The Plan The following steps should be the very least criteria you use to gauge when locating a prospective kennel for your mastiff. Don't forget your rights start with your choice. Even though you aren't buying the kennel you should treat the decision as if you were. 1) Build A List Of Prospective Kennels. Create a list of phone numbers, addresses and business names of potential kennels. Add a column for "Allows Tours" and "Kennel Condition" to each line of data. Call each kennel on your list and ask them if they will allow you to tour their facility. If they say no then immediately remove them from further consideration. 2) Cleanliness Should Be Objectively Determined. A scale of one to ten should be used. With one being the best and ten being the worst. You should look at the following: - What is the Staff's Training Regarding Cleaning. If it's not performed at least daily then add 4 to the cleanliness score. - Staff's Cleaning Training Schedule. Find out how often the kennel performs cleaning. If not at least once a day then add 4 to the cleanliness score - Does the staff immediately clean up when a dog has a bowel movement? If not add 2 to the cleanliness score A clean environment is a great way to keep your mastiff's health in great shape. Using the guidelines offered will allow you determine a score for cleanliness. Get rid of all but the lowest scores. 3) Determine Kennel's Feeding Schedule. The main concern here is to find out if they will accommodate special request. Part of this would be to determine if you can bring your mastiffs own food to the kennel to avoid upsetting their stomach. 4) Find Out What Medical Care Is Provided. Ask them what the medical options are if any. This would also be an ideal time to have any scheduled check-ups or shots performed if the kennel provides the right medical care. If the Kennel is not associated with a vet's office then they should at the least have a vet on call. The staff should also have rudimentary medical training. Conclusion Eliminating the kennels with cleanliness issues will still leave you with a choice to make. Your choice should be based on price and services. If you utilize all the information you have gathered then you can ensure that you have made the best choice for finding the right mastiff kennels. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
