There may come a time when you need to be away from your pet for a few days or an extended period. One of the biggest challenges you may encounter when planning a trip away from home is finding a suitable alternative for your furry friend. Saddling friends and family with the responsibility of looking after your pet may not be your best solution. A pet boarding on the Gold Coast is!
Imagine a safe, comfortable, and happy space for your pet while you’re away. However, in choosing a pet boarding service, several factors should be considered. This article will highlight the top pointers when searching for a pet boarding on the Gold Coast.
1. Health Requirement
It’s one thing to know your pet’s health is in top form, and all required vaccinations have been taken. However, you can’t be too sure if other pets in the pet boarding are free of disease and infections.
Choosing a pet boarding on the Gold Coast with a standard health requirement for all pets is a safety measure to ensure your furry baby stays disease-free. Make sure routine vaccinations are required prior to the admission of pets into the pet boarding facility you choose. Don’t forget to also ask the facility about the precautions taken for other pets when they have a sick pet in their custody.
2. Find out if a Veterinarian is on Call
A reputable pet boarding service on the Gold Coast should always maintain a good work relationship with a local veterinarian and have one on call at all times. Like humans, your pet can fall sick at any time. However, knowing your pet will be professionally treated for any illnesses will keep any pet owner’s mind at rest.
3. Inspect the Facility
You don’t want to drop off your adorable pet at a boarding facility you haven’t checked out before. So, before choosing pet boarding on the Gold Coast, a visit to the facility will do you and your fur baby some good. Find one that has a high standard of hygiene.
You should also observe how the staff treat the other pets. While at the premises, interview the staff at the facility and ensure your questions are answered. Your interactions with the staff will give you a perception of how the team will relate to your pet.
Again, talking with the staff opens a line of communication that can be beneficial when you are away. You will have little to worry about when you can periodically check on your pet.
4. Special Services
A treat or two never does any harm. Any loving pet owner will be thrilled at the thought of their pet getting pampered while they are away. Find out what special services are offered before choosing a pet boarding on the Gold Coast.
We can keep your mind at peace while you are away from your pet. So visit our website today and be rest assured your pet will be in safe hands.

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.
