Do I need to bring anything with me when boarding my pet(s)?
The only thing you are required to bring are any medications that your animal is currently taking. We can provide bedding, food, and any other necessary supplies. You are, however, welcome to bring your own food (to avoid any GI upset), toys, or bedding.
What vaccines does my pet need to be current on for boarding?
Rabies, DAPP, and Bordatella vaccines are required to board for any length of time. If vaccines were done elsewhere, please bring documentation showing that the vaccines were given. If they are not up to date, we can do them while your pet is here for boarding.
Does anyone stay overnight with the boarding animals?
Staff members are with the boarding animals from 7am to 6pm. At all other times the boarding facilities are closely monitored electronically for temperature conditions and safety.
What does a bath include?
A technician will do an ear cleaning, anal gland expression, nail trim, and bath. Any dog being dropped off for a bath must be dropped off between 7:30 and 8:00am. He/She will be ready for pickup in the early afternoon. Your pet must be current on Rabies, DAPP, and Bordatella vaccines. If vaccines were done elsewhere, please bring documentation showing that the vaccines were given. If they are not up to date, we can do them while your pet is here for a bath.
When is grooming available?
We have a groomer on-site every Wednesday. Please call at least one week in advance to schedule a grooming appointment. All animals must be up to date on Rabies, DAPP, and Bordatella vaccines. If vaccines were done elsewhere, please bring documentation showing that the vaccines were given. If they are not up to date, we can do them while your pet is here for grooming.
