If you’re planning a vacation or a trip but can’t bring your furry friend along, you’ve likely considered pet boarding on the Gold Coast.
The truth is, pet boarding could pose a negative effect on your pooch due to separation anxiety or a change of environment. That is why you need a doggy daycare that provides all the necessary facilities and care that your canine needs to enjoy themselves.
This article will highlight some benefits of dog boarding, including tips to help you make informed decisions when choosing a pet boarding facility for your dog.
Let’s get started.
Benefits of pet boarding on the Gold Coast
Pet boarding is beneficial not only to owners but to their dogs as well. Here are four benefits of using pet boarding next time you’re away.
1. Your pooch will enjoy expert care. All medication will be administered and any special requirements will be adhered to.
2. Boarding gives your dog time for socialization
3. It equips your dog with new experiences
4. Dog boarding houses keeps your pet safe and out of trouble
Downsides of pet boarding on the Gold Coast
While pet boarding pros definitely outweigh the cons, we would be doing you a disservice if we didn’t mention the potential negatives. Some downsides include:
1. Separation anxiety
2. Changes in your dog’s routine can cause irregularities in their behaviour
Make sure the pet boarding facility you choose has these features
Whether you’re going away for a week or a weekend, ensure that the pet boarding facility you choose has the best inclusions for your puppy.
For example:
-
- Secure and safe environment: While you’re away, it’s crucial that your puppy is kept safe and sound, ready to return to you. Make sure that the facility you choose has secure rooms and cameras to monitor your pet.
-
- Large play areas: Dogs and puppies are always full of energy. By giving them large play areas they can work off all their energy instead of getting anxious.
-
- Cuddles and kisses: It’s likely that your furry friend receives millions of kisses and cuddles at home. So why should it be any different at a pet boarding facility?

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Twin Share and Private during pet boarding?
Each of our five room options can be booked as either a Twin Share or a Private, so it’s still the same room, the option just depends on if your dog would like to have the room to them self or if they’d prefer to share that room with a friend. With dogs who do not live together at home, we will only board two dogs together at any one time, except under special circumstances, in which case you would be notified about the situation prior to boarding.
How do you match the dogs for Twin Share?
If you have a dog who thoroughly enjoys the company of another dog, the Twin Share option may be suitable. We match dogs in the Twin Share option according to size and temperament, so if you have a small, calm dog, your dog would be matched with another dog who is small, who would like to integrate but not be too over the top during play. If you have a large, playful dog, your dog would be matched to someone who wouldn’t mind playing the day away with your dog. There are endless combinations of pet traits.
Is there always a dog match available at your pet resort?
There are instances where you may book your dog into a Twin Share room, but we may not have a dog boarding with us during that time who is suitable to share the room with your dog (Eg. Dogs got alone but one was much more playful than the other). If this occurs, we will be in touch with you to let you know that we weren’t able to find a match. When dogs are matched up, sometimes the dates that their booking goes for does not align. Your dog may be here for seven days, and their initial match may only be here for the first three days. The introduction process begins again once their first match has left.
What is the introduction process for the dog boarding?
We are very particular about which dogs share with one another, and our introduction process can take up to 3 or 4 hours. It’s most certainly not something we take lightly as we must ensure that both guests will feel comfortable being with one another during their stay. If there are any signs of anti-social behaviour from either dog, the introduction progress is ceased immediately.
If your dog has never boarded with us before, it’s highly recommended to book them a Private room so that you know the room is readily available for them to have them self should they require it. It’s very easy for us to change to a Twin Share, but due to availability, it’s not always easy for us to do it the other way around. Please get in touch with us if you’re unsure about which option is best for your dog.
Why are vaccinations important in Boarding Kennels or Pet Resorts on the Gold Coast?
If you’re looking for cat or dog boarding on the Gold Coast, your pet will be required to have current vaccination records. A good dog hotel on the Gold Coast will always protect all its canine and feline guests by making sure they are all up-to-date on their shots and healthy. Puppies and kittens require three initial vaccinations when they’re very young and then annual booster vaccinations and check-ups for life. Our requirements are C5 in dogs, and F3 in cats, and these vaccinations need to be conducted within the last 12 months, but not within 10 days of the arrival date to our resort. Be sure to ask your vet if you have any questions about your pet’s full protection and contact our friendly team to find out more about the vaccination requirements.
