, that’s right…the dog (or cat). Well, that’s all taken care of (you think smugly). You put your four-legged friend in a kennel for the duration.

A kennel? Let’s think about that for a second, shall we? You took your beloved family pet, a creature you’ve raised since infancy, played with and pampered, a small (or large) furry bundle of love who has never asked you for anything except maybe an occasional scratch behind the ear, and put it in a kennel. Not that the concept of a kennel is a bad thing. No, conceptually they provide an easy solution for when you must leave your pet alone. But what about the reality of that solution? Most likely your pet thinks, acts, and feels like a member of the family, including loving you like you love him (or her). Just like a member of the family your pet is used to being surrounded by his own things, the smells and sights he is familiar with. He is used to affection and a calm, controlled, familiar environment. Now you’ve put him in a kennel; an environment as alien as the moon, filled with a cacophony of strange barking dogs, hissing cats, and unfamiliar humans. Most likely he will be placed in a cage that will seem like a matchbox compared to the freedom of his own home. He will also probably be required to receive a shot for kennel cough due to the high probability he might catch it. Now, I’m not saying that there are not kennels out there run by qualified professionals who really care about the animals they board. I’m sure there are. However, I doubt that there is anyone who will deny the fact that the animal in question will in no way receive the individualized one-on-one love and affection they would at home or be as comfortable and happy as they would be in their own home. That’s where Castle Sitters, inc. comes in.
