I guess we are spoiled for choice now...here I was thinking that there is a dearth of quality dog accomodation.

Home Boarding at Cheras (for anyone who is interested you can google it) is, as its name makes clear, a service that allows you to board your dog in a home environment. The dogs are allowed to roam around the house, under supervision, throughout most of the day; when they have to be left alone, they are kept in rooms with dogs of the same sex (and size, I think). The dogs are walked twice a day. The lady who runs this, Lennie, screens the dogs before they are allowed to board at her place, looking out for things like health, temperament, etc. She has four of her own dogs and often takes at least as many boarders during the holiday season. It costs RM 35 per day, with surcharges on eves and public holidays, as well as after hours pick-up (food not included). Based on my visit, which lasted about an hour, she seems to me to be very meticulous as well as very experienced and knowledgable when it comes to dogs.

I've boarded my dog at a vet and a pet shop before. While home boarding may cost more, I think it's well worth considering-you get to know that your dog is in responsible hands.
