Whenever dogs are group- or cohoused, they must be monitored daily, especially during feeding. Dogs should be removed if they are showing signs of infectious disease or stress, including resource guarding (e.g., food, beds, toys, cage doors, or platforms); withdrawal or hiding; or a change in demeanor, activity level, appetite, elimination habits, etc. In the absence of compelling evidence that shows communally housed animals are at substantially higher risk of disease, group housing is an important welfare option to consider, especially for long-term stays, which are generally considered to be over 2 weeks.
