Many people are starting to plot out their wintertime trips, and as such, they&#8217;re starting to call around to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/utica\/dog-boarding\/\">dog kennels<\/a> near them. It&#8217;s a huge priority for pet parents to make sure that their pups are taken care of while they&#8217;re away, and making the decision to pick one place over another is always hard. At Dogtopia, we understand pet parents and their pups are stressed during the decision making process, and as the holidays and vacations creep ever closer, we know that you&#8217;ll run into dog kennels filling up fast. Never fear &#8211; if you&#8217;re a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/utica\/dog-daycare\/\">dog daycare<\/a> client of ours, you can always call us to get your pup in for overnight and extended boarding! If you&#8217;re not a current dog daycare client, we urge you to take steps now to get your pup used to being away from home.\u00a0By doing so, you&#8217;ll make the event of boarding much less stressful.<\/p>\n<p>All pet parents want to know their pup is safe while away at dog boarding. If you&#8217;re a Dogtopia client, you can rest assured that we prioritize your dogs safety above all else. Our trained staff monitor their open play dog daycare time &amp; will accommodate your pup&#8217;s special needs. Additionally, all dogs allowed into our facility, daycare clients and dog kennel clients alike, pass a rigorous evaluation and vaccination check to ensure the safety of all doggy attendees. We know you&#8217;ll be impressed by how thorough and smart our safety protocol is, and we invite you to come to tour our facility to see it implemented first hand.<\/p>\n<p>Something average dog kennels gloss over is how they make your dog comfortable.

Even better, if you introduce your pup to us BEFORE going away for an extended trip, they&#8217;ll become familiar with our staff and our regular dog daycare clients and start considering us &#8216;family&#8217; too! This is by far the best way to ease your dog into the transition of staying overnight and for a long period away from home. We highly recommend you get your dog started with a few days of dog daycare at least a week before you need dog boarding.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1057\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1057\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/utica\/\/home\/dogtopia\/www\/releases\/57\/public\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2016\/09\/dog-boarding-services-utica-mi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1057\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/utica\/vacation-means-need-dog-kennel\/dog-boarding-services-utica-mi\/\" data-orig-file=\"\/utica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2016\/09\/dog-boarding-services-utica-mi.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"716,955\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"dog boarding services utica mi\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;One of our happy dog boarding dog kennel clients in Utica MI!&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"\/utica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2016\/09\/dog-boarding-services-utica-mi-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"\/utica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2016\/09\/dog-boarding-services-utica-mi.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/utica\/\/home\/dogtopia\/www\/releases\/57\/public\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2016\/09\/dog-boarding-services-utica-mi-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"dog boarding dog kennel services in utica mi\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of our happy dog boarding dog kennel clients in Utica MI!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Our dog kennel is unlike those old facilities you may have experienced in the past.
