What Happens If a Dog Is Boarded for One Day?

Boarding for one day is usually no big deal, since one day is short, about like the owner going to work. If you are just away for a day, consider not boarding: leave extra food and water and cut the power to avoid accidents, which also prevents anxiety, refusal to eat, or barking in a strange place.

But if you are away longer and board for several days, the dog may develop separation anxiety and become clingy and insecure when you bring it home.
