CHECKING IN?
*ALL BOARDERS MUST BE CURRENT ON VACCINES OR HAVE A POSITIVE TITER.
If you use a veterinary hospital other than ours, vaccination history needs to be supplied to us prior to the day of boarding. Please have your veterinary office fax your pet's vaccine history to us at 614-885-5258.
If your pet is in need of vaccinations we will be happy to schedule an appointment with the veterinarian for you prior to the boarding reservation.
Required vaccines for dogs:
Distemper/Parvo/Corona
Bordetella
Rabies
Recommendations for dogs:
Recent negative fecal test
Recent flea preventative/application
Required vaccines for cats:
Rabies
Feline Distemper/upper respiratory
While the feline leukemia vaccine is not required for boarding purposes, we strongly advise keeping your pet current on this vaccine as well.
Indoor/outdoor cats are highly susceptible to contracting this disease.
NO FLEAS PLEASE!
For the health and safety of your pet and others, all boarding animals are checked for external parasites (fleas/ticks).
If parasites are found on your pet, we will treat your pet prior to placing them in the kennel area. The treatment cost will be added to your final bill.
Prices vary depending on weight and animal type.
SPECIAL NEEDS:
We will be happy to care for most special needs animals at no extra cost to you. If, however, your pet has a medical problem that requires close monitoring (diabetics, multiple medications, bandage changes, etc.) there will be an additional charge. It is important to inform the staff about any medial conditions unknown to us such as seizures, neuropathies, or recent surgeries. Please advise our staff prior to drop off of your pet's needs if possible. We will do our best to let you know
in advance of any additional charges.
Please note: If your pet has a contagious illness such as kennel cough or other upper respiratory infections, we will not be able to board them in our kennel area until they have a clean bill of health or are no longer contagious. Hospitalization may be necessary.
*This way to your room:
CATS: Our Cat Condos are very cozy!!! The cats enjoy a large personal condo equipped with a litter pan, bedding, food/water dishes and plenty of toys!
We give each cat individual time to sit in the window and gaze, or just hang out on our cat tree. Only same family cats are allowed out of the condo at the same time.
Our cat room is cleaned twice daily. Litter pans are cleaned more often if necessary. *Same family cats can be boarded together. The daily charge for boarding is per cat, not per condo.
DOGS:
Our kennels have to two separate compartments for sleeping and elimination. The dogs are free to move from one section to the other.
During cleaning we close off the sleeping quarter in order to clean the run area. This is done two to three times daily, depending on your dog's bathroom habits.
Our large dog kennels are 16 feet in length (sleeping quarters: 4 X 4; runs: 4X12.) Our medium to small dog kennels are 9 feet in length (sleeping quarters: 3X3; run: 3X6).
Our kennel facility is fully heated in the colder months and air conditioned for those hot summer days. Our kennels are indoor only, but the pets are walked outside on lead at least three times daily, temperament permitting. Kennels are equipped with bedding, food/water dishes, and toys. We monitor all of the dogs very carefully.
For those precious pups that like to eat the bedding instead of sleep on it, we pull all bedding immediately.
*PLEASE NOTE: We do put the safety of our staff and all boarding animals above all else. If your dog shows signs of aggression, we will not put our staff at risk. You're pet may receive limited walks due to his/her temperament.
Rabbits and Pocket Pets:
Yes! We board them! We will board your pocket pets (hamsters, gerbils, etc) in the cage you provide. We will also board your rabbit in the cage you provide or in a condo we have here.
You are responsible for bringing all food, hay, and vegetables for your rabbit or pocket pet.
Discounts: Dogs from the same household may be boarded in the same kennel. The dogs must be able to share a space without argument. A 10% discount will be applied to your boarding bill.
No more than 3 small dogs are able to board together at one time. This discount does not apply to cats or rabbits.
