I've been a veterinary technician for 9 years. Emergency and critical care are my specialty, but I've recently reduced my clinic hours and moved to routine surgery and preventative medicine. As our business grows, I will continue to reduce my clinic hours! We care for your kiddos with the same expectations we would have for our own. With almost 2 acres fenced, we are able to have lots of exercise. We do have a section that is all 6 foot privacy fencing, so please let us know if your pet is a jumper so we can be sure to use that instead of our 4.5 foot fenced area. Both sections are ample space for a good game of fetch or tag. We do utilize kennels when we have to be away, and for bedtime. Our kennels are 5x5 indoor runs, perfect for large dogs or families with multiple dogs! I am Fear Free certified. In a clinic setting, this is used with a combination of high value reward, touch gradient & sometimes paired with anxiety medications. For boarding, we provide quiet places for pets to decompress, comfort items from home, and calming music to soothe. Our dogs are vaccinated against rabies, DAPP, leptospirosis & bordatella. They are kept on monthly preventative year round to keep fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites away. Boarders are required to have a rabies vaccine - DAPP, leptospirosis & bordatella are recommended. We sanitize daily with Rescue, it is a high strength, pet friendly cleaner. We do board for multiple families. We take into consideration friendliness of each pet and take all necessary precautions to keep everyone safe. Playtime with our own dogs is at my discretion. I never expect all dogs to automatically be friends, though each of our dogs is very friendly. It is ideal for pets' to stay on their own food to prevent upset stomachs, but we can provide meals for an additional $6/day. Please let us know of any allergies. Pick up & drop off times MUST be scheduled in a 30 minute time block, and that time needs to be respected. Please understand that while we absolutely love having your pets, we are also raising our family from the same home. Any changes to your pick up/drop off need to be made with 24 hour notice, and we will do our best to accommodate.
