Comment on Choosing a Kennel or Cattery by TheRalphSite.
Hi John,
I think it depends on the individual animal but especially on the species in question. For most dogs I would think visiting beforehand makes sense and it would probably be an inquisitive and fun experience for them to visit, meet new people, have some positive reinforcement at the kennel before they come to stay. However for the majority of cats and rabbits, not all but most, I suspect this visit in advance would just be another potentially very stressful experience for them and the cons would outweigh the benefits.
Just one person’s opinion though.
Regards,
Shailen

Dealing with flashbacks after the death of your pet
Sorry to hear this, Maddie. I hope that Betsy continues to recover. Hopefully, when you have her back home, time will do its magic and you will start to have fewer flashbacks or guilt about what happened. It is very difficult to keep them safe 100% of the time while allowing them to enjoy life too. I believe that Betsy knows how much you love her and will not have any bad feelings towards you. Thinking of your family at this time.
