For boarding stays, you may bring their food (pre-portioned is preferred), any necessary medications, and a small comfort item like a blanket or toy. We provide comfortable bedding and plenty of enrichment activities.
How do you handle dogs with special behavioral needs?
We understand that some dogs may have specific behavioral tendencies, such as reactivity to certain dogs or anxiety in new environments. Our experienced staff carefully evaluates each dog’s behavior and tailors their experience accordingly. If your dog has special needs, please let us know in advance so we can provide the best care possible.
