How Much Does Boarding Cost?
Answer
Boarding is $35/day per dog. If you drop off after 5pm then that day is not counted toward your stay. If you pickup before 9am, that day is not counted toward your stay.
What Are Your Hours?
Answer
Pickups, drop-offs, or meet-and-greets are by appointment only. Please communicate with me when you plan on arriving. I am available for scheduled arrivals Monday - Saturday from 7am - 7pm. Sundays I am only available from 2pm - 7pm.
Where are you located?
Answer
Jeffersonville, Indiana. Just over the river from East End Louisville and Prospect, KY!
What Do I Need to Bring for My Dog's Stay?
Answer
Keep it simple! I have bedding, dog cots, bowls, water buckets, and toys already on hand for guests. So really, all you need is your dog's kibble, a measuring scoop, leash, collar with ID, training collars (if applicable) and any medications they dog may be on. If you prefer to use the kibble I have on hand instead of bringing your own, it's an additional $1/day/dog. I feel Purina Dog Chow Complete Adult.
What Vaccinations are Needed?
Answer
I will need up to date vet records at least 2 weeks prior to your scheduled boarding visit. Vet records I am looking for include: - Bordetella vaccination (Kennel Cough) within the past 6 months - DHLPP vaccination (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus) - Leptospirosis (Lepto) fully vaccinated - Negative heartworm test result - Flea/tick/heartworm prevention - Proof of current rabies - Negative fecal test (GIARDIA, OVA, and PARASITES) within 90 days of your scheduled drop-off
How Often will My Dog be Let Out?
Answer
Dogs are pottied 4 times a day. Potty breaks are offered first thing in the morning, at lunchtime, at dinner time, then once more before bedtime. When you book your dog's stay, you have the option to add-on additional activities such as one-on-one playtime or walks.
Will My Dog Interact with Other Dogs?
Answer
Not necessarily. I'll only let dogs out together if they are indeed well matched for each other's play style, temperament, and size. If not, I will rotate who is outside at a given time so everyone is comfortable. Do let me know when you book if you have any preferences for group play time.
