I work at a vet clinic, and we see lots of dogs from both locations with diarrhea, colds, etc. Make sure your pet(s) are fully vaccinated, have a recent Bordatella treatment, and have current flea and tick protection. This will give your pet the best chance of boarding without picking something up.

Bordatella can be given every 6 months. I would recommend getting it at least one week prior to the anticipated boarding date. A current bordatella vaccination (or nasal treatment) is required for boarding at most facilities; if the facility you wish to board at does not require proof of bordatella treatment, *DO NOT* board there!
If your next check-up (annual or semi-annual) is due in January, schedule the visit *AFTER* your pet has boarded.

Another option you can look into are professional dog sitters that care for them in your home.
