How Boarding Charges Are Calculated at Barnside

Full-Day boarding is per 24 hour stay. Anything beyond, but less than 12 hours, is considered an additional Same-Day charge.

Ex 1a) If you drop-off at 11a Friday, you have until 11a Saturday to pick-up. This is a one-day charge.
Ex 1b) If you drop-off at 11a Friday, and pick-up at 2pm on Saturday, you will be charged one Full-Day and one Same-Day charge.
Ex 2a) If you drop-off at 4pm Friday, you have until 4pm Monday to pick-up. This would be three Full-Day charges.
Ex 2b) If you drop-off at 4pm Friday, and pick-up at 7pm on Monday, you will be charged three Full-Day charges and one Same-Day charge.

Medication and Supplement Policy

How are medications administered?
Our Pet-Care Assistants give all the oral medications. If you bring some canned food or other similar pilling treat, we will try to just feed your pet the medication. If they will not eat the medicated treat immediately, we will "pill them." The Technician and Technician Assistants give insulin, SQ fluids or other injections.

How are medications charged for?
Each medication is charged for, each time it is given. So if your pet is on two heart medications, 3 times day- that's 6 charges each day. Yes, this can add up, but sicker animals, on multiple medications, require more attention and care. Vitamins and joint supplements are charged the same as other medications.

What are the charges for administering medications and supplements?
Injectable--$7 per injection
Oral or Other--$3.00 per dose

Why can't I just include the medication in with his food?
Medication degrades, dissolves and can be ineffective if sitting in food (even a bag of dry food.) Animals don't always eat all their food or at the time their medication is to be given. We can't tell if your pet received all its medication or when.

How should I leave instructions for medications?
* Do not pre-cut the pills. (By law, each pill has a code to help with identification.)
* Each medication needs to be in its own (preferably original) container.
* If current directions are different from the pill-vial label, let us know.
* Each medication needs to be labeled: Drug (ex: methimazole, phenobarbital), Strength (ex: 50mg; 0.4mg) and Quantity (ex: 20 pills).
* Each medication should have instructions such as: "1&1/2 tablets twice a day (5a & 5p)"--this is a much different instruction than, "3 tablets once a day at 5a." Yes, either way the pet would get 3 tablets in 24hrs, but how & when medication is given is critical too.

No Medication In Food Policy

If any medications and/or supplements are pre-mixed with your pet's food they will be removed and adminstered separately according to the Medications and Supplements policy that was explained on the previous page.  There will be a $3.00 charge per medication/supplement per dose.

Feeding Policy for Boarding Pets

What are my animals fed?
We provide Science Diet Sensitive Stomach/Sensitive Skin dry dog and cat food. We feed an appropriate amount based on your pet's size. Your pet can be fed once or twice a day, or we can leave food out all day. Fresh water is always available.

Can I bring my own food?
Of course! Any non-canned food from home must be pre-portioned and individually bagged. The bags should be labeled, "Monday 6a," "Monday 6p," etc.

If the food you are bringing requires refrigeration, and your pet will be staying with us for more than 3 days, please bring the rest frozen.

We strongly recommend bringing an extra day or two of food in-case your return is delayed. If your return is delayed and you have not left enough extra meals, we will feed your pet Science Diet Sensitive Stomach/Sensitive Skin dry dog or cat food as appropriate.

Although most pets are quite content when boarding with us, we can't make them eat all of their food. Canned or refrigerated food will be thrown out if uneaten after two hours. Uneaten dry kibble will thrown out prior to the next feeding.

Should I bring my own bowls?
​If your pet uses a raised bowl rack, or special bowls designed to slow eating speed, please bring your own. Generally though it's not necessary. We have various sizes of stainless steel food and water bowls that are cleaned and sanitized after each meal. Please no ceramic, crockery or otherwise breakable bowls.
