Features of a Great Dog Boarding Facility, Part 2

For dog owners looking for the finest dog boarding in Youngstown and the surrounding area, we recently posted several points from the Humane Society of the United States* about the characteristics every outstanding facility should have. We want to continue with those points in this article.

• Is your dog provided with bedding or a resting area off the concrete floor? Dogs enjoy comfortable bedding, and we encourage our friends to bring their dog's bedding from home so their pet feels relaxed and at ease while in our care. We also have freshly laundered blankets and bedding that we provide to keep your dog warm and cozy.

• How often are pets fed? How about this: It's your call. We encourage you to provide your pet's standard diet to avoid digestive upset, and we will feed them according to your instructions. And if you provide their favorite treats, we'll feed them those after potty times, play times or at other intervals throughout the day.

• Are other services available, such as grooming, training and bathing? At HPR we're known for being the home of the premier services for dog grooming in Youngstown and the entire Mahoning Valley-Shenango Valley region. That includes bathing and an entire list of dog grooming services available on our website. We can also refer you to a number of qualified trainers should you need their services.

At Hubbard Pet Resort & Spa, we treat your dog like our own and promise you peace-of-mind care. Think of us as your dog's "home away from home." Call us at (330) 534-1200 if we can be of service to you.

The entire list of recommendations from the Humane Society of the United States is included on their website.
