Common items are beds, blankets, rugs, stuffed animals, chew toys, bones, etc. Please no tennis balls - too easy to roll down to the drains. Everyone is asked, using an 8 oz. measuring cup, how much do you want us to feed your dog. We feed two meals each day, your food brought in or our food. Be sure to bring any medications your pet will need. There is no charge to give medications. We may ask you to bring your latest vet papers so we can update our records for vaccinations. Rate: $27.00 per dog per calendar day. Day Care Daycare is any dog arriving and departing the same day. These dogs are incorporated into the regular boarding community, play groups, yard time, etc. We generally do not feed the Daycare dogs because they usually stay on their home schedule. Puppies still being fed 3 times a day will obviously be fed at noonish. Day Care Rate is $15.00 per dog; In and out the same day anytime between 8 am - noon or 3 pm - 5 pm. Boarding - Cats Cats have their own room with large walk-in units each having several benches up the walls for climbing. Again, your own things or ours. Whatever makes you most comfortable in leaving your pets with us is fine. You may bring your own food although we feed a very high quality diet of canned food with dry kibble available. Recent studies indicate that a diet of just dry kibble leads to a lot of health issues with cats primarily due to their low drink drive. We now feed two meals of wet (canned) food. Rate: $18.00 per cat per calendar day. Bathing We bathe dogs for you whether they are staying with us or brought in. Please call for an appointment if you are not boarding otherwise just ask for a bath when you make your reservation or when you drop off.

Cats - Rabies and Distemper Visitors are always welcome. We love to show people around and talk dogs. You may stop by anytime during our posted hours. We do not recommend visiting on Sunday afternoon, if possible, as it can be very busy with dogs being picked up. We apologize in advance but people dropping off or picking up their pets will be taken care of first. For more information visit our website: www.....com and check us out on Facebook!
