We require vet documentation showing:
  • Rabies vaccination

  • Leptospirosis Vaccine within 1 year highly suggested but not mandatory
Vaccines have to be administered a minimum of 7 (seven) days prior to boarding. There will be a forfeiture of your deposit if they are unmet. Due to the nature of vaccinations and the potential for "vaccination failure" (damage to vaccine, improper administration, improper storage, eg.) we are not able to accept dogs that have received vaccines or deworming NOT administered by pet care professionals.
Yes, due to the social interactions typical at the Dog Bed & Breakfast, all dogs must be spayed or neutered (7 months or older)
Yes, to ensure a safe atmosphere for all guests we have the following policies:
  • Dogs with a history of biting/fighting will not be allowed.
  • ALL "aggressive" breed dogs MUST first have a temperament of no fewer than 6 hours.
  • Dogs displaying aggressive tendencies (not including play fighting, playful biting) will be separated and excluded from social interactions with other dogs. There is always the possibility the owner may be called to come pick up his/her dog.

Out of town dogs who are unable to have a temperament test before boarding or daycare must have a letter from a daycare center stating the acceptability of the dog.
