Cost: $18.00 minimum for single night stays. Two nights or more, $14.00/night per dog. Other minimum fees and
costs may apply during Holidays. We feed Iams dog food and prefer that you do not bring your own food. If you must
bring your dog’s own food, it must be in a sealed plastic or metal container labeled with your dog’s name. The price
remains the same. Exercise: Dogs are allowed to exercise in the Exercise Area twice each day. Please advise us if your
dog can NOT play with other compatible dogs. Otherwise, we allow compatible dogs to exercise together when
appropriate.
Vaccinations: Dog must be up to date on Rabies, Bordettella and Parvo/Distemper boosters and you must be able
to provide proof of vaccinations. This is a State Requirement. Puppies under the age of 6 months must have proof of a
negative fecal sample or deworming within 30 days prior to boarding. Adult dogs should have a negative fecal or
deworming within the past year. This requirement may be waived if the dog is on Interceptor, Sentinal or Heartgard
Plus.
Drop off & Pick-up: No drop offs or pick-ups before 9:30 a.m. Hours are between 9:30-10:30 AM and 5:00-6:
00 PM, Monday thru Saturday. Closed Sundays and Holidays. If you have an emergency, please call to ask if we can
take your dog at an alternate time-a $20.00 charge applies for all alternate pick-up or drop off times. Cancellations:
Please make reservations well in advance, if possible. Holidays can and do fill up quite early. Likewise, make any
cancellations promptly.
Entering Kennel: All dogs are required to be leashed or crated when on the kennel property. If we are open for
business, the front door will be unlocked and the sign will say Open. If no one is in the entry way, knock on the kennel
wing doors, but please do not enter unattended. We are not responsible for any incidents that happen due to negligence
of customers. Entering the kennel without a staff person in attendance is potentially dangerous and we insist that you not
do this. Dogs are occasionally allowed free time in the kennel and may be loose upon entering. Loss of that dog or
injury to humans or canines is always a possibility. If it appears no one is in attendance, please go to the burgundy door
on the south side of the big building, our home, and knock. If it appears that no one is there, please wait at the boarding
kennel or call one of the numbers on the door, as it could be that we have been somehow delayed or are in an emergency
situation.
Bedding: CLEAN bedding is allowed. Bedding is at risk of being destroyed by the dog next to yours, so please be
prepared for damage or loss. If you bring bedding, it must be freshly washed. Bedding will be removed at the discretion
of the kennel. We can also provide a towel or blanket for your pet. Crates for small dogs are allowed in their runs.
Toys, Chews… As with bedding, make sure you are willing to part with toys you bring as they can be destroyed.
We encourage you to bring or purchase safe chew toys/bones for your dog to help relieve stress during their stay. Toys
that are, in our opinion, not safe will be removed. Please, no more than 3 toys per dog.
Collars: Flat buckle collars with one or two tags are recommended. Excessive tags or loosely attached tags are
prone to catch on chain link and are not recommended. Training collars such as chokes and prongs are not allowed on
the dog in housing units.
Crating: Dogs will be housed in runs. Smaller dogs may be crated if we have no available runs. Crated dogs
receive plenty of attention and are exercised a minimum of three times daily. Any dog might be crated during its stay for
any of the following reasons among other things at the kennels discretion: Continual urination/defecation in interior run
area. Destruction of kennel or dog door. Fighting/antagonizing with other dogs. Excessive barking. Routine cleaning.
Food and Water: We feed twice daily. Fresh water is always available. It is common for your dog to miss a meal
or several meals while being boarded. It is also somewhat common for them to develop loose stools. This can be due to
stress. These symptoms of stress usually resolve quickly on their own as the dog acclimates. Feeding your dog a quality,
premium food can greatly reduce your dog’s symptoms of stress. We have great success with Iams as a food your dog
will board well with even if switching from another food. We encourage you to allow us to feed your dog unless they are
on a prescription diet.
Aggressive dogs: The kennel will not tolerate aggressive dogs. We reserve the right to refuse service and/ or
handling of aggressive dogs. If your dog threatens to bite, it may be considered aggressive. Decisions on this are final.
Male dogs and Bitches in season: Male dogs are expected not to ‘mark’ inside the housing units. Repeated
incidence of this will require the dog to be crated or housed in an exclusively outdoor unit. Bitches in season will be
boarded separate from males and crated during their peak period. The charge for boarding bitches in season is $18.00
each day she is in season.
