Frequently asked questions
What is the nightly boarding rate?
Boarding fees start at $50.00 per day plus tax. If you have multiple dogs or dogs with health problems requiring medicine, contact the facility for pricing.
What should I bring when boarding my dog?
You can bring treats that are safe for your dog, or the facility will provide dog-safe treats at snack time. Some owners prefer to bring their own food, which is fine, or the facility can furnish food. Personal items are not recommended as the facility is not responsible for items that may get destroyed or lost.
How are dogs exercised and socialized during boarding?
Dogs are exercised daily in a safe fenced area. If your dog enjoys playing with others, the facility matches compatible personalities for group play. Dogs that prefer individual time are let out separately in their own area. Kennel runs have heated floors in winter and thick rubber mats, plus cots for resting.
