AFTER BOARDING INSTRUCTIONS:
There are a couple of things we hope that you will do to insure his or her transition back home. First of all, as we know you will, shower them with love and affection…

Secondly, wait a few hours before feeding, and give water in limited amounts while their systems are settling…

Thirdly, maintain and ordinary routine…

Remember that your pet has probably had an enormous amount of play time and will probably sleep a great deal. This is a normal reaction.
