NOTES:
As your dog’s owner, you know more about your dog(s) than anyone else. Does your dog have a special food or water bowl that they love to eat and drink out of? Do they have a KONG or certain treats that make them tail wag? Think of items that will help your dog feel happy and comfortable and pop them into your dog’s overnight bag.
If you have not submitted all the paperwork necessary beforehand, be sure that all required documents and forms are ready to present on your day of arrival.
Little Fluff Inn want to make your dog(s) feel as happy and calm as possible throughout the duration of their stay. By thoroughly packing your dog’s bag, you better equip us to do so.
