Why is there a "daycare frequency" policy?

We are a cage free facility. We do not have kennels to hold individual dogs at a given time should your dog or another dog feel stressed.

Stress reveals itself in many way including excessive barking, jumping, digging, baring teeth, reactivity, aggressive behavior and cowering.

We require daycare dogs attend a minimum of one (1) time per week to ensure the pack is consistent and comfortable with each other.

For those who would like to board, if your dog has not attended within the last month, we require a re-visit plus 1-2 additional visits to ensure there are no signs of stress before you jet-off. We also require an emergency contact so we are confident there is back-up should we have concerns.

Having dogs come with enough frequency gives is knowledge and comfort that all the dogs at our facility will feel safe and comfortable.

How do I prepare food and medicine for Boarding?

All food must be in individually bagged for each meal (lunch, dinner) for each day (Monday, Tuesday....)

Please check your bag count! If there is a chance you may need an extra day, please pack an extra meal or two.

If your dog requires medicine, please fill a pill minder with your dogs name and medicine needed in appropriate days and meals (Monday- AM, Monday- PM).

Please make sure feeding and medicine details are also clearly written in Kennel Connection where you made the reservation.

FAQ image

How do you manage feeding?

We feed every dog individually in a private feeding room according the details you have shared in Kennel Connection as well as on our check-in paperwork.

On occasions, we may feed siblings together but only if clients have asked or agreed that siblings may eat together.

If you have a picky eater, please share recommendations. We have a few tricks up our sleeve including warm water, beef broth, peanut butter, pumpkin, rice and other treats. We take notes at each feeding how much a dog has eaten. If we notice that they have not eaten two meals in a row, we will reach out!

A reminder: While we keep track of dog allergies, it is best to remind us in your reservation if you are expecting us to feed your dog.

FAQ image

How do you manage medicine?

We administer medicine according to the instructions you listed in Kennel Connection as well as at drop-off. In most cases, medicine is given with a particular meal therefore AM/PM Pill minders ensure we get each feeding/med correct.

There is a $3 fee to administer medicine. If you require pill pockets and they are not provided, there is a $2 fee per pill pocket.

FAQ image

My dog likes to eat lunch during daycare, may I send food in?

If you have a puppy, we will feed your dog for free.

Once your dog is over six (6) months, there is a $7 fee for feeding for daycare.

Feedings are always free for boarding.
