Vaccines:   For the safety of all our patients and guests, we require that all dogs be current on DA2P, Parvo, Rabies and Intranasal Bordatella vaccines.  Cats must be current on FVRCP, and Rabies vaccines.  If we did not administer your pet's vaccines we require written confirmation (FAX or certificate) from your veterinarian.

Diet Instructions:  We normally feed Eukanuba low-residue pet food.  If you prefer to have us feed your pet's usual food, you must bring the food pre-bagged and pre-measured  for each feeding.  We will feed your pet as you instruct us.  Instructions will be reviewed with the Animal Caretaker at time of check-in.

Medication:  There is a fee of $1.75 per day for once a day medications, $2.75 per day for twice a day, and $3.75 per day for dosing three times a day for up to 2 medications.  More than two medications are charged at an additional $0.50 per medication per dosing.  Instructions on name of medication, amount to be given, and dosing schedule will be reviewed with the Animal Caretakers at time of check-in.  Health issues or concerns will be discussed and noted at time of check-in.

Grooming:  Pets boarding with us can be conveniently groomed prior to pick-up.  Instructions for this service will be discussed and an appointment confirmed with the Animal Caretakers at time of check-in.

Exercise:  Dogs are routinely taken to the outdoor pens two to three times a day.  Other pets are not routinely taken outside their cages.  We are happy to provide special time for your pets with one of our loving caretakers.  This VIP Care provides one-on-one time for longer walks, play time, or brushing.  The cost is $5.00 for 10 minutes per day or $8.50 for two 10-minute sessions per day.  Additional pets are half the price.  Instructions for this service will be reviewed with Animal Caretakers at time of check-in.

Veterinary Care:  Our Animal Caretakers are trained to watch for problems with your pets.  If problems are discovered we will call you to see if you would like our Veterinary Staff to address them while your pet is lodging here.  Estimates of costs beyond the exam will be provided before services are rendered unless specifically refused.  The one exception to this rule is the presence of either fleas, ticks, or obvious intestinal parasites.  Fleas and ticks will be treated with Frontline at a cost of $10 per application.  Obvious intestinal parasites will be treated with Drontal at our usual deworming charge.
pawline
Birds, Reptiles and Small Mammals:  We do board birds, reptiles and small mammals in their own separate area.   We do not have cages appropriate for these animals.  You must bring their own cage, food and any supplements or vitamins that they may need.  VIP care is also available for these pets.
pawline
Cancellations:  We require prepayment during our peak season schedule to hold your boarding reservation.  We will refund your deposit if we recieve written confirmation seven (7) days prior to your scheduled date of drop-off.  If we do not recieve written confirmation seven (7) days prior, you will forfeit the enitre amount.
