Why Booking Dog Boarding Early Is So Important

With Labor Day right around the corner, we’re gearing up for one of the busiest times of the year at Hounds Town. The end of summer brings travel, events, and getaways, which means that dogs need a place to stay, too. Whether you’re debating dog boarding vs. dog sitting or you just need a reminder, here’s why reserving Labor Day boarding early is the best way to avoid last-minute stress around the holiday weekend.

WhyBoarding Fills Up Quickly for Labor Day

Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year, which means it’s also one of the busiest weekends for dog boarding. With the end of summer coming up and families looking to get one last trip in, doggy daycare and boarding facilities tend to fill up fast.

. During popular travel times, there can be limited luxury suites and townhomes still available. Booking in advance is the best way to avoid the stress of finding a last-minute solution or settling for an option you may not want.

The Benefits of Booking Dog Boarding Early

Aside from getting your dog’s spot locked in over Labor Day weekend, here are a few reasons to book dog boarding with Hounds Town.

  • Opportunities for add-ons: Booking early means you’ll have the chance to upgrade your pup to a luxury suite or add on pet spa services before they sell out for the long weekend.
  • First-time advantages: If this is your dog’s first time boarding somewhere overnight, booking early allows you time to bring them in for daycare ahead of the weekend so they can get acclimated to the natural pack environment.
  • Guaranteed social time: Choosing to book dog sitting means your dog may not have the chance to socialize with other dogs while you’re away. When you book dog boarding instead, they can experience all-day daycare to keep them active, included at no extra cost!
  • Peace of Mind: Traveling can be stressful enough with all of the planning and anxieties. By scheduling your dog’s boarding stay early, you can rest assured that they have a reserved spot with the best care possible from our dog management experts.

What to Expect From Labor Day Boarding at Hounds Town

Labor Day dog boarding at Hounds Town looks a little different from other facilities, because here, dogs get to play all day in a carefully curated play group for no additional fee!. Once they’re placed in their specialized play group, your pup will get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, and form strong bonds with their pack while you’re out of town. You’ll come home to a dog with a Hounds Town hangover!

All Townies are able to stay in a luxury suite or townhome for the night once they’re worn out from their all-day play. We’ll serve them breakfast and dinner in their private space—we have backup kibble on hand, but we recommend packing your pup with their own regular kibble to prevent any upset stomachs. And if your dog needs a little extra pampering (or just a good bath before they come home) after boarding, we offer spa services at all of our locations.

Make This Labor Day Fun for the Whole Pack

Booking dog boarding early at Hounds Town is less stressful for you and more fun for your dog—you get to enjoy your Labor Day weekend in peace, and they get to run with the pack.
