If your schedule is
If your schedule is less than routine, your older dog could become stressed and confused.
Likewise, your travel can upset your senior canine. Putting an older dog in a kennel is stressful because it is not their routine. Leaving at a family members home will work but ask the caregiver how well the dog really adjust to your absence and their new surroundings. We did and found that our dog did not eat at all during the weekend we were gone. Bringing a favorite blanket or toy when boarding might have worked well in the past but it does little to relieve the stress of your older friend. It may be time to consider all the benefits that a professional pet sitter with at home care can provide you and your dog.
