FAQs

Do I have to bring food for my dog during boarding?

No. We will gladly feed your dog our house food (Natures Domain) for $5 per day. This can however upset stomachs of dogs so most people choose to bring their own food.

Can I bring pre-cooked or raw food?

Yes. We have many clients who feed their dogs cooked or raw food. We have a freezer and refrigerator to store food in while they are here.

Can I bring my dogs food in the original bag?

No. Please bring your dogs food in an air tight container. We live near a lot of fields and bringing paper, plastic or original bags of dog food make it very difficult for us to keep away ants, rodents and other critters that love dog food. We require a HARD plastic container for the sanitary keeping of your dogs food for their stay with us.

I already keep my dogs food in a large plastic container. Can I just bring the whole container?

No. We do not have room to store large food containers. Our bin’s for your dogs belongings is approximately 12×12 inches. Please only bring enough food for your dogs stay with us.

What vaccination records do I need? Is my dogs Rabies tag enough?

We require the rabies vaccination to be current in order for your dog to participate in daycare, boarding, training or evaluations. We recommend that you speak with your vet about keeping up to date on all other vaccinations.
The Rabies tag will not be acceptable for proof of vaccination. We need to have a paper copy for our records.

Do I need to bring a bed/blanket for my dog while he/she stays with you?

Beds/blankets are welcome. We have cots and blankets on hand if you would rather not bring your own.

Do I need to bring bowls?

No. We have bowls that we use and prefer that you leave your bowls at home so they do not get mixed up with ours.
