Brisbane Dog Boarding Guide: How to Prepare Your Dog for a Stress-Free Holiday Stay

Going away on a trip? Here are some helpful dog boarding tips to make your dog’s stay smooth and stress-free. Whether you’ve booked with an experienced pet sitter in Brisbane or are exploring other options, good preparation makes all the difference.

1. Bring Something Familiar

Pack your dog’s favourite blanket, toy, or bed. Having familiar scents will help them feel safe and at home in a new environment.

2. Keep Vaccinations Up to Date

Make sure your dog’s vaccinations, flea and tick treatments are current. This keeps everyone healthy and safe.

3. Share Detailed Care Instructions

Let your pet sitter know about your dog’s feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs or routines. The more information, the better!

4. Don’t Make a Big Fuss at Drop-Off

Stay calm and positive when you say goodbye. Dogs pick up on our emotions, so a relaxed farewell helps them settle in faster.

5. Book Early During Busy Periods

Book Early During Busy Periods like Christmas, Easter and School Holidays. These are the busiest times of the year, and spots often fill up 4–6 weeks in advance. Booking early guarantees your dog’s spot and gives you peace of mind.
