Frequently Asked Questions

What vaccinations must my dog have to board here?
Dogs must have current Distemper, Hepatitis, Lepto, Parvo, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccinations. It is also recommended that pets use a Flea & Tick control such as Frontline or Advantage. We do our best to control fleas and ticks on the premises, but there is a chance of getting fleas anywhere and everywhere, especially being in the country where there are squirrels and rabbits.

Can we bring our own toys and bedding?
Yes! But keep in mind that toys and bedding do not always go home in the same condition as when they came in. Some dogs chew up their beds and/or the bed may become soiled. We ask that you please put pet names in permanent marker on all toys, leashes, etc. They sometimes become lost in the shuffle.

Do we bring our own food?
Absolutely, bring your own food. By bringing your own food, there is less of a chance of upset stomachs. You may also bring treats if you desire.

Do we need to bring our own bowls?
No. We use stainless steel bowls so that they can be properly sanitized.

Can we bring medications?
Medications are fine. Owner must provide plainly written instructions. Owners are asked to put meds in a weekly pill organizer which can be bought at any pharmacy. By doing this, we can make sure that the meds are properly administered. Medication administration fees are $2-$3 a dose, depending on the difficulty of the task.

How many times a day do the dogs go outside to go to the bathroom?
Every dog goes out 4-6 times a day to use the restroom and stretch. The amount that the dog goes all depends on their age and need.

Can our dogs be boarded together?
Yes, but only if they get along. If we have to stand guard over them while feeding they will be put into separate runs.

Can we board our Geriatric pets with you?
Absolutely! Please provide us with all of the information you can concerning your Geriatric pet (his daily schedule, medications, and quirks).

Can our dog play with other dogs?
Yes, but only the owner has signed a Permission to Play contract. There are certain breeds that will not be allowed to ply with others due to their natural tendencies, Rots, German Shepards, Bulldogs etc. Also, no intact males or females may play with others do to occasional bad moods.
