Boarding Services

We know and empathize that choosing a kennel for your dog is a difficult decision. With that in mind, our goal is to ensure that your dog has as much fun with us as you do while you’re on your trip. We customize your dog’s boarding experience to his/her individual needs. If your dog prefers to be the only one outside, we’ll make sure they have their needs met. If your dog is more sociable, we offer supervised play groups.

Bathing & Brushing

We also offer bathing, brushing and nail trimming upon request. Fees are determined by breed and coat condition. There is not a groomer on staff.

Daycare

It can be challenging to handle the needs of a younger, more energetic pet while also working a normal day job. We offer multiple playgroup sessions throughout the day and feeding services during the day to ensure your pet gets the care it needs. We are not currently accepting new daycare dogs.

Medical Handling

Because we are also a veterinary practice we can accommodate to medical conditions. If your pet requires special handling due to a medical condition, we are happy to provide that additional attention, whether it is administering insulin to your diabetic pet or a condition that requires more complex treatment.

Senior Boarding Care

Senior pets require special attention. For these pets we can provide special anti-slip mats and senior cots to relieve some of the pain associated with arthritis in the hip and joints. Many senior pets are also administered medication. Fees depending on requested services.

Special Diets

Included in our boarding experience we offer a complimentary diet. If your pet has a special diet from home, we would be happy to prepare them this meal, however there is an additional service fee. We do not accept raw/ freeze dried diets for health and safety concerns.

Kitty Playtimes

Playtimes are available for cats, so they are able to stretch and explore. This can be important for younger felines who are more social and eager to exercise.
