Can my dog have its own bedding and toys?
We provide all towels, blankets, clothes, collars, leashes and toys, so there is no need to bring your own. If your pet has a special toy or “security blanket,” it is totally okay for it to have it while boarding, but please keep in mind we accept no liability in the event these these item are lost or damaged, which can happen as a part of our routine cleaning.
If your dog has a medical need to be walked on a harness, please discuss it with the kennel supervisor or office manager and exceptions can be made.
Do you provide pet food?
We provide Purina Chicken and Rice to all pets boarding with us. However, we recommend you provide whatever food your pet is used to eating at home. This will help to keep them stress free. If your dog or cat is prone to gastrointestinal issues, or is on a special diet, please bring your own food.
If your pet is on a special diet and you do not bring it, you will be financially responsible for any special diet that has to be purchased for your pet.
**I have to head out of town on emergency! Can my pet stay with you?**
We understand emergencies or last-minute boarding needs happen. We can accommodate a lot of scenarios and pets can board in most instances; however, required exams and vaccines must be performed as soon as the pet arrives. Contact us for availability and to discuss your situation.
Can you give my pet its medications?
We are experts at helping animals take their medicine. We request that every medication be brought in its original prescription bottles — This helps us ensure your animal is getting the right dose at the right time.
If your pet is on medication and you do not provide it, you will be financially responsible for any and all medications dispensed for your pet.
Can I pick my pet up early?
Of course! If you would like to pick up earlier than your scheduled pick up date please give us a call; even if it is just an hour’s notice.
What if my pet makes messes while boarding?
We understand that animals make messes. We do our best to keep your pets clean and comfortable while they stay with us and will always try to send a pet home as clean as it was when dropped off.
