Preliminary Visits

CAN I COME AND VISIT THE KENNEL WITHOUT MY PET?

You are more than welcome to visit. Please call for an appointment. We try to maintain a consistent kennel routine and unannounced disruptions can sometimes be stressful to our boarders. We'd like to schedule your visit at a time when the boarders would be out playing. You might wish to consider bringing your dog with you on this visit. It will give him a chance to take a look around and meet the person who will be taking care of him (provided he is up to date on shots and free of fleas, of course).

SCHEDULED PRACTICE DAY VISITS.

A practice day visit will allow your dog to meet Chris, become familiar with the property, the kennel routine and maybe play with some of the other boarders. These visits are done on weekdays when the kennel is more likely to be quieter.

There is no charge for a practice day visit.

A practice day visit gives you and us some feedback as to what to expect when you leave your dog for a lengthier stay. We have had much success acclimating new boarders with our day visits.

You should take advantage of this service if:

Your dog is nervous and shy of new people or unsure of new situations.

Your dog is older and has never stayed in a kennel before (or has not boarded in a long time).

Your dog was adopted from a shelter and may associate going to a kennel with being left at a shelter again.

Your dog is fine but you are nervous about leaving your dog in a kennel. A day visit can make an owner feel better about the boarding process.
