Elissa Eubanks, eeubanks@ajc.com Puppi stands at the top of a slide in the play cube at Bark ATL, a cage-free environment where you can keep your canines during the day or board them for the holidays.
Sometimes, it’s not possible to bring your pets with you. For those times, the AJC’s Katie Leslie has the rundown on local doggy day-care and boarding facilities “that cater to your pooch’s every desire.”
She also gives some tips from experts about choosing the best overnight facility:
● Try out the doggy day care first and make sure you are comfortable with the play group.
● Visit sites like Kudzu and Yelp to see reviews.
● Do a tour. Ask about the hours of play and hours of rest.
● Ask the facility whether someone lives on-site or is available overnight.
● Inquire how the staff would handle emergencies and if they monitor the dogs for overnight problems.
● Ask friends for referrals.
