If you are reading this then finding the right mastiff kennels is a priority for you. Making sure your pet bullmastiff is properly cared for when you are away should be a priority. We have prepared some guidelines to use in finding the right mastiff kennels for selection.

The Steps

The following steps should be the very least criteria you use to gauge when locating a prospective kennel for your mastiff. Don’t forget your rights start with your choice. Even though you aren’t buying the kennel you should treat the decision as if you were.

1) A List Should Be Created. Track the addresses, business names and phone numbers of the prospective kennels in a list form. To each line add a column for “Allow Tours” and “Kennel Condition”. Check each kennel to see if they allow tours. If they don’t then immediately remove them from the list.

2) Rate Each Kennel’s cleanliness. For this you should rate each kennel on a scale of 1 to 10. With 1 being the best and 10 being the worst. Take notice when you tour that kennel for some very specific things:

- What is the Staff’s Training Regarding Cleaning. If it’s not performed at least daily then add 4 to the cleanliness score.

- Staff’s Cleaning Training Schedule. Find out how often the kennel performs cleaning. If not at least once a day then add 4 to the cleanliness score

- Does the staff immediately clean up when a dog has a bowel movement? If not add 2 to the cleanliness score

Keep in mind that the best way to preserve your mastiff’s health is to make sure they are kept in a clean environment. After looking at each kennel you should have a semi objective cleanliness score. At the end of all of your tours get rid of all but the lowest three.

3) What Is The Feeding Schedule of the Kennel. Find out their policy regarding special request. This is important in determining if you can bring your mastiffs own food to the kennel.

4) Determine The Provided Medical Care. If they provide the right services then when you are going out of town you can use that as a time to have any shots or scheduled check-ups performed. A vet on call should be provided if the Kennel is not associated with a vet’s office. Medical training should be provided by the staff at a rudimentary level.

Summary

You will have a choice to make after eliminating the kennels with cleanliness issues. Choose based on services and price. The mastiffs kennel that has the services and cleanliness you desire may be a challenge depending on your budget. By using all the information available you can make sure that the optimum choice for finding the right mastiff kennels for your beloved mastiff was made.
