We had to put our mastiff Tinker and our minpin Bebe in a kennel for 4 days when we moved, in January this year.
We called every day to check on them, 2nd day they told us Tinker was depressed and wouldn't eat or drink, so they put Bebe in with him for 24 hours to cheer him up. We had sent their beds and toys with them, too, but he is really attached to us...For a month after we moved, he stayed glued to our sides...

I kenneled my now-departed Labrador ONE time, when I had to go out of town for a funeral on short notice.
He licked and chewed the hair off both front legs he was so nervous... a habit that was really hard to break, and a habit he would start to do any time after that when he was stressed. Some dogs take things in stride, some see separation as a major trauma.

Wow, you'd think they'd let the dogs be together as it was! Even if just side-by-side adjoining kennels.
Nice-looking dogs.
