BOARDING QUESTIONS
Why don’t you have open or “cageless” boarding? Our resort is designed to provide the utmost in safety and comfort for your pet(s). We believe open boarding leaves too high of a risk of altercations and the spread of communicable illnesses, as well as keeping your pet from a quiet, much-needed night’s rest.
Why is your resort better than having a pet-sitter in our home? Dogs are social pack animals by nature, and most prefer spending time with other animals to being left at home alone. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, the best antidote is to keep him busy, active, and in the company of others. We de-stress pets with mental and physical challenges, such as workouts, agility field play, and socialization.
Will you welcome my pet if they’re in heat? For the safety of all of our guests, we are unable to accept female pets in heat. Animals in heat emit scents that will arouse other guests and lead to substantial management issues.
Do you accept pets that have not been spayed or neutered? Yes. Please note that if your unaltered pet goes into heat while they are boarding and you can’t pick them up within 24 hours, there will be an additional handling fee of $50 per day.
Should I bring food for my pet? Yes, we realize that some pets have specific nutritional requirements, and in those cases you should always bring your pets own food - please bring extra servings in case your flight is delayed or other unforeseen circumstances that may delay pickup of your pet. Your pup is welcome to eat our kennel food, we offer Iams - for the low fee of $1.50 per meal (we also have a vegetarian option).
May I bring my pet’s toys or bed? We have beds and blankets here and your dog will be super comfy - we promise! ! Please do not bring beds, we have found many pups tear up their own beds when in a different environment. Please feel free to bring a blanket or old T-shirt that has your smell on it, which can comfort pets.
Why do you recommend a bath after three nights of boarding? Our boarders participate in up to eight playtimes each day. After three days of play with other dogs, they can get a little pungent, and it’s best that you schedule them a bath. Baths are $25 - $45 depending on the size of your baby! (adding on nail trims would be an additional $15.00)
Will you administer my pet’s medicine? Yes, we will administer medications or treatments as needed.
What if my pet gets sick? We will call you in the rare instance that your dog experiences a health concern. If we believe a veterinarian’s attention is necessary, we will transport your pet to your personal veterinarian if their office is within five miles of our facility. If your veterinarian is further away, we will take your pet to our veterinarian of record during business hours, or to an after-hours veterinary emergency hospital as needed. You must agree to accept responsibility for expenses resulting from such treatment.
