The earlier, the better—especially in Gateshead

Planning a summer getaway? Whether it’s a week in the sun or just a long weekend, one thing often gets left until the last minute: booking pet care.

At Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, I offer calm, home-based boarding and day care for a limited number of dogs. Here’s why booking early matters—and how to plan ahead for a stress-free summer.

1. Spots Fill Fast for Summer School Holidays

July and August are peak months for holidays, and dog boarding spaces fill quickly—often by early June.

Many of my regular clients book 6–8 weeks in advance to guarantee their dog’s place.

2. Trial Visits Take Time

If your dog is new to boarding or day care, a trial visit is ideal—but it needs to happen before your travel dates. Booking early gives time to:

Visit Adjust Build trust Ensure your dog settles in comfortably

3. Travel Plans Can Shift—But Care Needs Stay Firm

Even if your trip is flexible, pet care is best arranged early. You can always adjust details, but availability is limited—especially for home-based care like mine.

4. Avoid Last-Minute Stress (For You and Your Dog)

Booking early means:

More time to prepare your dog Peace of mind while packing No panic the week before you leave
