Choosing dog boarding in Oklahoma City
Dog boarding in and around Oklahoma City ranges from small kennels to pet resorts and day care centers with overnight stays. Visit before you book: a good facility will happily show you where dogs sleep, play and eat, and how it keeps them comfortable through the seasons.
Visiting is your best check
Oklahoma's Commercial Pet Breeders and Animal Shelter Licensing Act covers commercial breeders and animal shelters, not boarding kennels, so the visit is your inspection. The city's fee schedule does list a kennel permit for dogs and cats, so ask a facility which city permits it holds. Look for clean, dry runs, fresh water, secure fencing, staff who know the dogs by name, and a clear plan for a dog that gets sick.
Vaccines
Oklahoma City requires dogs to carry a current rabies vaccination and tag (OKC Animal Welfare). Most facilities also ask for DHPP and Bordetella (kennel cough), and many ask for canine influenza, whose first course is two doses a few weeks apart. In March 2023 the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter closed to contain an outbreak that tested positive for canine flu and strep zoo and sickened 298 dogs, according to a city bulletin, so ask how a facility separates a dog that starts coughing.
What to ask
- Where do dogs sleep, and is someone on site overnight?
- Is play time in groups or one dog at a time, and how are groups matched?
- How do they keep dogs comfortable in hot and cold weather?
- Which vet do they use in an emergency?
- Can you bring your dog's own food, bedding or medication?
Busy dates and cold snaps
Facilities fill up for summer, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, so book early. Oklahoma City Animal Welfare reminds owners to protect dogs when the temperature dips below 32 degrees (Oklahoma City Free Press), so ask how dogs are kept warm during a freeze. Bring your dog's vaccination records and your vet's contact details.
