Quick reflexes

Six rules in 30 seconds.

  • Read the label first

    Named meat at the top of the ingredient list, no vague "by-products".

  • Keep socialization positive

    Between 3 and 14 weeks, expose the puppy to varied calm experiences.

  • Test the pavement

    Hand on tar for 7 seconds. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for paws.

  • Weigh the kibble

    To the gram, target weight not current weight, treats included.

  • Visit before booking

    A serious boarding facility welcomes a preliminary visit, no exceptions.

  • Crate or harness in the car

    Mandatory in France, and life-saving in case of an accident.
