Boarding a Small Dog: What Chihuahua, Poodle and Corgi Owners Should Know

Small and large dogs must be kept apart

Large dogs play rough. Even without meaning any harm, they can knock over or scare a small dog. When choosing a dog hotel, make sure small and large dogs are kept in separate areas and go out to play separately.

Key care points for boarding small dogs

• Regular meals: Small dogs (especially puppies) shouldn’t go long without food. Bring their usual food and let us know how many meals they have a day.
• Personality matching: Timid or slow-to-warm-up small dogs do best in smaller, quieter groups.
• Familiar smells: Bring a small blanket from home to help your dog relax.
• Health conditions: Let us know in advance about common small-dog issues such as knee or trachea problems.

At Mini Boarding House

We group dogs by size, personality and energy level, and small and large dogs go out to play separately. Timid and slow-to-warm-up dogs are placed in smaller groups in a quieter setting, guided by our staff. Every dog is fed one-on-one and separately, so we can keep an eye on how much they eat. Small dog boarding is NT$730 per night for 0–5kg and NT$830 for 6–10kg. See pricing and packages & offers.
