I’m not sure I can give a more glowing review than my dog’s reaction the second day, given his experience the first day with his separation anxiety. Clearly, he felt more confident the second day, knowing that I’d be coming back for him. Imagine my surprise when he wiggled all over with delight when he met the Best Friends Pet Care staff that morning! Good to know that the dog was comfortable with the people and facilities and had just suffered an extreme bout of separation anxiety because I’d left him. I wanted to help ease Louie’s anxiety as much as possible. I should have done this the first day, but figured it’s better to be prepared a day late than not at all. The next day, I took a shirt I’d worn the previous day (and hadn’t washed) for him to sleep with. His loyalty is greater than that of any dog I have ever had, but I was afraid that I had damaged that with a single day at a boarding facility. The worst part was that I’d have to take him back the next day. He stresses when he’s separated from me, even inside our own home. For the first time ever, he didn’t jump all over me and give me kisses, but instead tried running past me to just get out of the kennel and back to the safety of the car. However, when I picked up him up at the end of our first day, Louie was clearly traumatized.
I trusted the staff, who were very friendly and helpful, so I knew Louie would be in good care. Louie was shaking from fear while being checked for fleas, and I know he suspected that I was about to leave him with strangers while I was off for a day of fun. I didn’t want to bring home a souvenir of this type and can appreciate that the kennel is trying to minimize sharing. Louie was flea free because I had applied flea protection before heading to Florida. If fleas are detected, flea medication is administered before a dog can stay. Upon arrival at Best Friends, staff checked Louie for fleas. Louie at Best Friends Pet Care in Orlando. We chose to board at Best Friends Pet Care, the boarding facility most used by Disneygoers and the only one located on Disney property. I’d never boarded a dog before, so I was a little nervous about that and also about Louie’s strong separation anxiety. This meant Louie would need to be boarded while we were at the park. He travels with me to pet expos around the country, and recently our family had a chance to combine business with a stop at Walt Disney World. Not only is Louie a beloved family member, but he also works as spokesdog for my bow-tie business, The French Bulldog.
