Why Dog Boarding

Before talking about the dog's house or dog kennel let us explore the history of a "dog" itself. There are archaeological evidences that show that dogs were quite common in ancient Egypt, going back to 4500 BC. They were considered as faithful pets and hunting partners. Some people even considered dogs as messengers of the gods.

Ancient Chinese, Greek, and Roman societies also had dogs as their pets and were often viewed as status symbols. Small dogs were popular as "companion dogs". They spent much of their time living and sleeping under the same roof as their owner. The master's home was their home.

Now let us talk some things about the dog's house. The Egyptian nobility kept their hounds in mud-brick kennels. Here the dogs were trained and cared for by professional dog trainers. Some of the earliest known dog houses find their place in the historical record.
