CAGE FREE BOARDING SERVICES ARE IDEAL FOR:

• Active and high energy dogs.
• Puppies and young dogs.
• Dogs who have never been crated, or do not tolerate being crated.
• Dogs you wish to spoil while you’re away.
• Dogs who suffer from separation anxiety and cannot stay alone.

FEEDING

• We prefer that you bring the food that your dog is used to eating so that your pet remains on his or her familiar diet. This helps to prevent stomach irritation that can result when changing the brands of food. If you feel that your dog will be fine with a brand switch and do not bring your own food we will feed your dog REGAL Adult Turkey and Rice dry food. This is a carefully selected all natural premium dog food that contains no animal by-products.
• The dogs are fed separately in individual feeding stations, as many times per day as owner’s request.
• We fill out report cards each time we feed your dog for feedback and accuracy.

CAGE FREE BOARDING F.A.Q.’S:

Q: What happens at night?

A: Staff stay on a cot in the playroom with the dogs. Some dogs cuddle up to the staff member on the cot, others sleep on the futons and dog beds or in a open crate. Everyone has a cozy blanket to stay warm. Our overnight supervisor, Gloria, is there every night giving love, massages, and monitoring the dogs for possible health issues, and just encouraging rest. They usually watch TV for a while before bedtime. They get taken out before going to sleep around 10-11 p.m. and as soon as they wake up around 6-7 a.m. If someone gets up in the night and asks to go out, we will take that dog out.

Q: Can I request that my dog be crated at night and during nap-time to maintain his crate training?

A: Yes, just let us know when you drop him off and we will crate them as requested. We will not crate your dog, unless we have special instructions to do so.

Q: Can I bring my dog’s bed, toys, and treats for my dog?

A: Yes, however, please understand that all other dogs will have access to those belongings therefore we can not guarantee that you will get them back. Beds, toys, and treats are provided, so we prefer that your dog use what we provide.
