Pet Boarding

We offer the highest quality pet boarding and grooming facilities. Our professionally trained staff provides tender, loving care for your dog, cat, bird, or pocket pet.  All boarding pets are kept in a completely controlled environment and all rooms are heated and air-conditioned. In addition, your pet will be protected against infectious diseases by our compulsory vaccination policy and will be monitored by our staff veterinarians. Your pet will be fed a premium, commercial diet. Additionally, dogs are exercised three times daily in outdoor covered runs. Meanwhile, your pet’s indoor quarters will be scientifically sanitized by our professional staff.

Vaccine and Testing Requirements

Dogs: All dogs entering our facility must be current on the following vaccinations and testing:

  • Rabies
  • DHPPV
  • Bordetella
  • Leptospirosis
  • Influenza
  • Negative fecal sample upon entering performed within the past 6 months
  • If you are new to our practice, a 50% deposit will be required upon check in.

Cats: All cats entering our facility must be current on the following vaccinations and testing:

  • Rabies
  • FVRCP
  • Annual Feline Leukemia Vaccine OR proof of a negative Felv/FIV test.
  • Negative fecal sample upon entering preformed within the past 6 months.
  • If you are new to our practice, a 50% deposit will be required upon check in.

Check-in and Check-out

  • Much like a hotel, we charge for the day a pet enters our facility. We have an 11:00a.m. check-out time.
  • Pets discharged after the 11:00a.m. check-out time are charged for that day unless bathed or groomed that day.

Baths for Boarders

  • We would like to send your pet home with you clean and fresh. We offer a bath at a discounted rate for boarders.
  • If the bath is given on the check-out day, there will not be a boarding charge for that day.
  • If the bath is given on a day other than the check-out day, there will be a charge for the bath and that same day of boarding.
  • Baths are available every day of the week.

Blankets, Toys, etc.

  • We have blankets and towels available for use by your pet.
  • If we keep one of your blankets or towels, it may be misplaced in the laundry, so it must have your name written on it with an indelible pen.
  • Toys also have the possibility of being misplaced.

Diets

  • We provide top quality diets for our kennel friends, but we encourage you to bring your own food.
  • If you choose to supply your own food, please bring only enough for your pet’s stay.
