CHECKLISTS SAY WHAT. PROCEDURES SAY HOW.

A checklist reminds your team to give morning medications. The procedure tells them how: check the five rights, read the label against the log, watch the dog swallow, record it right away, and never double a missed dose. That's the difference between a team that checks boxes and a team that does it right when you're not there.

BUILT FOR THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN IN A BOARDING BUSINESS

Opening and closing. Feeding. Medications. Cleaning. Check-ins and check-outs. Shift communication. Behavior concerns. A scuffle in the play yard. A dog that slips out the door. A power outage in July.

Instead of relying on someone to remember what to do, give your team a process they can follow.

EDIT IT. BRAND IT. USE IT.

Download the files, add your business name, adjust the procedures to match your facility and start training your team.

Better systems. More consistency. Less chaos.

These are templates based on common boarding and daycare practices. Confirm chemical dilutions against your product labels, review health and emergency steps with your veterinarian, and check your local rules.
