Older dogs can board safely if their health is stable and the hotel adapts their care. Here’s what to prepare.
Key takeaways
- Check health, medication and diet before boarding; ask your vet if your dog has chronic conditions.
- Seniors need gentler activity, a quiet rest area and closer monitoring of eating and drinking.
- At Mini Boarding House, senior dogs are grouped in calmer areas and fed one by one.
Before boarding
- Recent vet check, especially for chronic conditions
- Enough medication with clear instructions
- Usual food to avoid stomach upsets
- Notes on mobility, eyesight, hearing and fears (slippery floors, stairs)
How care changes for seniors
- Lower-intensity activity — walks and sniffing
- Kept apart from boisterous young dogs
- Closer monitoring of drinking, appetite and toilet habits
- Longer rest periods
At Mini Boarding House
Calm, senior and shy dogs are placed in quieter areas. Every dog is fed separately so we can track appetite and medication, and we send LINE updates daily. A private room (small +NT$400, large +NT$600 per day) is available if your senior dog prefers their own space.
