Necessities
COME! STAY! EAT! PLAY!
Please feel free to bring their beds, toys (except balls), and treats from home. We have lots of treats with which to spoil your dog so unless your dog has allergies bringing treats is not necessary; please let us know if your dog cannot eat a certain type or if they cannot eat dental chews. If you prefer, we can supply a clean blanket bed. If you don’t bring your own bed, it will ease your dogs’ anxiety if you can bring an old t-shirt you’ve slept in or worn, or a towel that has the smells of home and we will put it in with your dog. We do not allow balls, because they can be a choking hazard, but we have some available for playing fetch. The balls are put away afterward.
You will need to fill out paperwork that will provide contact information, vet information, an emergency contact and feeding and medication instructions. To avoid tummy upsets you bring your dog’s food and always bring extra. We have a refrigerator and freezer available for raw diet foods and medications. I supply sanitized stainless steel food bowls and water pails. Should your dog eat out of a slowdown bowl please bring it as we do not supply them.
For everyone’s safety we require proof of vaccinations or titers. All adult dogs are required to be up to date on their three-year Rabies, Distemper and Parvo. Bordetella for kennel cough is also required, and should be given within the last six months to one year prior to their visit depending on the type given.
Vaccination requirements are different for puppies; they should be up to date on their vaccines based on their age. I require proof of vaccination paperwork from your veterinarian that shows the date the vaccinations are due next. Vaccine antibody titers are acceptable and recommended, paperwork from your veterinarian for titers is also required and must meet certain requirements.
Pickup and/or delivery, if requested and if available, is arranged at the time of booking your reservation. The cost is $1 per mile, round trip. Dogs travel safely in a van in crates with cooling and heating ensured. Since we are busiest in the mornings, this service is only offered afternoons and evenings. Because we only have one pick up and delivery driver the other of us must be at the facility when clients drop off and pick up their dogs. We make sure times are convenient as possible for everyone.
