On returning home make water is available but not in large amounts, increasing the amount as the day goes on. This also is the same for food, some animals present ravenous, its not that they have not been feed, its just natures way of preparing them for another move (stock up, you don’t know where the next meal is coming from).

Limit the amount of food and water until he or she settles back into their normal routine.

Kennel life can be very exciting for some dogs, running around barking at other dogs, generally having a wonderful time. These animals often leave the kennel being exhausted, although they present very happy they may sleep a lot for the first couple of days, this is quite normal.
