Questions About Services
Q: If my dog stays for boarding can I chose to do daycare half of their stay?
A: No, you must chose whether or not you want the daily play for their entire stay. If you sign your dog up for daily play and they do not like it or do not get along with others, they will be taken out permanently and you will not be charged daycare fees. We now offer half day daycare for those dogs that may get too tired or sore from playing all day.
Q: Do you offer grooming?
A: Yes. We do have a groomer on staff but for limited hours. So call today to make your appointment.
Q: If I do not do daycare will my pet have to stay in all day?
A: No. If you chose not to do daycare a staff member will take your dog out individually to the singles yard where they can get some fresh air, stretch their legs and go potty. They will go out at least three times a day for approximately 30 minutes, and will not interact with any other dog.
Q: Should I tip my bather?
A: You are more than welcome to tip your bather/groomer if you think it was a job well done. Staff members here do not receive a commission for the baths they give.

Questions About What to Bring
Q: What will our dog eat?

We have a freezer, and microwave in our facility to accommodate any diet. We also offer a variety of Royal Canin pet foods and Merrick canned dog food if you would like to purchase food when you drop your pet off.
Q: Should I bring my own bed?
A: Yes you can. You can bring in beds or toys but unfortunately they can get mixed up in the laundry if your dog potties on them. We do provide a bed, blanket, or rug for every dog.

The bordetella vaccine also must be administered every 6 months. Cats are required to have a rabies vaccination and distemper vaccination.
Q: Can’t you just call my vet and ask them to fax over records for you?
A: No. because of privacy laws we are not able to request your pets records. You can either call your vet and have them faxed over to us, or bring them in the day you drop off your pet for boarding.
Q: Can I fill out paperwork in advance?
A: Yes, on your first visit you will receive a folder with information about our facility, and general boarding pamphlets. Additionally, there will be paperwork you need to return to us. You can pick up the folder and paperwork anytime before your stay, or choose to fill it out at the store when you drop off.
