Dog Housing 

The boarding facility offers spacious climate controlled living for your loved one. We have (10) 8×4 kennels for small and medium breed dogs and (2) 8×6 kennels for large breed dogs. The larger kennels can also house multiple pets for owners that want to leave their pets together, giving them the peace of mind that your loved one is comfortable while away. Each kennel is supplied with Kuranda beds for the comfort of your pet.  We have two large exercise areas for dogs to run around and play multiple times each day.  Intact pets are not allowed to board.  If your pet does not meet our standards for boarding then we reserve the right to no longer board your pet.

Pet Requirements

In order to board your pet, proof of current vaccination and parasite prevention are required prior to admission to the facility.

  • Dog: Rabies, Bordetella and Annual DHAPP vaccine.
  • Cat: Rabies, Annual FVRCP vaccine.

In order to prevent parasite outbreaks at the boarding facility, your pet must be free of FLEAS, TICKS AND INTERNAL PARASITES.

If your pet requires medical treatment while boarding, please bring the items with you. 

Medication must be labeled with the prescribing VETERINARIAN’S PRESCRIPTION. There is a fee (starting 1/2024) for daily administration of any medication to boarders.

We do not provide towels or blankets for your pet. Kuranda beds are provided for the comfort of you four legged friend. If you would like to bring your pet’s personal bedding, toys or bowls please have it labeled with a permanent marker.
