Where
would my dog sleep?
Wherever they want: the couch, the bed, living room basically
wherever they feel comfortable sleeping. Of course, we are
happy to enforce any "house rules" you have for
your pets (keeping them off the furniture, etc.)
Can I bring them their favorite toys and bed?
Yes, of course. They are allowed to have their special toys,
treats and bed but always make sure to send in their food,
because sudden changes in their diet may cause stomach upset.
Can I come and meet with you
prior to boarding?
Yes! We always recommend that new clients come in with their
pets for an evaluation prior to their stay with us.
Does my dog go for walks? Dog
parks?
Yes, they are walked several times a day, dog parks are also
an option as long as we have the prior consent of owners and
dog behaves well around other dogs.
Are you going to follow my feeding
schedule?
Yes, We always make sure to follow your instructions when
it comes to feeding habits, even if the schedule of other
dogs in our home do not coincide with your dog's schedule.
My dog is a "special
needs pet" , will you consider taking him in?
Pets with special needs are always welcome, however it is
very important to fill out our service agreement form and
always make sure to be very clear about their particular needs.
Are other dogs up to date on
their shots?
Yes, all dog guests must have their shots up to date, but
there may be some exeption
Are you able to administer medication?
Yes. All medication must be labeled with the instructions
from your Vet.
Are you able to administer shots?
Yes, we can administer injections (such as daily insulin shots).
Are you able to perform in case of an emergency?
Yes, we have years of experience caring for dogs, if medical
attention is needed we will take your pet either to his vet
or an emergency veterinary office (if your vet is not available).
Will I be able
to drop off/pick up my dog late in the evening?
Yes, as long as arrangements are made prior to drop off/pick
up.
Can I call in
to find out how my dog is doing?
Yes you may call as many times as you want, We encourage pet
owners to call as often as they feel necessary. We also keep
in touch with clients by test messages.
My dog is an older dog; will he/she be comfortable at your
home?
Yes, We make sure dogs that need a more tranquil surrounding
are kept in a special bedroom in the house or we keep a doggy
gate, so the younger dogs are not bothering them. However
they will interact with the family and the other pet guests
as well, while under our supervision. Older dogs need all
the attention, making them feel loved is a great remedy for
stress.
Do I need to bathe my dog before boarding?
I would rather dogs come in nice and clean, and as always
flea and tick free, we're keeping the dogs in our homes, hygiene
is extremely important to us.
I have a young male dog (not
fixed) will you accept him as your boarder?
We recommend a meeting prior to boarding arrangements; during
that meeting we will observe the dogs behavior:
-is the dog urinating inside the home?
-is the dog showing aggression towards the other dogs?
-is the dog extremely hyper or restless?
We try to accommodate everyone, but a dog that shows signs
of a lack of bladder control, aggression and other negative
behaviors will not be allowed to stay.
Will my dog be caged?
Absolutely not, there are no cages here, however, if you have
a puppy that is being cage trained and you provide the cage,
we will, as always, follow your rules regarding your pet's
care!
