Many pet owners simply won't go on holiday unless they have complete peace of mind for their dogs or other pets. Until relatively recently, unless pet owners had a very willing neighbour relative or friend who would take their dog in, there has not been an alternative to boarding kennels.
The British are renowned dog lovers with approximately 8 million canine companions in around 6 million households. That's a 'best' friend in almost 1 out of every 4 homes and with owners tending to their pets every need it makes any absences a stressful time. Home from Home pet care offers one to one care for pets in a home environment where exercise and feeding routines are maintained.
More and more pet owners are treating their pets as just another member of the family and applying human preferences to the choices they make for them, especially when it comes to feeding and care. People are also beginning to see their pets as a reflection of themselves and are investing heavily in grooming, accessories, exercise and beauty preferences. With home boarding the pets food is supplied by the owner so any diets can be maintained and there is no worry about upset stomachs caused by potential changes in food. Pets are never left alone for long periods so owners can go away with peace of mind knowing that the loved one they left behind will be well looked after until they return.
