Overexcitement may make a pet pant considerably more and act thirsty. He was given plenty of water while boarding at the facility and is probably not really thirsty. Give them a few ice cubes to tide them over until he settles down. With food, do the same. Please be aware that excessive drinking and eating may lead to digestive upsets and bloating. Do not feed your pet for at least three hours after coming home from the boarding facility. Limit the food and water you provide until he/she settles back into life at home.

Walk your pet upon arrival or allow access to a yard. Excitement may also cause a change in urination or bowel movements outside of his regular schedule.

Kennel life can be very exciting. Some dogs charge around barking at other dogs and have a wonderful time. These dogs often leave the kennel exhausted but happy and sleep a lot for the first couple of days at home. Re-establish home patterns by sticking to a normal schedule. Pets love following a schedule. It makes them feel safe and secure.

Give your pet some personalized attention. Playtime, sitting with him, petting or brushing will help him get through the excited state and calm down
