What do I need to bring for my dog’s stay?2025-10-22T22:13:45-04:00

To ensure the best quality and safest experience we ask that you do not bring personal items. We provide beds/bedding that are sanitized daily, a variety of toys are provided for playtime that are also sanitized daily, we provide tear-away collars for dogs that are in group play (otherwise collars are not left on any dog), and of course we provide lots of love and attention. We do ask that you provide food for your pets stay, we ask that it be bagged per day (if kennel food is required there is an additional cost to the stay)

No, but it can sometimes affect Group Play.

What if my dog is in heat? Can she board?2025-10-22T22:15:00-04:00

Yes. As long as we know she is in Heat we can keep her “safe”

Can I tour your facility?2025-10-22T22:15:37-04:00

Yes! We want you to feel comfortable with your pet staying with us. For safety reasons we ask that you do not bring your pet with you for tours. We encourage tours Monday through Friday 8am till 5pm and Saturday 8am till 4pm. We do not offer tours on Sunday due to limited lobby hours.

If you are scheduled to come in for training, we strongly encourage you to tour prior to drop off if you would like to see the facility, otherwise we can give you a tour at training pick up on Friday.

What Vaccinations Do You Require?2025-10-22T22:16:25-04:00

We require rabies vaccine for all dogs over 5 months of age. We require distemper/parvo combo vaccine for all dogs 12 weeks and older (puppies 12-18 weeks must show proof of at least 3 separate combo vaccines). Bordatella vaccine is required for all dogs regardless of age. Canine Influenza vaccine is strongly encouraged by our local vets but is not a requirement. We must have proof of all the above before your pet is allowed at the facility, the only exception is if we have a signed document from your veterinarian stating that your pet is exempt from vaccines for medical reasons and that they are not at risk to board.

Yes, we can give medications. We ask that all the medication be brought in the original bottles and that you bring in something to put the medication in (cheese, pill pocket, etc.). There is an additional charge for injectable medication and these medications must be pre-drawn (no exception)
