Well, what depends – does he like a soft, cushy dog bed, or does he prefer to sleep curled under an armchair? When he stays with us, he’s one of our own, so our house is his.
We’re often asked if dogs spend time in cages or crates while there are here, and the easy answer is no.
While we don’t normally keep a crate in the house, if a client requests that their dog sleep in a crate at night, we’re not opposed to it. We understand that some dogs are used to sleeping in a crate and find it comforting, so we’re open to simulating whatever environment your dog is most comfortable in.
Definitely! Our overnight guests are carefully screened. Each new boarding client must do one night of trial boarding, so we can assess behaviour, anxiety levels and their general comfort in our home. Overnight dogs must also be up to date on vaccinations, be free of any communicable disease and friendly towards dogs, people and children.
For the safety of our dogs and our doggie clients, we reserve the right to turn down any current or potential boarders that do not meet our basic boarding requirements.
Absolutely not! Although we do not give insulin shots, we are happy to administer other medications to your dog while they stay with us at no extra cost.
Of course! We’re happy to feed your dog his special diet while he stays with us, whether that means raw food, food from your vet, or home cooked food you have provided for his stay.
The comforts of home. A favourite dog bed, or and old t-shirt of yours he loves. Anything to remind him of home and help him be comfortable while staying with us.
We will also need dog food for the length of your dogs’s stay, and any medications or special food your dog requires.
If your dog has stayed with us before, try to book at least a week in advance for non-holiday periods, and at least a month in advance for holidays. During the Christmas period, we are especially busy and our spots fill up a month or two in advance.
If you dog has never stayed with us, please give plenty of time for a night of trial boarding, and keep in mind that we are very busy during holiday periods.
The first step is booking a complementary meeting with us.
During our meeting, we will:
After our initial meet ‘n greet, we will send your login details to our online pet care system so you can make schedule changes yourself and keep an eye on what your pooch is up to in the park.
Then, all you have to do is lean back and reap the benefits of a socialized and well-exercised friend!
