Hi folks, just a few gentle reminders for any boarding coming up - Please can you make sure:

✅ Vaccination cards are brought in on arrival
✅ Kennel cough must be administered a minimum of 2 weeks prior to boarding (If there is not at least 2 weeks since your vaccination, you will not be able to board)
✅ Leave dogs in your car on arrival so we can check you in and check vaccinations before they are let out

Please read through your confirmation emails and check all details are correct, this is sent on booking and 21 days before your stay!

Final reminder- Drop off and pick up times are strictly between 10am and 1pm!

Thanks all 🐶🐶
Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous weather! 😎

EXCITING visit from the local fire department today 🧑‍🚒🔥 💧 🚒
