Our clean, modern boarding facility is a matter of pride for us. We offer separate dog, cat and exotic wards and all dogs are exercised multiple times daily. We feed and recommend Hill's Science Diet to all boarders unless you choose to bring your pet's own food. You may also bring personal items such as toys or bedding, however, we do provide each dog kennel with a blanket and/or a Pet Cot to provide a comfortable area off the floor. Remember that any toys or bedding brought in may be torn or destroyed so favorite toys are not suggested.
Hours: Monday - Friday 7:45am to 5:30pm; Saturday 8:00am to 12 noon and 2pm to 5:30pm; Sunday 3:30pm to 5:30pm
Reservations are required to board your pets and charges are incurred for each calender day (similar to a hotel). Monday through Saturday checkout time is 12:00 noon. We do offer Sunday prearranged drop offs and pickups between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm, however there will be an automatic charge for Sunday.
For the health of your pet, current immunizations are required for all dogs and cats before they can enter the boarding facility. Dogs and Cats must be at least 17 weeks old and received the required puppy/kitten vaccine series from a licensed veterinarian. Proof of current vaccines must be presented before a reservation can be made. The following vaccines are required for dogs and cats:
Vaccines required for dogs:
- Parvo: must have been given in series as a puppy and current within last 3 years
- Distemper: must have been given in series as a puppy and current within last 3 years
- Adenovirus: must have been given in series as a puppy and current within last 3 years
- Parainfluenza: must have been given in series as a puppy and current within last 3 years
- Rabies: Required within last 3 years. 1 or 2 year rabies vaccine also accepted
- Kennel Cough or Infectious Tracheobronchitis vaccine: Intranasal combination of bordetella, bronchoseptic, parainfluenza and adenovirus is preferred and needs to be current within last 6 months. We will honor the injectable bordetella vaccine within 1 year throughout 2010. Starting in 2011 all bordetella vaccines need to be within 6 months.
- Canine Influenza: not required at this time but highly recommended.
Vaccines required for cats:
- RCP (Rhinotracheitis, calici, panleukopenia): these must have been given as a kitten series and current within last 3 years.
- Feline Leukemia vaccine: cats must have had a negative feline leukemia test and the vaccines need to have been given as a kitten series. Vaccine must have been given within the last year. If no vaccine was given within the last year, a negative feline leukemia test will be required prior to boarding.
- Rabies: Required within last 3 years. 1 or 2 year rabies vaccine also accepted.
Is your pet current? If your pet is overdue by less than 30 days, we will boost vaccinations while boarding. If the bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine is overdue only the injectable bordetella vaccine can be given while your dog is in boarding. Any pet that is more than 30 days overdue will be required to have the vaccinations updated prior to boarding.
We do offer bath/brush for our boarding pets. If you would like this service done please make arrangements at time of check in. Bath/brush is at an additional charge.
Since our boarding facility is operated in conjunction with the veterinary hospital, prearranged veterinary examinations and services can be scheduled while your pet is at the lodge. Another added benefit is that your pet is closely monitored by our trained staff and if any unusual health condition is detected it will be brought to the immediate attention of one of our veterinarians.
As a facility which has met the exacting standards of the American Animal Hospital Association we are confident your pet will find its stay with us very much to his/her liking! We welcome you to tour our facilities at any time. Please browse through the Virtual Tour section of this website for pictures of the lodge.
