1. Confirm that you have (or will have) proper shot records for your pet.
2. Determine which of our kennel types doggie (or kitty) will stay in.
3. Pick any of our "extras" you want for your pet while boarding.
4. Decide if your pet will eat your food or our standard food.
5. Call, make the reservation, have questions answered.
   

1. Dogs require Rabies/Distemper/Bordatella. Cats require Rabies/Distemper. We need to see documentation that your pet is current on all required shots.

2A. If your dogs are small and are sociable with other small pets, we suggest the Toy Dog Play Room.
Your small dog will run around and play all day and at 8PM he will be put in his own kennel with his evening meal, a blanket and water for the night.

Cost $24/night / pet. No double occupancy.
TOY DOG ROOM: Also see Video below.

2B. The next option (for larger dogs, small dogs who act big, two-pet families, or doggies who just want to be left alone,) is the main kennel. Here, your pet(s) will stay in a 5'x10' indoor kennel, with raised bed, water, heat in winter, music and lots of company. Attached via a doggie door is a 5'x12' outdoor run, accessable in decent weather during the day. Your pet will not come in direct contact with other dogs in the kennel. Cost = $22 per night for 1 dog, $36 for two.

2C. We also have suites and private rooms which can be used for multiple small / large dogs. Please inquire for availability, suitability and price.

2D. Cats have the option of boarding 1 or 2 per cat condo. All condos are in the Cat House which is separate from dog boarding areas and is adjacent to the reception area.

3. Extras: If your pet requires any special accommodations, please inquire, we'll do our best. The standard extras for dogs while boarding are: medication administration, short / medium / long walks, grooming prior to departure, day care (when available, usually Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu), play time outside off leash, swimming (Summer only) and Training-while-Boarding.

4. We suggest that if your pet is sensitive about his/her diet, that you bring your food, as changing the diet while in a somewhat stressful (away from home) situation can cause diarhhea.

5. Call (508) 378-1400 to make a reservation and discuss your pet's needs and how we can make their boarding experience the very best. Other information to have on hand when you call:

The name / phone number of your vet.

The name / phone number of an emergency contact person while you're away. This person must be willing and able to make important decisions regarding your pet's care and health in your absence.

An e-mail address for us to confirm your reservation (if available).

If your pet is very elderly, share with us your desires with respect to extensive medical care in the event of an emergency.

If someone other than yourself will be picking up / dropping off your pet, let us know.

If someone will be visiting or walking your pet while boarding, let us know.

If your pet is VERY nervous during thunderstorms, please advise.

If your pet is allergic to certain foods or has other particular health concerns / habits, let us know.

If your pet requires medication which can be administered by non-vets, please describe the details.

Basically, let us know how we can care for your pets!

WE CANNOT ACCEPT YOUR PET WITHOUT PROOF OF VACCINATIONS.
Also, to avoid disappointment, be advised that
"He went to the vet and has all his shots..."
does not guarantee that your pet is current on his/her Bordetella vaccination.
Your vet does not always give that shot.
Also, having the records on your kitchen table when you check in
is not sufficient, sorry.
Unless Muffy can fit in the overhead bin of your flight, check with us please.
