WHAT TO BRING
Proof of Vaccinations
Proof of core vaccinations (including vaccinations for distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and parainfluenza). We also require that your dog be vaccinated for bordatella (kennel cough). There is some debate amongst veterinarians about the best frequency of certain vaccinations. It is sufficient that your veterinarian certifies that your dog is current on these vaccinations.
"No Place Like Home" Stuff for Boarding Dogs
A blankie, bedding or something that smells like home.
Food for Boarding Dogs
Bring enough of your dog's normal food to cover the time he will be boarding with us, or make prior arrangements for us to provide your dog's food. Keep in mind that many dogs suffer stomach upset after sudden dietary changes. If you want us to feed your dog, please bring a couple of meal's worth of their normal food so we can mix the new food into their regular diet and make a gradual change in their diet. Your dog will thank you. An extra fee will be assessed if we provide food for your dog.
Medications for Boarding Dogs or Daycare Dogs
Bring enough of your dog's medication to cover the time he will be with us. Please provide the medicine in the bottle provided by your veterinarian or pharmacy, so that there will be no questions as to frequency and quantity of medications to be administered. We prefer that daycare dogs take their medications at home in the mornings or evenings, but will gladly administer medications that must be given more frequently than can be taken care of before and after daycare hours. There may be an extra fee for administration of medications.
Special Medical Information
If your dog has any special medical needs or conditions, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
Treats and Toys (for Boarding Dogs ONLY)
Bring any extra treats that you want us to give to your boarding dogs. Please do NOT bring a toy with your dog unless he really REALLY **REALLY** needs it in order to go to sleep at night. Please note that treats and toys will only be given to your dog during crate times (meals, bedtime), in order to avoid any arguments between dogs. (We don't want your dog having to defend his chew toy from 10 or 15 other dogs.)
