Our Services

BOARDING

All our doggie guests are housed in their own individual indoor/outdoor accommodations. The indoor accommodations are climate–controlled and all of our clients are able to choose from 3 types of bedding: mats, cots and benches. Bedding can be topped off with fresh towels daily.

  • Our outdoor runs are six feet high, covered, shaded and double–locked.
  • The kennels are thoroughly sanitized and disinfected daily both inside and outside with a combination of bleach, water and detergent.
  • We also spray with an organic insecticide so we never have any problems with fleas and ticks.

The dogs can have up to four hours (weather permitting) of outdoor time, plus some additional extras:

  • Super Health Snack is our special treat. It is dog biscuits dipped in peanut butter and sprinkled with flavored vitamin powder and topped off with crumbled liver treats. It’s our Doggie Sundae.
  • PlayTimes: One of our play trained staff will entertain your dog one on one from 10 minutes to a half an hour.
  • Lap Times: for small and toy breeds that prefer to be held. We will pet them and cuddle them in our laps for their enjoyment.

Meals are served per your request. We can supply the food, or you can bring in your own supply. For sanitation and easy cleaning, we prefer to use our own dishes. Water is available at all times.

Vitamins and medication are given at no extra cost (unless it is very complicated and time consuming).

We also serve the need for dogs afflicted with Arthritis and/or Allergies.  We offer our supplement Vizyment-Arthritis (www.vizyment.com) and Vizyment-Allergy (www.vizyment.com) at no extra cost while your dog is our guest. 

Certain vaccinations (Rabies, DHLPP or DHPP and Bordetella) are required in order to board your dog.

GROOMING

services

Our grooming shop is available to both our boarding customers and our walk–in customers. Our professional groomers can do it all: Poodles, Terriers, Hounds, Shepherds, Retrievers, Setters etc. Mixed breeds are also beautifully and creatively groomed and styled.

We use more than a dozen different shampoos, conditioners and other dog hair products for different types of coats and skin conditions. All of our clients get their nails cut, ears cleaned and anal glands checked. They are then shampooed, thoroughly rinsed and fluff–dried.

 

We do not use tranquilizers. Stylish and seasonal bandannas adorn all of our groomed clientele.

DOGGIE DAY CAMP

Our Doggie Day Camp is not doggie day-care. It is better than that. We don't put a group of dogs together that don't know each other and supervise them as they move about like a herd of Wildebeast.services

Our Doggie Day Camp is an exclusive one on one session with your dog and one of our trained Doggie Day Camp counselors. Just like at home; we play with you dog's favorite toy without the pressure or distraction of other dogs around. We can also take your dog for an extended leisurely walk on a loooong and secure leash and collar. We have several fenced in acres for your dog's sniffing pleasure. Storefronts and converted warehouses in industrial parks and shopping strip malls cannot offer you such service. Those dogs never see the light of day.

Our one on one Doggie Day Camp familiarizes you dog with our staff quicker. It also relaxes your dog and raises its comfort level faster and higher.

Doggie Day Camp also eliminates the chance of a dog fight or transferring germs, disease and parasites from one dog to another by dogs constantly sniffing each other during group day-care in an indoor setting.

We offer 3 levels of Doggie Day Camp:

GOLD: The Gold package offers your dog 3 twenty minute individual play–times or walks or a combination of both spread out during the day. In between activities, a light lunch and our Super Health Snack is served–see extras in the Boarding area above.

SILVER: The Silver package is 3 fifteen– minute play–times or walks; also includes a light lunch and the Super Health Snack

BRONZE: The Bronze package is 3 ten–minute play–times or walks; also includes a light lunch and the Super Health Snack.

Full or part-time Doggie Day Camp is available Monday through Saturday from 8am to 6pm (except not during major holidays)

For information on current Doggie Day Camp rates call 630-969-1198

No contract required.
