The runs are heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer, so a thick bed from home is more than most dogs need.
What is already in the run
Each run has a raised Kuranda bed, a cot-style bed that keeps a dog up off the floor, plus blankets supplied by the kennel. The indoor part of the run has heat in winter and air conditioning in summer, and a doggie door lets your dog walk out to the outdoor part whenever he or she likes.
Why a home bed is not recommended
The kennel's own guidance is that beds from home are not recommended. The indoor room is climate controlled, so a big padded bed can make a dog too warm, and bedding is the item most likely to be chewed, dragged outside or soiled during a stay.
If your dog has a comfort item
Something small that smells like home is fine. The boarding agreement says you may bring comfort items, and it also says the kennel is not responsible for bedding or toys that are damaged, destroyed or lost. Choose something you will not mind replacing, and mark it with your pet's name. The what to bring page lists the rest.
What to leave at home
A favorite blanket or an expensive orthopedic bed is better kept safe at home for the day you get back. Your dog will have a bed and blankets waiting either way.
