The Boarding Kennel

            Any dog would rather be with their owner than in any boarding kennel.  But a quality kennel is the safest place for your dog when you cannot take them with you.  We designed our kennel to make the boarding experience as relaxing as possible for our guests, in the absence of their owners.

            As dog lovers we give our guests all the LSD (love, security, and discipline) that we give our own dogs.  Whether it is a good belly rub, playing fetch, or giving treats, we do whatever we can to keep dogs happy.  At the same time, we make sure that our guests will have a secure environment that will provide a peaceful stay.  And finally, we are not pushovers that will let dogs get away with improper manners. 

            There is room in every run for a guest’s favorite toy and or bedding if their owner wishes to bring it.   While we will be happy to feed our guests the high quality Natural Balance brand Ultra Premium blend dry dog food (it is a combination chicken, duck, lamb, potato, & rice formula), it is recommended for the comfort of our guest’s stomach that customers bring their dog’s own food.

What Our Guests Can Expect

            Our guests will have access to their outdoor runs from 7am to 9pm.  At night they will be secured inside which has both fire and burglar monitored alarms.  During the day they will get some time in the large, fenced exercise areas where they can stretch their legs.

            A clean living environment is a must.  There will be somebody on site at all times to clean up any messes that may develop.

            All of our guest will be taken out to one of our many grassy play areas, 4 times a day to take care of business.  The first time is at 7am and the last is at 8pm.  And twice in the middle of that day, our guests will have an hour or more (weather permitting) outside to do as they please.  Mixing up of the dogs is determined by the dogs themselves.  We like to let the dogs play with one another but if we have any concerns, the dogs will have a pen to themselves.

Guests will be fed twice a day, morning and evening.  And after their last walk in the evening, all guest get a good night cookie or whatever their owner brought  for them.

            If your dog is taking medications, bring them along and we will make sure that they get them on schedule

The Buildings

            The kennel buildings have combination indoor/outdoor runs, with the indoor portion having heated floors for comfort.  The outdoor portion has a roof line that covers half of the run so our guests can be outside enjoying the sun or under cover in the shade or out of the rain.

            The walls between the kennels are 4’ high solid walls so your dog will have a quieter environment that is also more secure.  It is a lot like their own little den that dogs like when they just want to be alone.

            And finally, we even put in a few things for us, the owners who will be spending a lot of time in the building.  There will be some music for us to enjoy that will also keep the guests from hearing one another.  The plumbing was designed to make keeping the facility clean a whole lot easier.

Reservations are a must.  It is recommended that when you make your own travel plans (overnight or longer), and you will need a place for your 4 legged family members, make reservations for your pet.  We take reservations up to a year in advance.  Holidays are sometimes booked a month in advance, and summer time is almost the same. 

Requirements

            All guests must be current on all vaccines (see the rates page) and on some flea prevention program.  We take all breeds, but no vicious dogs. We take non altered dogs and cats, but please, no female guests in heat.

Cat Boarding

         We decided to add cat boarding to our facility to accommodate the families with both dogs and cats. It’s hard enough to leave your pets but having to leave them in different places makes it even harder. So we have a small but comfortable facility for the cats to call home while you’re away. The cat towers are in a separate room in the daycare building. The room is heated and is equipped with fire and burglar monitored alarms.

Each tower is equipped with a potty box, bed, food and water dishes. We will be feeding Natural Balance cat food but if your want to bring your own food we will be happy to feed it instead. If you desire you may also bring your kitties own bed and toys. Their own things make them feel more at home while they are here.  Cats are let out of their towers at various times of day to roam the room or find a different place to catch a cat nap.

 Also if your kitty needs medication while it is here we will administer it free of charge.

Each kitty needs to be current on their FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations. They also need to be on some kind of flea control program.
