Frequently Asked Questions

What if my dog is boarding and not in a playgroup?

That’s totally fine, they will get one on one attention from one of our attendants. The attendant will take the time to learn what your pet enjoys doing. This activity can range from a daily massage, cuddles, story time, playing ball, or outdoor play time.

What if my pet requires daily medications?

No problem. Our skilled staff can administer medication as needed. Pets taking insulin, requiring 3 or more medications will be required to be in our specialized care program.

What if my pet is elderly?

Elderly pets receive additional attention. We ensure that all senior pets have extra bedding and a rubber floor mat in their lodge to help with traction. Some seniors may be required to be on our specialized care program. This is an additional $10 per night.

Do you offer training packages?

At this time we do not offer any training.

Do I have to schedule an appointment?

Yes, we require appointments for all services. We do not allow walk-ins.
