We require your dog to be vaccinated against rabies, parvo/distemper, bordetella and canine influenza.
Rabies and Distemper/Parvo are given every 3 years (after the initial 1 year vaccine)
Boarding fees – $32.00 per dog per night. Family Discount-additional dogs receive a 10% discount.
Do you fill up? Yes, we do. State holidays, weekends, school vacations and during the summer months especially, therefore, we recommend making reservations for your pet as early as possible. Don't hesitate to call for those last minute things that come up...you never know! Once we are full, we begin a waiting list for any possible future cancellations.
Boarding puppies? We are VERY happy to board puppies as long as they are 4 months old and fully vaccinated. Of course, being young they need special attention so we usually keep them “up front” and keep a very close eye on them. They get fed more often, have more rest periods and get outside more often than our adult guests. Most veterinarians have recommendations regarding boarding young puppies, so please speak with your veterinarian before making a decision regarding boarding.
What type of exercise will my dog get? We get each dog out of their runs and into our play yard at least 5 times a day to play for roughly 30 minutes. They also run and play in their runs. It is not uncommon for dogs to go home after boarding more exhausted than when they came in, as they get so much exercise while here.
When my dog comes home from boarding, he/she drinks a TON of water – don’t you give water there? We get asked this question all the time! Please rest assured that your dog has water available 24 hours a day. We’re not sure why it is, but some dogs don’t drink as much while boarding (maybe they’re like children and are having too much fun to worry about such things!) If this happens with your dog, we would encourage you to monitor how much water your dog drinks in a short amount of time because, at times, dogs drink a large amount too quickly and it causes them to throw up.
Toys – We cannot accept the following as they can be choking hazards - rawhide, rope toys and hooves. Please be aware that you may not receive these things back.
Beds – You are more than welcome to bring your dogs bed for them to have during their stay; however, we recommend that you bring older beds or a towel for them just in case they decide to be naughty and nibble on that designer bed! Dogs often do things while boarding that they don’t do at home.
Bordetella and Canine Influenza are given yearly.
The initial vaccine for Canine Influenza is a 2 dose vaccine protocol with 3 weeks in between the first and second dose.
We strongly recommend that your dog be vaccinated against canine influenza 1 month prior to boarding, so that the vaccination has time to take effect before entering the kennel. If your dog is approaching the expiration date for the canine influenza, we recommend a booster prior to boarding.

Do you refuse service to any particular dog breeds or intact dogs? We accept all dog breeds as long as your dog is not aggressive to people. We are happy to accommodate fearful dogs that don’t like to be touched as long as they can tolerate our being in their space to clean.
We are happy to accommodate intact animals of both genders. Please be sure to inform us if there is ANY chance your female may come into season while she is boarding with us.
