Let's talk about my friend, Monster. 💙🐾
Monster has boarded with us before and did wonderfully. This visit, however, we noticed right away that something was different. He was missing his mom, didn't have his usual appetite, and seemed a little withdrawn. Because we truly know our dogs, we recognized these changes immediately and stayed in close contact with his mom to come up with a plan together.
His mom sent along some tasty food toppers and a few favorite toys to help encourage him, and what a difference they made! Then we discovered something else... Monster LOVES water! 💦 We brought out the pools, and it was like watching a whole new dog. His confidence grew, his tail started wagging, he became playful, and before long, he was even making new dog friends!
We couldn't be more proud of Monster and the progress he made during his stay.
This is exactly what boutique care is all about. We don't believe dogs are "just another boarding dog." We pay attention to their individual personalities, routines, and emotions. If something isn't working, we adjust. We communicate with families, think outside the box, and do everything we can to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
At Basil's Boutique, your dog isn't just a number—they're family. And we care for them the same way we would our own. ❤️
