1. When can I drop my dog off for
boarding? Dogs can be dropped
off anytime between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, provided they
have a reservation to stay with us. To
make a reservation, please call us at (570) 489-2118. 2. Can I visit the kennel before
making a reservation? You are welcome to
visit at any time during our regular business hours, but, as a courtesy to
the dogs already staying with us, please do not bring your dog with you until
you are checking him in. 3. Do I need to bring anything
with my dog? Before your dog can stay with us, we’ll need to check that his DHLPP, Rabies, and Bordetella (Kennel Cough) vaccines are all up to date, so please bring a copy of his vaccination records with you. Please also make sure that your dog is wearing a properly fitted collar and identification tag. You are also
welcome to bring your dog’s own food, treats, toys, or a blanket/bed if you
wish. If you do not bring food, we
provide Sportmix dry dog food. When bringing a blanket or bed, please try
not to bring anything too large to fit into a standard washing machine. 4. Will you give my dog his
medication while he is boarding? We will administer any medications that do not
require injections. When bringing
medications, please also remember to pack whatever else you may use at home
to give the dog their daily dosage.
(Peanut butter, cheese, dosing syringe, etc.) Please bring medications in their original
prescription bottles or write down the name of the medication for us. If your dog requires more than two
medications or a daily procedure such as medicated ear washes, tending to
bandages, etc. an additional charge may be applied. 5. I have two
dogs that are boarding. Can they stay
in the same run? At this time all
dogs are kept in separate runs to promote cleanliness and to reduce
stress. We are currently looking into altering
some of our runs to a larger size in order to accommodate more than one dog. 6. Can you train my dog while
she’s boarding? Yes and no. A
usual “vacation-length” stay at the kennel is not quite long enough for us to
accomplish as much as we would like to when training your dog. We do, however, have a very successful In-Board Training program
that is an option. 7. Can you groom my dog while
she’s boarding? Grooming and/or
nail trimming can be provided at an extra charge and will be done on the day
that your dog is scheduled to go home.
Please let us know in advance if you would like your dog to be groomed
before she leaves so we can add her to the appointment book. 8. Do you walk the dogs? As a precaution to
prevent dogs from escaping or slipping out of their collars, we do not walk
them outside the fences at any time unless their owner is present. For exercise, each dog has a private 18
foot outdoor run with a roof to provide shade and protection from the
elements. 9. My dog is at the kennel at the
same time as my neighbor’s dog. Can
they play together? For health and safety reasons, all dogs are kept
separate at all times. Dogs that play
well together at home when their owners are present may react very
differently in a strange place with strangers around them. |
