When it comes to dog boarding—especially for anxious or rescue dogs—routine isn’t just helpful. It’s essential.

At Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, we know that dogs thrive on familiarity. From morning wake-ups to evening wind-downs, our calm, home-based environment is built around predictable routines that help reduce stress and support emotional stability during their stay.

🐾 Why Routine Matters for Dogs

Just like humans, dogs find comfort in knowing what to expect. Predictable routines:

🕒 Lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) 🐕 Create a sense of safety and control

🍽️ Improve appetite and digestion

💤 Help anxious dogs sleep better

👃 Support better adjustment in new environments

For dogs who have experienced trauma, abandonment, or multiple homes, routine becomes a powerful way to rebuild trust.

📅 What a Routine Day Looks Like at Chrysidis Pet Care

At our Bensham-based home, every dog experiences:

Evening walks at a set time, adjusted for weather and energy levels, Calm feeding times in a quiet, crate-free setting. One-on-one play and rest, often with the company of our resident Labrador, Holy. Consistent evening wind-downs—no overstimulation or unpredictable noise.

Because we never overbook, dogs are not juggled between carers or rushed through busy schedules. Every guest is treated like part of our family, with familiar scents, sounds, and spaces reinforcing their sense of calm.

💬 Why Pet Parents Trust Our Routine-Based Boarding

Many of our repeat clients come to us specifically because of our focus on routine and personalised care. We understand that every dog is different, and for anxious or rescue dogs, sudden changes can feel overwhelming.

By offering trial days before any overnight stays, we allow your dog to adjust to our rhythm gradually—just one of the many ways we reduce anxiety and build trust.

🐾 Ideal for Anxious & Rescue Dogs

Dogs with past trauma or separation anxiety Senior dogs or pets on medication Shy or under-socialised dogs Rescue dogs needing slow, calm introductions
