While we mainly board dogs and cats, we will board anything that you can fit through the door. We have boarded potbelly pigs, monkeys, lizards, fish, turtles, ferrets, rabbits, snakes, sheep and house-plants. We also have special areas just for birds. (We raise birds so we know how you want them to be taken care of! We also have trained pet care technicians that are familiar with all type of pets.)
For our cuddly canines we provide runs, not cages, with adjoining sleeping quarters that are heated for winter and air-conditioned for the summer. Our runs are extra large. They are five feet wide and up to twenty four feet long on the out side, and four and one half feet by four and one half feet on the inside. Plush bedding is provided at no charge. Our senior citizens can enjoy our geriatric ward for those special needs.
For our finicky felines we provide separate quarters away from the noise of our canine companions. Different room styles are available for those felines with special needs. All kitty condos come with ledges to jump on. You can also get a room with a outside view.
Medications and special diets can be arranged for those that need them. Our computer system keeps track of when, what, and how often your pet need their medication or special diets. Nothing is too good for your pet!
Things you should know about boarding your pet with us:
Check-In & Check-Out
Check-in is any time during our business hours. Boarding rates vary by pet weight, and charges are incurred based upon calendar days, not hours. The first day is a full day charge; however check-out day is free if you check-out your pet by 1:00pm (just like a hotel).
Reservations
Reservations are requested and a deposit may be required during the holiday boarding periods. Deposits will be refunded if the reservation is canceled at least two days before the scheduled visit.
1) Start boarding your pet at the kennel at an early age. If you wait until your pet
is older to take them to the boarding kennel, they might have a difficult time
adjusting. If you are taking an old dog to the kennel for the first time, we
suggest trying out the kennel for a weekend.
2) Before it's time to kennel your pet, go and look at all the boarding kennels.
Only you can decide which boarding kennel is for you.
3) When you take your dog to check in at the boarding kennel, make sure you have
your dog on a leash. It's safer for him and it's our rule.
4) Ask the kennel what you should bring. We encourage people to bring in treats,
toys, or special food.
5) When you check in your pet at the boarding kennel, bring in your most recent
vaccination certificate.
6) Give the kennel operator as much information as possible about your pet,
along with past health problems and any medications that your pet might be on.
7) When checking in at the boarding kennel, try not to make your pet feel like
he's being left behind. Try not to have tears or any guilty feelings as your pet
will sense your feelings and will think that something's wrong. He may become
frightened and fearful, thinking that you are abandoning him, and will have a
difficult adjustment period for the first day or two. The best thing to do is to
reassure your pet that everything is fine and tell him that you will see him soon.
8) Check out the kennel policies and hours before you drop off your pet. Try to
understand and follow them.
