Good Saturday morning!!!!
Boarding season is upon us and I just want to put out a couple reminders, updates, changes, etc!
Boarding for the summer of 2025 is filling up
quick! Please make sure your pet is current on all vaccines at least 1 week before their stay, they will need a bordetella, 5-way/parvo booster and rabies, some vets recommend getting a bordetella vaccine every 6 months and this is a great idea for pets that get boarded to help keep kennel cough away so please ask your vet what they recommend!!!!
During peak season we run a very tight boarding schedule for the pups in our care so that everyday the pups are with us, they get plenty of daycare time, outside playtime, And exercise, as well as the staff has plenty of time to clean, disinfect, sanitize, indoors and outdoors, feed, water, etc. with this being said on the days the grooming salon is closed which is Saturday, Sunday, Monday, we will have pick up/drop off times for those days. If you need to pick -up/drop off your pet on one of those days the hours for that will be 7-8am and 7-8pm. In the past we have just done it by appointment, however, it interferes with the pups scheduled so to prevent that these will be the only times available for pick -up/ drop off on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday! If you are picking up in the pm you will incur a daycare fee for the care provided on pick up day!
We will be collecting boarding fees at drop off effective immediately. If that is not going to work for you please let me know immediately as I need to make special arrangements, the reason for this change is because sometimes my teenage children or husband will assist with you getting your pets at pick up and they do not know a thing a bout our software lol. Also saves time for the staff on pick up day because if we run your card that day we have to run our reports, close out the day, reconcile,etc. it’s a lot for just a few payments so its just best if we collect at drop off when the grooming salon is open and we already have to do a bunch of closing paperwork lol!
If you are planning vacation and have not booked your pets stay now is the time!!!!!
Have a great rest of your day!!!!
Much love!!
