Boarding pets
Article Abstract:
Five vets who visited 62 licensed kennels and catteries found 1/4out-of-date and badly designed. Hygiene, pen sizes and exercise facilities varied. Cats should be separated by 'sneeze barriers' to protect them from infection. Pens should not be stacked on top of each other. There should be isolation facilities for sick animals. The British Veterinary Association published guidelines in 1985. It is important to look round kennels and catteries before choosing one.
