Question 1

HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU BOARD AT ONE TIME?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

WHAT SHOTS ARE REQUIRED?​​​​​​​

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

WHAT ABOUT FLEA TREATMENT?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

WHAT WILL YOU DO IF MY DOG GETS INJURED OR SICK?​​​​

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

​WHAT SHOULD I BRING FROM HOME?

Accepted Answer

Dog food 
Feeding instructions - How much?  How often? 
Dog bowl 
*Collar with ID tag and your contact information 
Harness 
6’ leash

Optional: 
Bed 
Toys – may get damaged or destroyed
An unwashed article of clothing with your scent on it

*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.

Question 6

​​​WILL MY DOG BE CRATED?

Accepted Answer

No, this is a cage-free environment. However, you can bring a crate if your dog is
crate-trained and must sleep in one.

Question 7

ARE YOU ABLE TO GIVE MY DOG HIS MEDICATION?

Accepted Answer

I administer oral medication and topical treatments. I provide these services free
ofw charge. Please make sure the medication is labeled and provide written
dosing instructions.
