Can I bring bedding, toys and treats for my pet? 

Yes, you can bring labeled bedding, toys and treats. However, we do provide these items during your pet's stay. Rawhides will not be accepted. Please do not bring valuable or irreplaceable items as they may become soiled or separated from your pet during the stay.


Do I need to bring my pet's own food? 

While we provide Iams food, you are more than welcome to supply dog food from home in a labeled container or pre-portioned bags. We supply freezing, refrigeration, and heating as needed. Please inform our staff of any dietary restrictions or food sensitivities that your dog may have.


Do you administer medications? 

Yes, we will administer medications. All medications must be clearly labeled. We do not give shots. If your dog has a serious illness or injury, we recommend contacting your veterinarian for alternative boarding arrangements.


Can I pick up my dog after business hours?

Appointments may be scheduled outside of our regular office hours for a $15 fee per dog. Based on availability.


What if there is an emergency medical problem?

If there is an illness, we will contact you and your veterinarian. If your veterinarian is in the area, we will try to use them. If we are unable to reach you in an emergency, we will seek care that is in the best interest of your pet. Pet owners are responsible for any veterinary costs if medical attention is required.

If a dog needs to be taken to the vet there will now be a $25 transport fee.


Is there a chance my pet may come home with fleas?

If fleas and ticks are present, the dog will be treated at the owner's expense before entering the kennel. Since we are located in a rural area, we encourage the use of flea/tick preventative.
