Dog boarding in Küssnacht
Hygiene and furnishings in our dog boarding facility
A well-kept, dog-friendly environment, clear hygiene standards and attentive health monitoring form the basis of our day and holiday care in the Doggy Deluxe Loft.
Direct answer
Why is hygiene important in a dog boarding facility?
Hygiene reduces the risk of transmitting parasites, fungal infections and other infectious diseases. It supports a pleasant indoor climate and, together with safe furnishings, creates the basis for dogs to feel comfortable and relax.
Personally important
Why this topic is particularly important to us.
In our experience, hygiene is discussed in around nine out of ten initial discussions with new customers. Many dog owners tell us about problems in previous care and that their dog was subsequently affected by parasites, a fungal infection or another contagious disease.
These experiences show us how important trust is. Anyone who leaves their dog in someone else's hands wants to be able to trust that common areas, places to lie down, bowls, textiles and shared items will be carefully looked after.
Clear principles
Clean areas and measures appropriate to the situation.
The rooms and objects used by the dogs are checked and maintained according to clear internal standards. Contamination is removed as quickly as possible. We deliberately do not publish specific product names and internal detailed processes.
Lounge and relaxation areas
Floors, berths, doors, barriers and frequently used contact areas are carefully checked and maintained.
Bowls and textiles
Food and water bowls, blankets, pads and shared items require careful and clear handling.
Cleaning and disinfection
Cleaning removes dirt and residue. Targeted disinfection is used depending on the situation if there is a specific or increased health risk.
Furnished for dogs
Safety, indoor climate and real relaxation.
A dog boarding facility doesn't just have to look practical. The facility is intended to provide orientation, reduce avoidable risks and meet the different needs of young, adult and older dogs.
- Safe and clear lounge areas
- Protected lying and resting areas
- Options for retreat if necessary
- Easy to clean and suitable surfaces
- Regular air exchange and a pleasant room climate
- Individual support instead of rigid group division
Health in view
React responsibly when something is noticed.
If a dog shows signs of an infectious disease, parasite infestation or other health change, the situation is assessed carefully. Depending on the situation, additional hygiene measures, spatial separation, informing the owners or a veterinary examination may be necessary.
Observe
Changes in behavior or health are taken seriously and passed on within the team.
Protect
Measures appropriate to the situation protect both the affected dog and the other dogs in care.
Inform
For us, open communication with the owners is part of responsible care.
