FAQ'S

Do we bring our own food?

We do ask that you bring your own food from home pre-bagged by meal for each pet staying with us. This eliminates the chances of over or underfeeding and upset tummies from changing food. It is also highly recommened that you provide a few extra meals just in case.

What vaccinations do you require?

For Dogs we require Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella.

For Cats we require Rabies, FVRCP (Distemper), FELV (Leukemia)

Will my dog get exercised everyday?

Yes! While our runs are quite roomy, we take your dog out at least 3 times per day. Additional Playtime sessions of 15 minutes are offered for $5 per session.

Is there an extra charge for administration of medicine?

Medicine is administered free of charge. For proper storage and transportation we require that you provide all medicine in it’s original container.

Can I bring their bedding? Can I bring their favorite toys?

We want your best friend to feel like they're home. However, we do have a few restrictions. For safety reasons, we cannot accept any toys or bedding with any cloth or stuffing. We do offer our comfort beds for a small additional daily charge. Your best friend may have up to two (2) toys to play with them in their suite. We recommend only hard, durable indestructible toys. Your pet’s toys will stay with them in their suites, and we do our best to return all toys. Occasionally, a toy may be lost during a playtime or cleaning so please do not bring any special toys of value.
