Los Angeles is one of the most pet-friendly cities in the US, and there are plenty of excellent pet boarding services in the city. From cage-free boarding facilities to luxury pet resorts, LA has it all.

While choosing a boarding facility for your pet, it is recommended that you visit the place before deciding. Ask for a trial run to ensure that your pet dog or cat is comfortable, and check if the facility is hygienic and maintained well. Dogs and cats must have enough walk and exercise time, and should be served premium pet food. Make sure that the facility has ample outdoor and indoor play and exercise areas for both cats and dogs.

Employees must be friendly and well-informed and be able to recognise and assist in a pet emergency. A boarding service that insists on mandatory vaccinations and parasitic treatments is preferable to minimise the risk of your pet catching disease at the kennel.

If your pet has separation anxieties, take time to choose the best boarding facility for him or her. Some pets prefer a home-like, open-plan experience, while others like to a more structured system with plenty of play time and socialisation: make a choice based on what your pet will find comfortable.
