What to Pack for Your Dog’s Overnight Stay

A Handy Guide for Pet Parents in Gateshead

Planning your dog’s first boarding stay with Chrysidis Pet Care? Whether it’s for one night or several, making sure your dog has what they need helps them feel comfortable, calm, and at home.

Here’s a quick packing checklist to prepare for your dog’s stay:

1. Familiar Bedding or Blanket

Bring a bed or blanket with the scent of home—it gives your dog a sense of comfort and security while they adjust to a new space.

2. Favorite Toy or Chew

A well-loved toy or safe chew item helps reduce boredom and provides a sense of familiarity.

3. Any Medications or Supplements

If your dog takes medications or daily supplements, please provide them clearly labeled with instructions. I’m experienced in administering meds as needed.

4. Collar and Lead

Please bring your dog’s collar and lead for walks, outings, or safety needs during their stay.

5. Routine Notes

Let me know about your dog’s normal schedule—meal times, bathroom habits, nap routines, or anything unique to their care. I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible.

What I Provide:

Nutritious, high-quality food during the stay Clean bowls, bedding (if needed), and plenty of fresh water A calm, quiet home environment—never a kennel

Helpful Tip: Keep goodbyes calm and quick. A confident handoff helps your dog settle in faster—and I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.
