At one time or another during ownership of your Pit Bull, you will probably have need of a boarding kennel. Unfortunately, your Pit Bull may not be welcome everywhere you go, so you either have to find someone else to care for him while you are away, or stay home, which is not always an option. It is important that you find a kennel that will care for your Pit Bull and ensure his safety while you are away.

You should do some research on boarding kennels in your area, and compile a list of all of the ones you might be interested in. The list should include their addresses and phone numbers to make it easier for you when it comes time to check them out. You should start calling down your list. The following will help you with what information you should learn about the kennel before you place your Pit Bull there.

Of course, the number one question you should ask on the phone interview is if they board Pit Bulls. Not all kennels are equipped to board all types of dogs, so it is an important question to ask. You also should ensure that the kennel is staffed twenty four seven, so that if there is an emergency, someone will be there to handle it.

The kennel building should be equipped with some type of fire alarm system, either a monitored security system that will automatically signal the fire department, or at the very least have fire and smoke detectors installed. You should also ask if they will contact you in case any emergency situation arises, as you want to be informed of any potential danger or problems with your Pit Bull as soon as possible.

The kennel should also have an on call veterinarian available to treat the dogs in the case of a medical emergency. You may want to get that veterinarian
