WEEKEND AVAILABILITY UPDATE:
We are currently booking into July 12th-14th! 🫣

We had a request this morning and filled our last available room for the July 5th weekend, and the month of June is COMPLETELY full!

As always, we encourage clients to book ahead of time for any possible weekend or long term holiday bookings knowing that we have a 48 hour cancellation policy! So it’s always better to book “just in case” and cancel a couple days ahead, penalty free, than book last minute and not have a spot!

Kennel Cough and what you need to know! 🐾🐩❗️

What is kennel cough in dogs? 🤔
Kennel cough is one of the most common acute respiratory diseases in dogs. Kennel cough causes tracheal and bronchial inflammation, and affects dogs of any breed, age, etc!

❔What are kennel cough signs in dogs?
* If your dog has kennel cough, they may sound like they are hacking up a hair ball, or make a funny “honking” like noise. It may even sound like they have something stuck in their throat! Kennel cough signs can also include sneezing or nasal discharge—like a “doggie cold.” 🤧

❔How do dogs catch kennel cough?
* Kennel cough is extremely contagious, and your dog can become infected after exposure to a sick dog, or from contact with contaminated surfaces or people. Dogs often pick up kennel cough from boarding and day-care facilities, dog parks, or other common canine gathering areas. 🐕🐾

❔How is kennel cough in dogs treated? •Dogs with mild kennel cough can eventually recover on their own, but dogs who are coughing excessively, or cannot sleep comfortably, may need a cough suppressant. Most kennel cough infections resolve in one to three weeks 🤒

⁉️How can YOU help keep your dog safe from kennel cough?

* 💉Vaccination — Vaccinate your dog for bacteria and viruses that cause kennel cough. Unfortunately, vaccines cannot protect against all disease-causing agents, and the length of immunity can be variable.
* 🚫Mitigate risk — Avoid day-care and boarding facilities, and dog parks that do not require vaccinations.
* 🧼Hygiene — Wash your hands thoroughly and change your clothing before petting your dog after being around a coughing dog.
* ⛔️No sharing — Never let your dog share bedding, bowls, or a kennel with a sick dog.

⁉️ What are WE doing to help keep your pups safe from kennel cough?

🧼 Sanitizing - this time of year we up our cleaning game with regular washing and sanitizing of toys & ropes as well as community play areas like our playroom
💉 Vaccinations - we have always held a policy requiring all dogs in our care to have up to date vaccines, and proof of such vaccines on file prior to arrival
❓ Screening - this time of year we often ask when scheduling your pups arrival if there any signs or symptoms of kennel cough present in your dog to avoid having dogs in our facility that are symptomatic!

It’s not perfect, but it’s our best effort to provide a safe, clean, healthy and fun environment for your fur baby!

Meet the Team Monday! 🐾

Meet Lexie!
Lexie is a grade 11 student from Arcola and has been a part of the dog lodge team since October of 2023! Lexie is an awesome team member with attention to detail for each pup and their needs. She may seem quiet and soft spoken, which is a cherished attribute with the pups! But she is a more than capable young woman and we’re thankful to work with her!

When I asked Lexie what she wanted to share about herself she said “I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My favorite part of working at the dog lodge is being surrounded by the playful energy of the dogs, which brings me joy and fulfillment each day”.
Thanks for all you do, Lexie! ♥️

Snow Update!

Our family had a BIG day yesterday trying to get ahead of all the snow we got over the weekend - and we were about 40% finished! And then we woke up this morning to MORE snow. Unfortunately this means our facility will be functioning at a limited capacity until we get snow cleared OR it melts - whichever comes first! Please text us to inquire about availability between now and Monday as this will be assessed daily! For those who are interested, some of the things we take into consideration to determine capacity is: • the number of outdoor runs dogs can access - right now we can only have about 6 dog doors open out of 23 possible rooms because the snow has built up 6 inches in those areas! We want pups to be able to go out as often as is needed so we only book rooms that are accessible! • outdoor play space! Sometimes even if their individual outside space is limited but we have lots of outdoor play space, we can accommodate more. Right now our outdoor play space is under 50% accessible and safe for dogs • number of dogs, socialization of said dogs, and amount of indoor play space! We take pride in knowing what pups can play & socialize, what pups need their personal space and the amount of time it takes to adequately care for and love on each pup! we will only booking up our facility to a capacity that gives your pup exactly what it needs! We thank you for understanding and bearing with us as we work tirelessly to get back to functioning at 100% Happy snow days in Saskatchewan!! From Brett, Nicole, Theo and Pax and the whole Dog Lodge Staff

Snow Days

Snow days at The Dog Lodge are a little more fun than snow days anywhere else! We are doing our best to keep on top of the snow coming in - both for our pups and their people as you come and go! Stay warm and enjoy the snow!!!
