5. Do you have indoor outdoor runs?

We do not have the combination style indoor / outdoor runs. Our guests are taken outside 4 times daily allowing personal interaction between the caregiver and your pet.

5. Can we visit your facility prior to our pet's stay?

Yes we actually strongly recommend that you and your pet come for a visit. It's a great time for all to meet and discuss any specific needs for your pet.

Our tour times are:

Saturday & Sunday
9 am to 10 am
1 pm to 3 pm

 

6. What is the daily routine for my pet?

This would be a typical day in the winter. Summer allows for much more time being spent outside as well as pool time :)

Our day at the kennel starts at 7:00 A.M. Our guests are brought outside individually to do their business. Breakfast is prepared and served. General housekeeping duties are taken care of while our guests watch a little morning TV.

At approximately 11:00 A.M. our guests are accompanied to the excercise area, again individually for play time. Play time length can vary depending on conditions such as weather (summer, winter), your pet's preference or if there are any physical restrictions that you may have informed us of.

At approximately 1:00 P.M. it is quiet time. Our guests enjoy treats and relax.

Between 4:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. supper is prepared and served after which the guests are out again for their business. Once back in they watch TV as the caregiver once more does housekeeping duties. Time is also spent with the guests for hugs and pats.

At around 9:00 P.M. it's time to get tucked in and once more they are accompanied outside for their business. Everyone gets hugs and kisses and of course biscuits for a snack before bed.

Lights are out by about 10:00 P.M. with the radio playing quietly in the background. Night lights are on, the security system is activated. It's good night to all till we do it all over again in the morning.

Note: We live on the same property as the kennel. The security system is for additional safety of our guests which allows us (the proprietors and caregivers) peace of mind.

7. Do you provide grooming or obedience training?

No we do not provide these services at this time.

8. Should I bring anything for my pet's stay?

We always suggest that you bring toys, blankets or other items that your pet may be fond of. If your pet will be just staying overnight or has a specific dietary food we suggest that you bring the required amount for their stay plus an added meal or two.

9. What about dogs with special needs like medication or physical ailments?

Oral medication which is supplied is administered at no extra charge. In the case that a pets activities are restricted due to a physical ailment it is discussed when your pet arrives for their stay. Restrictions are added to their computerized file for easy reference by the caregiver.
