Note in writing this article, reputable pet boarding kennels do exist. This article is only aimed at the dodgy ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice red flags and decide to ask questions, some kennels may respond with dodgy excuses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 10 common excuses kennels might use to justify their shortcomings and why you shouldn\u2019t accept them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-unwillingness-to-allow-tours\">1. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>Unwillingness to Allow Tours<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cWe don\u2019t allow tours to avoid disturbing the pets\u2019 routine.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> A responsible kennel should always be open to showing you their facilities. Refusal could mean they\u2019re hiding something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-overcrowded-or-unhygienic-facilities\">2. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>Overcrowded or Unhygienic Facilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re just really popular, and it\u2019s hard to keep up when business is booming.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> Overcrowding compromises your pet\u2019s safety and health. A responsible kennel should never sacrifice hygiene and space for profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-no-access-to-outdoor-play-areas\">3. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>No Access to Outdoor Play Areas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cNot all pets like the outdoors, so we focus on keeping them comfortable indoors.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> Regular outdoor time is crucial for a pet\u2019s physical and mental health. A lack of outdoor access indicates inadequate facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-lack-of-staff-presence-or-supervision\">4. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>Lack of Staff Presence or Supervision<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cOur staff are trained to check in on pets periodically rather than hovering over them.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> Pets require consistent supervision to prevent accidents or stress-related behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-no-emergency-plans-or-access-to-veterinary-care\">5. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>No Emergency Plans or Access to Veterinary Care<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019ve never had an emergency before, so we don\u2019t see the need for a formal plan.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> Emergencies are unpredictable. A lack of preparedness could jeopardize your pet\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-low-staff-to-pet-ratio\">6. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>Low Staff-to-Pet Ratio<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cOur staff are highly experienced, so they can handle more pets than average.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> No matter how experienced, one person can only give limited attention to each pet. A high ratio means less care and supervision for your furry friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-poor-reviews-or-lack-of-accreditation\">7. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>Poor Reviews or Lack of Accreditation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re a hidden gem that doesn\u2019t rely on reviews or fancy certifications.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> Reviews and accreditation provide transparency and accountability. Lack of either raises questions about the kennel\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-hidden-fees-or-unclear-pricing\">8. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>Hidden Fees or Unclear Pricing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cWe tailor our pricing based on the pet\u2019s needs, so it\u2019s hard to give an exact cost upfront.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> Transparency is key. Ambiguity in pricing can lead to unexpected charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-lack-of-proper-pet-monitoring-systems\">9. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>Lack of Proper Pet Monitoring Systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019ve been doing this for years and can tell if something is wrong without fancy gadgets.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> Modern monitoring systems provide an additional layer of safety and accountability, especially in emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-poorly-maintained-or-unsafe-enclosures\">10. \ud83d\udea9 <strong>Poorly Maintained or Unsafe Enclosures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dodgy Excuse:<\/strong> \u201cPets don\u2019t care about aesthetics as long as they\u2019re safe and comfortable.\u201d<br><strong>Why It\u2019s Dodgy:<\/strong> Maintenance isn\u2019t just about looks; it\u2019s about safety. Poorly maintained enclosures can lead to injuries or escapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ask-the-tough-questions\">Ask the Tough Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing a kennel, don\u2019t be afraid to dig deeper and question anything that doesn\u2019t sit right.
