What to pack for dog boarding and what to leave home
Pack so another person can follow the routine without calling about every detail. Each item needs a name, amount, and readable instructions.

The best boarding bag is not the largest one. It is the one that lets someone care for the dog without interpreting vague notes. Start with health records, familiar food, a secure leash, veterinary details, and two phone numbers that will be answered.
