1. Dogs should be wearing a collar with ID tags.
2. Food, treats and any supplements. Give specific instructions on amounts and when to feed. Some kennels provide food, but this may upset your pet's stomach.
3. Medication - if your pet is on any medicine, pack enough for the duration of the stay plus a few extra days. Bring written dosage instructions for the kennel.
4. Favorite play toys and chew toys.
5. Bed or blanket - this helps your pet feel more at home.
6. Anything else that might make your dog or cat feel safe, such as an old t-shirt.
7. Proof of vaccination.
