Pets parents in Dubai have a number of options for kennel services for the times they need to leave their pet behind. Whether you are travelling for work or a holiday, these kennel services in Dubai are perfect for your cat or dog.

While choosing a boarding service for your pampered pooch, remember to visit the facility and check whether it is clean and well-maintained. Talk to the staff and make a note of how they deal with pets; always choose a facility where the employees are friendly and humane. Check if there are outdoor and indoor spaces to play for your dog and make sure that the facility is not overcrowded.

It might be difficult to leave your pet behind, but choosing the right boarding facility makes all the difference.
