Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, I board 4 – 6 dogs per day and no more than 5 dogs for overnight

boarding. I limit the number of dogs I board so each dog gets love and affection.

Commercial facilities board too many dogs to provide high quality personal care.

Rabies vaccination is required by law. In addition, vets recommend DHPP,

Bordetella, Leptospirosis and Canine Influenza for dogs exposed to other dogs in

social or boarding settings. Please bring a copy of the vet’s paperwork showing

up-to-date vaccination status.

Your dog must be on an effective, year-round flea prevention program for health

and comfort as well as for mine and that of other boarders. Your vet can

recommend an effective oral product.

In an emergency, I’ll take your dog to the nearest vet and contact you

immediately. If non-emergency care is needed, I’ll contact you to decide the best

course of action.

*I recommend having your dog’s ID tag on a collar so they’re always wearing it. I use harnesses on walks and remove them at home and in the yard to avoid the slight risk of getting entangled while playing with the other dogs.

No, this is a cage-free environment. However, you can bring a crate if your dog is

crate-trained and must sleep in one.

I administer oral medication and topical treatments. I provide these services free

ofw charge. Please make sure the medication is labeled and provide written
