Boarding Guide
The safety and happiness of all dogs in our facility is of the utmost importance, hence our requirement for an evaluation and our rules and policies. Dogs are sentient beings that deserve to be treated with love and consideration of their mental state. Dog’s behavior can change as things in their home life change, as they age, medical status, experiences on walks or the dog park, etc. We are always observant of possible changes and will keep owners updated.
Health
1. Per Michigan law, we will need to see a current rabies record. For dogs under six months, we require a negative fecal test result to rule out Coccidia and Giardia and intestinal parasites.
2. DO NOT get a Bordatella vaccine within 7 days of drop-off. Your dog may be contagious during that time. We do not require your dog to have the Bordatella vaccine.
3. Make sure your dog is up-to-date on flea
& tick prevention year round. Please let us know what brand/product you are using. We welcome holistic prevention methods, but please do not use unapproved old-style flea collars or Frontline flea/tick preventatives (the ingredient Fipronil is no longer effective).
4. We accept vet exceptions for the Rabies vaccine, and we also accept titers.
Meds-Supplements
Owners are responsible for providing Pill Pockets or a similar brand, for all medications. This is the safest and most sanitary way for us to ensure dogs get their pills on time. We do not allow cheese, peanut butter, or others.
*Important: Please pack all supplements and meds in the corresponding food baggie and label them accordingly. If you are unsure how to correctly set up meds and supplements, please give us a call.
Food
Please package each meal into an individual baggie or container so that any staff member can quickly and correctly feed all of the hungry pups after a long day of playing.
If your dog is a free feeder, provide one large bag/container that we can place in their kennel overnight. Do not send more than you think he/she will eat during their stay, as we have limited storage space.
...............................................................
If you want your bags/containers returned to you, please let us know and label them accordingly. We will make every effort to ensure they are returned!
Keep in mind that the dogs are more active at the resort and may require a bit more food than usual! However, many dogs do not like changes in their routine and may eat less when staying away from home. Don't be alarmed, this is normal!
Holistic Care
It's important to us to care for your pet as a whole, making sure they are happy and healthy both physically and mentally. We take a holistic approach to wellness with plenty of exercise and lots of attention based on your pet's individual needs.
